1. She’s realistic
I know I’m not going to find a tall, dark, and handsome intellectual who will buy me iced coffee and let me talk his ears off about the current political climate… at least not anytime soon. So Mindy put it best when she said, “Maybe I won’t get married, you know? Maybe I’ll do one of those Eat, Pray, Love things. Ugh. No. I don’t want to pray. Forget it. I’ll just die alone.” She speaks the truth,
2. She knows how to increase the chances of having a good night
What is worse than having a ridiculously fun night just to wake up the next morning to that dreadful text about overusing your data? Nothing. Mindy gets things right by suggesting that her squad, “..go talk to the DJ and see if he’ll tell us the WiFi to this place.”
3. She gets the appeal of Dexter Dexter
Dexter Day is hot guys. He kills bad guys, has a deep voice, and loves kids. I zoomed through all the seasons of Dexter in a month and I have a feeling Mindy did too. I mean who else would put the following on their dating profile: “If you’re a serial killer I’m not interested…If you’re a serial killer who only murders serial killers I’m very interested.” Genius.
4. She’s got the comeback for when people ask why you’re single
Why is it so wrong to not want to settle? I am sure there is someone out there with the face of Dev Patel and Michael Fassbender’s love child and the gravitas of Barack Obama. And I’m sure that person also has a thing for fast talking Political Science majors! I am totally behind Mindy when she says, “I am not picky. I just have standards.”
5. She knows what a reasonable fear looks like
Maybe this doesn’t cross anybody else’s mind but whenever I get near the Business or Econ department… I channel my inner Mindy and think, “I’ve never been that close to billionaires in person before. Oh no, do you think one of them might try to ‘50 Shades of Grey’ me?” Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it is hilarious.
