As this summer break begins to wind down, I have come to realize how much of my carefree and sunny vacation was devoted to spending a hefty duration of time indoors to appreciate the pompous remarks of television's most uppity personality. Though the entirety of "New Girl" is entertaining unaccompanied by the analyzation of each individual character, Schmidt undoubtedly offers the most comically egotistical messages out of all the Loft 4D roommates. Because of this, I have gained a new sort of gratitude toward Schmidt's quarrels, and I wanted to share some of my favorites.
