From the minute Jessica Day, Zooey Deschanel’s character in New Girl, appeared on our screens, we probably all let out a sigh of relief that we finally had a character we related to. Whether it’s her phenomenal fashion sense (because we all know that Deschanel brings her A game, let’s be honest) or the way she earnestly cracks her ridiculous puns, there’s something about Jess Day that makes us feel like she’s one of us. Every episode leaves me in tears because of the amount of seriously funny quotes that she and the cast as a whole dish out.

I think we can all admit that we each have our own little quirks that make us who we are. For starters, if you ask any of my friends, they would tell you that I’m pretty much the queen of impromptu street dancing and will burst out laughing at the most random things (that aren’t always funny in the first place). Why spend time worrying about what other people think when you can borrow a chapter from Jess’ book and just be your awesome self?

Everything about this show is just spot on—which makes it really hard to actually take a break and leave the couch (because missing out on New Girl reruns should be against the law). That being said, this roundup of funny quotes from Jess Day that are totally relatable will hit you right in the feels.

ALL the feels. “I just wanted to listen to Taylor Swift alone.”
Stay classy, ya’ll. “I can drink at 11:00…a.m.”
