Seven Life Lessons From New Girl

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

#1 Be yourself

Jess resonates in all of us. We’re all slightly quirky; she just embraces it and isn’t afraid to show it.

 

#2 Live in the now

Sometimes you don’t know what the hell you’re doing with your life and that’s okay. Things may not always go as planned, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy your life right now.

#3 Lean on your best friends

The show makes us all want to live with our best friends. Although it can be tough at times, true friends always pull through for you.

#4 Don’t settle

All of the characters are constantly dating different people, but it goes to show that they’re not willing to settle for less than what they deserve.

#5 It’s never too late to follow your dreams

Cece spent most of her life modeling and when it ends, she becomes a bartender and is unsure of her next move. With the encouragement of her friends, she decides to follow her dreams and goes to college. It takes some of us a bit longer to realize what we want to do in life, and Cece is a prime example to show that it is never too late.

#6 Don’t be afraid to chase someone

Schmidt has been obsessed with Cece from day one. He never stopped chasing the girl of his dreams and ended up with her. If you’re crazy over someone, it’s okay to chase them a little to show them that you’re in for the long haul.

#7 You need a Winston in your life

He’s not only hilarious, but he tells it like it is. We all need a little bit of his spirit with us everyday.
