Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl

It's only depressing until you don't have to pay rent.

Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl
Princesa da Preguica

Ah, summer. The only people who enjoy summer more than high school students are college students. Finally we get to pack up our dorms and say goodbye to exams, finals, and ridiculous term papers for three glorious months of nothing (unless you take summer classes, and if so, bless your soul). So here's your summer vacation, as summed up by the show New Girl.

When you see high schoolers driving around town


But then you realize they are judging you for moving back in with your parents


Then you get home and have to explain your car's contents to your parents


You start out trying to pretend you don't drink


But then you try to innocently order your first drink in front of your parents


And you feel so guilty for pretending you haven't drank before


But by the end of summer you really stop caring what they think


So you spend your summer doing nothing


But then you realize you need a job


When really you don't want to work at all


You realize all your friends are studying abroad or doing really cool internships


And you start losing touch with the world


Your parents try to relate to make you feel better about living at home


But you secretly love not having roommates


And you know you couldn't survive on your own


...And you really enjoy the free groceries


So you accept your fate


Before you know it, it's time to go back to school


And then your friends ask what you did with your summer

Yup, sounds about right, Winston.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
