College As Told By 'New Girl'

We all have an inner Nick.

College As Told By 'New Girl'

College is not always easy. It is stressful, tiredsome, and you seem to always find yourself in a position that is stressful and makes you want to cry. You pull all nighters, you never seem to know what to do with yourself, and somehow you always end up on Netflix. Things seem to happen over and over again though we can relate to "New Girl" for those of us in college.

Finals week! You are an emotional wreck who just wants to eat.

Most can relate to Jess when it comes to finals week. We are so exhausted from the late night studying, the tears, the pain, and wanting to mentally wanting to kill someone that even tries to talk to you. Though there is a soft spot for food to comfort you trough the week.

Having to share the community bathroom with others.

Sometimes you use the community bathroom and it can get a little crowded at times. You never actually know if the water will get hot in the shower or if the stalls are going to be full. Sometimes you never know who you are going to see in the bathroom or if your going to get lucky to get in and out, or if it will be crowded with a bunch of people. There are times where you feel as though it is absolutely gross because there are so many people use it. Either way, you survive another year of using it, either by choice, or the fact that you can't afford your own bathroom.

Though if in doubt, we spend money on food, because that's where our money goes to anyways.

Either which way, we are typically buying food. If we are stressed, we go for food. If we want to go out, we go get food. It is a never ending cycle of telling ourselves that we need to stop spending money on food, but we go out and get some anyways. Especially Taco Bell, the best friend of a college student.

Sometimes we question if we are watching Netflix to long.

If your anything like Nick, you have come to the acceptance that watching Netflix all day is alright. It is part of your week schedule. Sometimes it is almost a daily schedule. You realize that you just do not need to do responsbilites that day, because of Netflix. Right? Than as the day waste you away, you just watch it stress-fully.

College teaches you how to avoid laundry as much as possibly and I am not even kidding on this one.

I don't know about anybody else, but Nick is my spirt animal for this. I try to avoid laundry as long as possibly if I can. Sometimes I even feel as though it has been five months before I do laundry again. If I can go home and do free laundry I will do so. Laundry is so expensive at school. There is no way I am going to try to do it more often if I don't have to.

I feel like New Girl can relate to us on so many levels. Mostly Nick. Nick is like the spirt animal we never had. He is inside us all when it comes to how college feels. We somehow come through it all though and at the end of it all, it was totally worth it. Really, graduation is fast approaching and once it gets here, we will miss it all. Until then, I shall be here, watching my shows on Netflix.

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.
