11 Things New Girl Taught Me

"New Girl" is a show that will make you laugh uncontrollably, cry without shame and grow to love people you have never met before. Most importantly, "New Girl" is a show full of so many life lessons that can apply to anyone who watches. Some lessons are profound and impactful while others are so subtle you probably didn’t even know you were learning anything. Here are just a few of the many life lessons from the show.


How to flaunt what I've got and be proud of it

You are beautiful! Be loud and proud of that because no one in this world is you and you should be celebrated everyday.

How to stand up for yourself

People are going to try and push you down and keep you there sometimes, it's life. But you really just have to be your own hero and fight back!

Communication is key in any relationship

Whether the relationship is between your friends, family, significant other, teacher, etc. Speaking with one another is really the glue that holds the foundation.

Everyone thinks they have flaws so don’t judge them

Everyone is dealing with different stuff in their life so who are you to criticize someone? Let's all be like Jessica Day and spread the love and cut down the hate in this already messed up world.

Being too nice is never a bad thing

Do you see a girl with really cute shoes? Tell her! It could completely change her day without you even knowing.

Good friends are something that always need to be cherished

This is the family we choose and we choose them for a reason. They are there for the good, the bad, the awkward and sad and never leave your side. These are your ride or dies and you should be thankful some people are kind enough to stick around!(Shoutout to my BFF - Abby Stough!)


Your own love story is something youll know in your gut

Trust me, when it's your fairytale you will be able to feel it.

Being shameless gets you places


Do you like that guy? Tell him! Do you want that job? Let it be known! Do you like to wear socks with your sandals?? Flaunt that girlfriend! Most likely you're going to regret not doing something in the future more than actually doing something so go for it and don't be ashamed.

Believe in yourself

You have to be your own cheerleader sometimes. So get up every morning, look in the mirror and give yourself one compliment. Confidence is radiant.


Life sometimes sucks but never let that stop you

You have to keep going because no one wants to be the 35 year old living in their parents basement because they got disappointed a couple of times in their early 20's. Ya feel me?

Finally, there is never a problem wine can't fix

My favorite is Cabernet Sauvignon, but that's just a personal opinion.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
