Any fans of “New Girl” know that the characters live out a lot of our roommate realities. There is a lot of little bickering, wild drinking games that no one else understands, and a lot of weirdness that makes you a little uncomfortable. But you love it anyway, because your roommates are basically your family away from home. So, here is a list of how student roommates can relate to “New Girl”:
Coming home to all your roommates in the living room immediately equals a party.
When no one has done dishes in a week because of midterms…
You’ve seen them wear some pretty hilarious things
You know their weird quirks, and you accept them
You all know the best spot in the house for selfie lighting and take advantage of it
When you’ve gotten in an argument with a roomie and don’t know what to do with yourself
No one pre-games like you and your housemates
There’s always one person who doesn’t have any clue what they’re doing in the kitchen, and you’re just praying they don’t burn the place down
That feeling you get after a full house cleaning spree
Getting ready for a night out can get a little hectic
When your single roomie brings someone home for a little action
If they won’t check themselves, sometimes you’ve got to do it for them
You all love each other more than you could have imagined when you moved in together
