All the emotions and weirdness together in one show.

College Life, As Told By 'New Girl'
tvseriesfinale.com

College is weird, emotional, and sometimes completely ridiculous which is why no one can relate better than the cast of New Girl. (If you have yet to watch this hilarious series I totally recommend it).

Jess, Nick, Schmidt, and Winston are adults in their early thirties who share a loft while all dealing with individual relationship and career choices. Although none of this sounds relatable to college life, New Girl demonstrates that maturing continues to happen even years after graduation.

Unfortunately this means that the struggles you are faced with today, may or may not still be there in 10 years. For now, we can just focus on college life as described by the characters in New Girl.

Indecision and bad decisions haunt every college student

As college students, we're faced with daily decision, some more crucial than others, but all equally difficult.

Responsibility is an avoided subject

What do you mean I have to cook, clean, and do laundry for myself?

Everyone is mentally and emotionally exhausted

Some might admit it more than others, but everyone is struggling with the exhaustion of college.

It is nearly impossible to go an entire semester without crying at least once

And sometimes it is imposible to get through the week without a few tears, trust me it's normal.

When something goes right, we want to celebrate

Like passing a difficult exam or not procrastinating on homework.

Secretly hoping you'll cross paths with that cute guy

Then awkwardly saying hi when you make eye contact,

There is nothing wrong with spending the day binge watching Netflix

You need a break every once in awhile.

We're all trying to live our life without gaining too much weight

The freshman fifteen still exists sophomore, junior, and senior year.

Giving advice to others may or may not be our specialty

Even if we don't listen to our own advice, we love to give it to others.

Alone time is what keeps us sane

We all need that "me time" to keep us from going insane.

We're all just trying to figure out this whole growing up thing

If you think someone has their life all together in college, they're probably just really good at pretendin.

College is a weird place, but we've accepted it

At least we have each other to share in the weirdness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
