We all loved the hit sitcom New Girl, which just wrapped up its 7th and last season in 2018. This series follows the quirky, sweet, and extraordinary Jessica Day after she moves into a loft with three single men. We all love Jess for her quick wit, innocent jokes, and simple lifestyle. She's enough to make anyone smile, and it's usually through some totally ridiculous or annoyingly sweet ways. Here are Jess's 10 best quotes that are definitely enough to make your day (no pun intended, but we're liking that last name).
"I feel like I wanna murder someone, and also, I want soft pretzels"
It's actually surprisingly easy to relate to Jessica's seemingly wild and quirky nature, and we're definitely feeling this one with every fiber of our beings. Don't we all just feel a little murdery at work, or at school, or just driving down the street? But also, maybe a soft pretzel will just solve all of your problems, right? We're feeling you, Jess. Also, we're suggesting you choose the pretzel over the criminal offense, it's probably for the best.
"Sometimes I think I was bred in a lab to help people"
Sometimes we think you were, too, Jess. Sometimes Jessica's selflessness simultaneously feels like her most redeeming quality and her biggest hamartia.
We all know Jess's obsession with helping people can get her into some sticky situations, but honestly, we need more people in this world like Jessica Day, who are just always willing to help someone out. Jess is one of a kind, and she's making our day all day long.
"I just wanted to listen to Taylor Swift alone"
Honestly, can Jess get more relatable? When we're having a bad day, don't we all just want to lock ourselves in our rooms and blast music from Taylor Swift's "Fearless" album? Even if you aren't a Swift fan, there's always another artist that you love, and music is one of the best forms of self-care and therapy, so Jessica is way ahead of the game. We hear you, and we're going to turn on some tunes right now.
"I find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person"
Yeah, we find that fundamentally strange, too. When Jess finally confronts Nick's girlfriend, Julia, she can't help but stand up her own quirkiness and call out this alien woman for her ridiculous tastes in food.
Julia is definitely not the perfect match for Nick, and we're rooting MAD for Jessica in this scene. Like really, would you trust someone that didn't like ANY dessert? Like not even ice cream?
"I hope you like feminist rants, because that's kinda my thing"
Hell yes, Jessica Day. We're preaching every ounce of feminist energy that this strong female character has, and we love every quirk that she brings to the table. She isn't afraid to be herself, and she is definitely in the business of women supporting women. This line made us laugh, made our day, and revved us up. We do like her feminist rants, and they're never getting old.
"You can't escape destiny! She comes for us all, that relentless b*tch"
When Jess hits us with a curse word or something even remotely vulgar, it's pretty hard not to smile from ear to ear or laugh out loud. Don't be fooled by her sweet and innocent persona, she packs a punch when she's ready to give one.
We're totally loving this hit at Mother Destiny, and we're all going to be praying for a bit of a break from this relentless b*tch. Take a word of advice from Jessica and don't hide to hide from your true life path, man.
"I brake for birds, I rock a lot of polka dots, I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours."
Jessica's entire sense of self is definitely something that all of us should take notes on. While we may not have the same quirks, everyone has some, and we love how much Jess embraces the heck out of hers. Sure, it seems pretty strange and hilarious to say that yes, you have touched glitter in the last 24 hours, but we're here for all of it and are supporting Jessica's weird hobbies. Always be your truest self, and make others laugh while doing it - best takeaway from Jessica Day that will always make your day if you follow it.
"I'm probably okay, but I also might be dead"
This is definitely another line we're all relating to. An inebriated Jessica Day is definitely an entertaining one, and we're all lying if we can't relate to this existential crisis during an evening involving drinking.
But also, this quote is actually slaying us at anytime, and we're all relating to being "probably okay". This quote definitely made us laugh and shake our heads at our own similar experiences.
"My first crush was on a Batman cake but my first sexual feelings were about teenage Simba"
Um, we're not really sure about this one... but it definitely made us laugh (and cringe in an extremely uncomfortable manner). Sure, Batman cakes are cool, and yeah, if you were a lion, teenage Simba is pretty smokin'. But yeah, let's just leave it at that. Still loving your quirks, Jess, but this one definitely made our day for a whole other and slightly disturbing reason. Who knows, maybe someone out there can relate.
"You don't like my style, that's fine, but I'm not gonna change who I am. So you're just gonna have to deal with and respect it"
This quote sums up the entirety of why we all love Jessica Day, and everyone needs a bit more of her spirit in their lives. Behind all of her weird and comical one-liners, this one hits us in the heart, and we're all beaming a little bit. Even if you hate cheesiness, we're applauding Jessica for standing up for what makes her HER, and we could all use a bit of this self-confidence. We're always rooting for you, Jess, and you'll continue to make our day every time we see your name.
