The Struggles Of The New Semester As Told By New Girl

It's that time. Time to get off the couch, turn off Netflix and start hitting the books again. The holidays are over and all your friends are back spread across the country. It's still cold a there's probably snow on the ground even though it's supposed to be the "spring" semester. What sense does that make? At least every college student across this country gets to feel all these crappy feelings together.

There's still 5 months until the summer, AKA warmth

It's called "spring semester" for a reason.

You have to find time to finish that Netflix series you started over break

$300 dollars for a 20 page book? No problem, here take all my money.

Home cooked meals are no longer an option

Going out and getting drunk with my friends sounds like a blast, but my bed is also my best friend.
