20 Reasons We All Want to be Jessa

We're all a bunch of Hannah's, Marnie's and there's always the occasional Shosh's. But deep inside all of us, there's a Jessa.

20 Reasons We All Want to be Jessa

Even if you live under a rock (I'm sure those all have wifi now), then you've heard of HBO's GIRLS. For those of you without a wifi connection underneath those little rocks, it's a show about four friends out of college trying to survive the transition into adulthood in New York City. 

It doesn't sound like anything, but it is EVERYTHING. Creator/writer/producer/actress Lena Dunham has given us an unbelievable group of friends to vicariously live our lives through the past four seasons. 

There's Hannah, who is subtly the most vein person on the Earth; there's Marnie, who is a perfectionist struggling to keep it all together; there's little Shoshanna, a doe-eyed confused college grad whose peppiness is enough for a thousand people. Last but definitely not least, there's Jessa. 

Jessa is the whimsical free spirit who does not give the slightest sh*t about anything. She says whatever she wants, does whatever she wants, and has some vague European accent we all wish we had. Not to mention she's a walking Anthropology advertisement. 


1. She does not listen to anyone's rules, so don't even bother with her. 

 


2. She digs deeps and asks the real questions you're afraid to hear.


3. She does things on her own time, all the time. The place doesn't matter. 


4. She knows that every mistake makes for a great tale, so you really can't be ashamed of anything. 


5. She's honest about her feelings on dating...


6. ... And blatantly honest about everything else.


7. She's always there to encourage her friends to calm the hell down about life. Seriously, Hannah, relax.


8. She's way too cool for your stupid social media.


9. You actually do. Not. Mess. With. Jessa. 


10. She understands that jobs are the worst thing to happen to a 20-something.


11. She's independent as hell.


12. Jessa parties pretty frickin' hard. Be thankful we don't go to college with her. 


13. She will be that friend to take your phone and text the guy you're too afraid of. Cause Jessa doesn't give a damn.


14. She's not afraid to be vulnerable sometimes.


15. She's always by her friends' side.


16. She knows that she's doing a favor to any man she gives the priveldge of dating.


17. She'll call you out on your stupid clothing choices. Because she's probably dressed better than you. 


18. She can put on a happy face... but only when she has to. 


19. If you make her angry, she will let you know immediately.


20. She is queen. The most fabulous of them all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
