10 Reasons Why I Still Aspire To Be Like Liz Lemon
The TV Mouse//Wordpress

Tina Fey's Liz Lemon from NBC's 30 Rock will go down in history as one of T.V.'s most hilarious characters. Throughout her crazy day of unsuccessful attempts at romance, heading the world's laziest writers room, and trying to pacify the entertainment industry's two most spoiled actors, she still always finds time for a witty, self-deprecating remark. But even though she's portrayed as a mess who's trying to get her life together, here are 10 reasons why I aspire to be like Liz Lemon:

1. She's not afraid to give herself credit when she deserves it.

Liz Lemon is not what some might call "gracious" or "modest". But sometimes in life, you just need to be reminded that it's okay to know that you're awesome. So take a note from Lemon, and high five those angels.

2. She knows what she wants.

Whether it's her mac and cheese or a date with astronaut Mike Dexter, Liz Lemon knows what she wants. If only we all had that kind of insight.

3. She's okay with not being cool...

Liz know's she not a cool hipster, and embraces it head on.

4. Even if that means she's a nerd.

Nerd or not, if it means I can be like Liz Lemon, then count me in.

5. She's an absolute boss.

Liz might struggle sometimes trying to juggle the most incompetent workers in the world, but at the end of the day she knows how to get stuff done.

6. She has great ideas.

With sketches like "Gaybraham Lincoln" and "Fart Doctor", how has Liz Lemon not won a Pulitzer yet?

7. She gives great advice.

Though she's better at dishing it out than taking it.

8. She knows how to spend a good night in.

Honestly, night cheese has become my ideal for how I want to spend my nights.

9. But she also knows how to have fun.

Night cheese is great and all, but everyone needs to leave their house occasionally.

10. She's not perfect.

Liz Lemon is a flawed person, maybe even more so than your typical comedy heroine. But that just means that she's constantly working on herself and towards her goals, something I strive to do. Because just like Lemon, we all deserve to have it all.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
