New Girl, The Modern Day Friends?

As a college student and an avid TV/Netflix watcher I haveto say one of my favorite shows by far is New Girl. It’s one of those shows that no matter what mood or what time of day it is this show satisfies, to me it is like a modern day Friends.

New Girl, The Modern Day Friends?

For those of you who haven’t seen it, New Girl begins when the main character Jessica (Jess), a bubbly young teacher whose boyfriend cheated on her, answers an ad on Craig’s list looking for a new roommate. Her new roommates turn out to be three young men: Nick, Schmidt, and Winston. From there the show follows how their friendship develops, their interconnected lives as they navigate through complex romantic relationships, their career choices, and ultimately shows their growth as they try and find their place in the world.

This show has it all smart and witty humor, drama, romance, and perfectly imperfect characters. Guys and girls alike will be hard-pressed to not find at least one of the characters they can’t relate to. Overall it has won me over and often my friends and I will get together just to watch it. Have I convinced you to watch it yet? If not, here are a few of my favorite quotes from the show that hopefully you will find as entertaining as I did! (For those of you who already watch New Girl I know you must be as excited as I am for the new season premiere Tuesday, September 16th!)

When you put it like that, it sounds amazing… AND like

Boob season's over, for you! –Jess   

There is something serious I have to tell you about the future. The name of my first-born child needs to be Reginald Vel Johnson

I lost a bet to Schmidt. –Nick   

Girl, I got an obligation...at a...sandwich...meeting. –Winston   

I'm in a limo! I wish I had really long legs so I could stretch 'em out the length of the limo! –Jess  

He's so soft, like a towel. -Jess   

Damn it! I can't find my driving moccasins anywhere! -Schmidt

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.
