The Stages of Finding a Formal Date, As Told by the Cast of New Girl

The struggle to find a date for formal is so real. Those lucky enough to be "talking" to someone know they're set. But for those less fortunate, looking for a formal date is like a new form of torture ... I mean, you can't just take anyone to formal — it's FORMAL. The pressure to snag a hot date who is conveniently tall, a good dancer and single is hard enough, and of course you want to pick someone you know will ask you to their formal in return ... here's the picking-a-date process for the single and awkward, explained by the cast of New Girl:

When exec first announces the date for formal, you're like:

Then, when you realize you have no one to bring ...

And when your friends ask you who you're bringing, you're like:

When you find out your friends all have dates ...

So you ask them for advice on who to bring.

And they say try to comfort you, like:

So you all start stalking to make a list of potential candidates, like:

And once that fails, you resort to scoping out a date at a social, like:

And you try to look pretty, like:

And be nice, for once.

But then, when it comes time to ask them, you feel the pressure and chicken out, like:

You start to convince yourself you don't want to go.

But you know you want to go and dance, like:

When you hear your #1 prospect already has a date ...

And then you see the girl that asked him, and you're like:

When you have to submit a date's name, but still have no one ...

And the guy you've friend-zoned says he'll gladly go with you.

When you finally pick someone to ask ...

But you get nervous and instead end up like:

But then you finally grow a pair and ask them, like:

And they say yes ...

Success! But now begins the struggle of finding a dress. ..

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
