If you’ve been living under a rock, or in a bunker underground, for the past week, you may have missed the release of the new Netflix original, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The storyline revolves around Kimmy, who was kidnapped when she was 15 with 3 other women by a reverend who claimed that the apocalypse was coming and he was going to save them. If you have not yet binge watched all 13 episodes (I’m guilty), it looks like you’re skipping class tomorrow because you’re missing the best show to hit Netflix.
Kimmy’s newfound life is much like the life of a freshman college student. Whether you currently are, or wishing you could go back for a few more years, Kimmy’s experience was much like ours.
Getting to your dorm room and being happy to be out of your parents’ house, no matter how tight the living quarters are
You begin by exploring communal bathrooms
Then you soon realize you have to learn to cook
Your next task is figuring out the shuttle system to and from west campus
You pay your first tuition statement and realize the hole of debt you’re digging yourself into
But it’s okay because at least you can tell your friends about the cute guy who sits in front of you in lecture
Then your roommates ask you to go to the gym
And your first fight with your roommate might go a little something like this:
You start exploring “downtown” Winona
Then you soon find out what “downtown” is, and realize that your fake doesn’t work as well as you thought it would
And you might get catcalled on the way home.
You head back to your room and you see security coming towards you on a Saturday night but you manage to not get caught
You end up stumbling home from a late night out
And you learn how to battle through a hangover
Cheers to three more years!
