9 Tina Fey Quotes To Live By
Esquire

Many of you guys know Tina Fey from movies like Baby Mamma and the more recent one Sisters. Besides being an unbelievably hilarious actress she also gives bad-ass advice in her book Bossypants that came out in 2011. Here are 9 Tina Fey quotes from her book that I think we should all at least try to live by. Take a look:

1. "Say yes. You'll figure it out afterwards."

Sometimes you just have to get out of your comfort zone and do it. Ask that guy out on a date or more importantly try that new appetizers at Appleebee's. Whatever it is, you go girl.

2. "You can tell how smart people are by what they laugh at."

If they laugh at things like when their opponent messes up in chess, they're not smart they're just douchebags. Go for people who have similar humor as you because then they'll laugh at all your jokes. Duh.

3. "If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?"

Literally everyone focuses on themselves. Like when you take a group picture and everyone goes "OMG let's see it!!" they're just zooming in on their face, legs, hand placement, eye liner evenness and so many other things. So don't worry, you're doing just great.

4. "If I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I'm going to lose my mind."

She took the words right out of my mouth. The thing that bothers me about old men telling us young girls how we should feel about rape goes back to biology. When a guy rapes a girl, that guy is physically disrupting and altering that girl's personal space and mindset.

5. "Stop calling each other sluts and whores. That makes it okay for guys to call us sluts and whores."

Just because she hooked up with a guy who you secretly had a crush on but told no one about and didn't act on doesn't give you the right to call her a whore. And maybe use another world like overly friendly with mouth or something along those lines. Get creative, ad-lib that ish.

6. "I have to do that thing rich people do, where they turn money into more money."

Still don't know how people get rich, but maybe one day I'll marry someone who knows how to.

7. "Confidence is 10% hard work and 90% delusion."

If you give off the vibe of yeah I look hot AF and yeah I do know what I'm doing in these 6 inch designer heels that I wear all the time, then everyone else will think you got your life together. It doesn't matter if you actually do or not, you can figure that part out later. Like when your electricity goes off cause you don't know how to pay your bills or something like that.

8. "Do your thing and don't care if they don't like it."

Do things for you, not for anyone else.

9. "Gay people don't actually try to convert people.That's Jehovah's witness you're thinking about."

It's 2016, if you're a homophobe get over yourself and accept people for who they are.

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.

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.
