If you haven't seen "New Girl," you're seriously missing out. Since watching "New Girl," I've learned so much about myself. Here are some things I've learned from each of the main characters on the show:
Jess
Jess teaches me all the time that it's OK to be weird. Jess is single-handedly one of the best TV characters I've ever seen, and I don't think the casting crew could have ever found anyone better to portray her. Zooey Deschanel is perfect in every way possible. Jess sings out loud about e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, she doesn't know how to talk to boys, she watches Dirty Dancing when she's sad, she wears dresses more than anyone I've ever seen, she tries to start a bell band and she is always trying to make her students' lives better. When you're a teacher, it's OK to punish your students by making them sing songs about bullying.
CeCe
Cece teaches me that it's OK to be insecure. Cece is very insecure about her love life, her mother's approval and about her financial status. Even though her mother doesn't approve of Schmidt, she's a go-getter and she's not going to give him up. She's the perfect amount of sweet and sassy and she teaches us all that it's normal to have a few insecurities because that's what makes us human.
Schmidt
Schmidt teaches me that it's OK to be over-confident. Schmidt is good at everything, and he knows it. Even when he loves Cece, he's extremely consistent and confident about it. He never gives up on her. Schmidt's confidence was gained from his extreme loss of weight. Schmidt's over-confidence doesn't make him cocky, though. He just has to put money in the douchebag jar every now and again. Sometimes working in an office with all women gets to him, and he doesn't think before he speaks. Even if he did think before he spoke, he would probably still say it.
Nick
Nick teaches me that it's OK to lack common sense. Sometimes you pick up the wrong Indian woman from the airport because you mistake her for Cece's mom. Sometimes you have to learn how to do the right thing by making a few mistakes first. Nick also lets me know that it's OK to laugh at yourself and make a best friend out of an elderly Asian man. He has his own views and opinions, and even though he didn't finish law school to work as a bartender, he's still one of the smartest characters because he cares about his happiness.
Coach
Coach teaches me that it's OK to be crazy. Yelling is the only way he can communicate feelings properly. He yells about everything, but the yelling shows that he cares. Yelling is really all Coach does other than teaching his gym class. He yells at them too, a lot.
Winston
Winston teaches me that it's OK to be random. He orders a Shirley Temple at the bar every now and again and drinks the most feminine drinks on the menu. He's a cop that never solves any crimes except for the time he lifted a car because of a rush of adrenaline. He just wants to be included in the plans, and he will complain until then. I'm surprised that they let him be a part of the treehouse plan. Even after being dumped forty-seven times, he's still extremely positive.
Ferguson
Last but not least, Ferguson teaches me that it's OK to be the cat in the big crazy home full of amazing people.
