The “poor college student” trope is so popular because it’s TRUE — we’re not the most financially stable people on the planet. Here are some moments from “New Girl” that will hit close to home, especially when you’re in between paychecks…
When your #squad wants to go shopping, but you have to check your bank account first:
“Playfully” roasting your friends who have money to spend on fun:
When you think there’s going to be free food or shirts somewhere, but you find you were mistaken:
When the situation is so dire that you have to find some unique places/ways to have a good time:
The deep emotional turmoil you fall into when you can’t afford that one thing you really wanted:
Trying to make a budget like:
Asking to borrow a little cash from a friend…
And when you can finally return the favor:
Your face when someone suggests a restuarant where a meal is over $10:
And finally, when you realize that you might just make it after all.
