A Look Inside The Woman's Mind: As Told By "New Girl"
theodysseyonline

Ever wondered what exactly goes on in the minds of women? Or if you are a woman, have you ever wondered if other women have the same thoughts, emotions, and experiences as you? Well, wonder no more. While a woman's mind can be an enigma of sorts, and though we may feel simple yet complex, what it all really boils down to is that we're humans who have basic needs. And wants. And cravings. And emotions. And well, I think you get the picture. And what better way to get a closer look into the mind of a woman than through the eyes of Jessica Day -- a strong, independent, emotional, awkward woman who is just trying to figure out life. Just like the rest of us. On that note, here are fourteen sneak peeks into what it's really like to think like a woman.

1. We love food.

Sad? We eat. Happy? We eat. Sitting in class? We eat.

2. Sometimes we just want to be alone and indulge in overrated music.

Taylor Swift, Adele, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, the works.

3. We have a lot of feelings about a lot of things.

Sometimes we have an explosion of feelings. We can't help it.

4. We know what we like and what we don't.

Although we can be indecisive at times, deep down we know what we want. And more than that, we know what we don't want.

5. We just want to be accepted for who we are.

This is one of the biggest struggles that women face. We don't have to be understood, but we do want to be fully accepted for who we truly are. No exceptions. No ifs, ands, or buts.

6. We overthink. A lot. Which causes us to sometimes make questionable decisions.

One bad decision can ruin our entire day if we let it.

7. Though some women don't appreciate the term "crazy", we all have a crazy side and sometimes it rears its ugly head.

It's something we're born with. And something we try with all our might to keep under control.

8. We love to sing and dance and act silly when we're home alone. Or in public. To each her own.

It lifts our spirits and reminds us that life really is wonderful and worth living. And you might earn brownie points for singing/dancing along.

9. Sometimes we get upset for no reason.

Whether it's because we're on our period, we have a lot on our plate, or someone in our life has done us wrong, when we get upset, we just want to be comforted and cuddled. Or left alone. It really depends on the girl.

10. We don't like to admit it, but we do check out attractive guys.

We notice. And we talk about you to our girlfriends.

11. Sometimes we can be a little snappy.

Some girls just get under each other's skin. Which can make us get a little quick-tempered.

12. We regret stupid things that probably won't matter in five years.

Why did I get a caramel mocha instead of a pumpkin spice latte? Why did I wear this shirt today? Why did I say that dumb thing to that guy in 7th grade?

13. We know we can't escape our problems. But we try anyway.

We're girls. We have a lot of problems. Sometimes they're just too much to handle, so we avoid them for as long as possible. But eventually we know we have to face them.

14. Even though we don't always openly admit it, we know what we deserve.


And though it may take us awhile to realize it, we will not settle for less than the best.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
