10 Times Amy Schumer Was Just Like Us

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Amy Schumer. She’s what they call a “boss”. Her lack of a filter and abundance of self-confidence is what makes her the gut-busting comedienne she is today. But what’s more is that it makes her all too #relatable. Sure, she’s a successful actress who starred in the movie of the summer and has her own sketch comedy TV series, but do you think she goes on the cover of GQ magazine to flaunt it? Well, actually she did, but dressed as PRINCESS LEIA. She’s weird. We’re weird. It’s a perfect match. Are we the same person yet.?

1. When she hated the gym and yearned for an existence of nothingness.

I think we can all agree that doing nothing is our fav hobby, amiright?

2. When she decided that a regular sized glass just wasn’t enough. 

Ummm start selling these so we can stop drinking wine out of bowls?! 

3. When she felt it was her duty, nay, her obligation to help out a friend in a dieting crisis.Sure Chris Pratt didn’t ASK for the help per say, but don’t all friends just know when to help a sister out?

4. When she said “no” to mini skirts and “HECK YES” to sweats!

Stars in sweatpants-they’re just like us!

5. When she had a chill night out with her main galpal

Except that her “galpal” is Jennifer Lawrence and their “chill night out” was on stage at a Billy Joel concert… but like… we go to concerts, too.

6. When she did anything not to wash dishes

A day without dishes is a beautiful day.

7. When she killed the “Netflix and chill” game 

Only real homies substitute a date for Martinis and Ben & Jerry’s.

8. When she attempted (and failed) to contour her face.

Highlight? Blend? Translucent powder?! We understand NONE OF IT!!

9. When she pranked her buddies once the right moment presented itself. 

And isn’t that moment always on the Red Carpet at the TIME 100 Gala.

10. When she knew less about sports and more about studs. 

We’ve all been there, girl.
