Why is Nick so realtable?

16 Times Nick Summed Up My "Adult" Life

Whoever hasn't seen "New Girl" by now is dead to me. Not really, just kidding, but seriously, this is such a good show. It's like the "Friends" of our generation. I couldn't even begin to pick a favorite (shh, don't tell it's Winston all the way) because every character is so perfect. But there is only on that I identify with on a deeper level: Nick Miller. I feel that, as I have grown while watching the show, so has he. Remember when he was a constantly drunk, part-time bartender who dropped out of law school with only three semesters left? Now he's, Nick Miller, author of "The Pepperwood Chronicles" and has a bank account and is half owner of the bar. Nick has slowly, but surely, transformed into a more responsible adult. Sure, he had his rough patches, but who hasn't? And of course because he is the grumpiest and least responsible one of the other three in the loft, I identify with him completely. So here are 15 times I identified with Nick, and maybe the rest of you Nick Millers out there will be able to identify too.

1. As I age, I'm finally getting closer to the grandma that I know is living inside of me

I feel like people laugh too hard when I say I'm a Grandma, but they need to know I'm serious and proud of this fact.

2. I'm pretty sure I actually did this...

Isn't this how reading actually works? Sometimes I'll use a word and have no idea what it means or how I know it but I know I used it correctly.

3. I have no social graces, least of all at fancy restaurants

Social etiquette does not apply when there is food nearby.

4. Ha, exercise!

Honestly, my idea of being healthy really is trying to eat less doughnuts. And maybe taking the stairs instead of the elevator. But then remembering how horrible it was and taking the elevator on the way down.

5. It is perfectly fine!

Why does only Nick understand?

6. Nick's logic agrees with me...

7. People really are the worst...

8. Who can actually afford this?

Honestly, it's a treat to fill my tank ALL the way up

9. Me too, Nick, me too

Self-sabotage is really all I know anymore...

10. It's the truth though, isn't it?

This was definitely me before I realized by negativity was making turning me into a lemon and I decided to try a little more Jess.

11. I will die as a stubborn little Nick donkey

I have always been stubborn, and you can't say otherwise!

12. Why can I never learn?

For example, I put my drink on the edge of my desk, it gets knocked over and my day is ruined along with my carpet. Do I regret it? Yes. Will I do it again? Most likely...

13. Honestly, how I am I still alive now?

I don't exercise, or eat well, seriously, how I am I alive? I also fall a lot because I have no sense of gravity, so really, how am I alive? Forget successful adult, I'm not a successful human being.

14. Why do people always assume I'm angry?

This is my face, I don't control it, this is how it is!

15. Everything I touch- ruined

I get it Nick, I get it...

16. I had to include this though, because his turtle face is my spirit animal...

If you want to see more Nick (who doesn't), you can catch New Girl on Netflix and new episodes on Fox, Tuesdays at 7!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
