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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
