First Semester Of College As Told By New Girl

Many refer to the first year of college as the new chapter of your life: new school, new friends, new classes, new experiences, new amounts of stress. But no one explains the first year of college better than New Girl.

1. "I'm Really Bad At Making Decisions"

Aren't we all Jess? If you thought making decisions was hard before college, wait until you have to make decisions that involve your future on a daily basis. And if you're indecisive, I wish you the best of luck--this is coming from personal experience.

2. "Saturday is a day for sleeping"

Yes, yes it is. College is all about managing time. Sometimes we get so caught up in managing time to do everything else, that we forget to leave some time to do the most important thing: sleep. Use your weekends wisely to relieve some of that sleep deprivation.

3. "Cute Guy Alert"

Yes there are lots of them, everywhere you turn. Focus on school.

4. "It's perfectly fine to watch TV all day"

No it's really not. You probably will try to avoid homework at all costs, especially by watching as much Netflix as possible. You'll also try to convince yourself that watching TV all day is completely okay, until you have to write that paper you've been putting aside in one night.

5. "I love food"

Who doesn't? But watch out, the freshman 15 is so real and it will find its way of sneaking up on you.

6. "What's Wrong With Me?"

The one question that we always seem to ask ourselves, yet for some reason, can never find the answer.

7."Well I guess I can't hide my crazy"

No you probably can't and there's no reason you should. Embrace your inner-craziness and live your life because chances are, everyone around you is probably just as crazy.

8. "Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably."

College is all about experimentation and experience. Odds are you will do dumb things that you will most likely regret. Just be safe and smart.

9. "That's a terrible idea"

Yeah it probably is. But will you do it anyways? Most likely.

10. "Help me!!!"

I know that most of the time you may feel like you don't have your life together, but everything will work itself out, I promise. Just hang in there, you can do this.

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.
