Living In the Zoo (As Told By the Guys from New Girl)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

You made it through another week from hell and it’s finally time to enjoy the weekend.

Are we hitting the paint party in MoHo or just swinging by LIT? Either way, you’re dressed to impress, and it’s looking like it’s gonna be a good night.

As a 21+ Collegiette, the next morning you realize you may have had a little too much to drink at the bars last night.

Now you’re lying in bed wondering why they need to be working on construction right outside your window.

The day flies by and before you know it it’s Sunday night. Didn’t you have a Bio midterm tomorrow morning?

But no worries, after pulling an all-nighter you actually end up killing the exam. Boom.

Now you’re stuck in Thompson and all you’ve eaten today is a banana and a Caveman bar. It’s 12:04, but every time people start packing up your teacher stops and says, “You are to stay until I dismiss you.”

Zoning out, you decide it’s time to start being more health-conscious.

To reward yourself for the Bio victory, you and your friends decide to get a little shopping in at Holyoke Mall.

It feels so good not having to choose from the clothing selection at Hampshire, known for its wide variety of options: Aeropostale, Aeropostale, Target, and Aeropostale. 

You decide to pop in a quick gym session since it’s been a while, but quickly realize you forgot about the paranoia that inevitably comes with doing floor work at the Rec Center.

Another all-nighter. Can’t. Read. Any. More. Words.

At least at eleven you have Comp Lit with that tall drink of water two seats down.

That night, you’re exhausted and decide to spend a few loner days in your room refusing to move.

Yeah, you have that history paper due tomorrow, but the new episode of American Horror Story premieres in ten minutes.

In the midst of your third hell week in a row, you seriously consider driving home and announcing to your parents that school is no longer really your thing.

You have a lot of work to do, but your roommate’s out for the night so it’s time to get weird.

The health-conscious kick wears off after about six hours, and you decide that a trip to Late Night is desperately needed; cheese quesadillas and waffle fries will solve all your problems.

Your roommate makes a snide comment about your food selection, but you politely remind her that it’s yo’ body, and you deserve a treat.

You also let her know that you don’t appreciate her sass.

No worries, Collegiettes. The men of New Girl are here for you.

Catch all-new episodes of New Girl Tuesday November 4th on FOX!
