10 Reasons Why I'm Not Ready for a Ring by Spring, As Told by New Girl

As Spring approaches, engagements will cover your Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter feeds. Here are 10 reasons I won't be on them.

1. This semester, I once skipped my 8 a.m. Volleyball class for an entire week. I have a responsibility problem... and possibly an attendance problem.

2. I make $90 a week, can barely pay rent, and have never had to file taxes. I am not educated enough for a joint bank account, a mortgage or filing taxes together. I can barely even dress myself daily.


3. I enjoy food too much to buy it for sharing with anyone but myself.

4. Marriage leads to children and I think I might actually still be a child.

5. If I can't even handle my own mood swings 24/7, no one else is going to be able to.

6. I take up the entire bed. The entire bed. The entire queen sized bed. There is no room for another human.

7. I can cook four things... half of those are coffee.

8. I spend more time with Netflix than I will with my husband at this point in my life.

9. I need to make a 9-5 commitment before I can make a 24/7 commitment.

10. Finding myself is infinitely more important right now than finding my soulmate.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
