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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
