Kimmy Schmidt: Meet The Characters

Kimmy Schmidt is the fun loving, ray of sunshine we have all been missing in our lives.

We need to take a minute and talk about why she, Titus, Gretchen, Jacqueline, Xan and Lillian are all great. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is full of inspirational moments and hilarious antics that could only come from the brain of creator Tina Fey.

Let's start with Kimmy.

After spending 15 years in the bunker with Rev. Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, Kimmy enters a new world. She is quirky and fearless, taking on the real world in a totally Kimmy fashion. She may not understand all the insults Xan throws her way, but she still goes blow for blow with her.

When she isn't doing that, Kimmy is literally keeping her friends' lives from falling to shambles. She makes Titus a better person, especially when he tries to keep Ronald Wilkerson hidden deep within. She ends up helping Xan realize that her friends are actually horrible people. Don't even get me started on how much Jacqueline needs her. Gretchen and the other mole women would've gone crazy without her. Kimmy knows how to make the world a better place

Now let's talk about Gretchen, one of the other mole women.

Gretchen is a little bit of an odd duck. She actually enjoyed her time in the bunker. She believes that Rev. Gary Wayne wanted the best for her and the other mole women. ***SPOILERS*** In fact, she even wanted to go back into the bunker during Rev. RWGW's trial. In season two, Gretchen takes it a step further and joins the "Church of Cosmetology" before starting her own cult....


Lillian is one crazy, cool old lady.

There really isn't a lot to say about Lillian. She is crazy in the best sense of the word. Fiercely loyal to Titus and Kimmy, Lillian sticks by her friends through and through. She even helps Titus get a ~special friend~ in season two.


Xan is the cold, awkward teenager I always wanted to be.

Xanthippe Lannister Voorhees acts tough and cool, but deep down she is the over-achieving, involved nerd that I was in high school. Except Xan is much ~cooler~ about it than I was (sorry, bhs friends). Constantly looking for new ways to expose Kimmy and make her life a living hell, Xan actually has a very complex relationship with her friends and with her dad. We all feel a little bad for her at the end of season one, but we know (hope) Xan will be just fine in Connecticut.


Jacqueline.

Jacqueline, A.K.A. Jackie Lynn, is a piece of work... in a good way. After leaving the reservation she grew up on, yes, she is a Native American, Jacqueline dyed her hair blonde and started wearing blue contacts. She also married Julian Vorhees, New York billionaire. After ending their tumultuous relationship at the end of season one, Jacqueline high-tailed it for the reservation to sort out her problems. She would not be able to function without Kimmy. Jacqueline barely has a grip on her own life, let alone her son Buckley's.

Jacqueline is hilariously incapable of living her life without the help of someone. Kimmy keeps her sane and happy. She is the best caricature of rich, suburban, wino mom that there is on TV right now.

Finally, the star of the show. TITUS ANDROMEDON.


Titus is the true star of the show (I'm sorry Kimmy, I love you, but Titus will always have my heart). From his iconic music video, "Pinot Noir," to any of his musical acts in season two, Titus steals the show. He is sassy. He is fabulous. He may be a little rude to his ex-wife, but he is flawless.

He never fails to keep Kimmy in line and help her when she just doesn't understand anything. Together, he and Jacqueline succeed in reintroducing Kimmy to the world. Style guru, musical genius, wordsmith. Titus. Is. Goals.

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.
