8 Times We Could All Relate to Liz Lemon From '30 Rock'

"Yes, may I please speak to pizza?"

On October 1, 2017, a true tragedy befell Netflix users everywhere. The hilarious NBC sitcom "30 Rock" was removed from the streaming service. Created by Tina Fey and inspired by her time as a writer for Saturday Night Live, "30 Rock" follows the life of quirky television writer, Liz Lemon (played by Fey herself).

The removal of the show from Netflix was truly devastating, but that doesn't change the fact that Liz Lemon's character is super relatable. Here are just a few times when Liz's reactions were completely applicable to our lives.

1. When your friends are all posting about their spring breaks and you're still in school.

While you're dealing with your midterms and piles of homework, all of your friends at different schools have already gone home or on some super awesome getaway for their spring break so you're forced to live vicariously through their Instagram posts and neverending Snap stories.

2. When you finally get money and can stop eating Ramen for every meal.

You can only eat Cup Noodles so many times before you actually need to consume real food. Getting some extra cash from your parents or a long-awaited paycheck is always good for times like this.

3. When you don't know how to speak on the phone like a normal adult.

Whether you have to call your doctor or your bank, sometimes adulting can be intimidating and the pressure to sound like you know what you're doing gets to be too much. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it! Eventually.

4. When you get through a really tough day.

We've all had those super tough days where we're not quite sure how we're going to get through it alive. But we always do, and that's worth celebrating.

5. When you have a test on a Saturday.

Having to go sit in a lecture hall and take an exam is unpleasant most every time, but it's especially horrible when it's during the weekend when you'd rather be sleeping or doing something fun and not school related.

6. When you finally talk to a guy who isn't a total f*ckboy.

In college, decent men can prove to be surprisingly elusive. When you finally find someone who's nice and isn't trying to waste your time, it's most definitely a success.

7. When PMS cravings hit.

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

8. When your favorite show gets removed from Netflix.

So even though we can't stream the genius of "30 Rock" on Netflix anymore, we can all agree that Liz Lemon is, and always will, be awkward, iconic, and super relatable.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
