Nine Reasons Jessica Day Is My Spirit Animal

Jessica Day from Fox's "New Girl" is one of my favorite TV characters of all time. Although she's fictional, she's heavily influenced by Zooey Deschanel, the actress who plays her. She's quirky, fun, honest and totally relatable. Here are nine reasons why she is my spirit animal.

1. She knows it's okay to be weird.

Jess knows she's...a little out there, but she is happy with herself! She encourages her friends to embrace their weirdness as well.

2. She's in touch with her feelings.

Jess is definitely a sensitive person. She knows it's important to be in touch with your emotions instead of letting them bottle up inside. I mean, who wouldn't cry if they saw a picture of a puppy in a cup?

3. She cares about her friends more than anything.

Jess is a great friend because she would do absolutely anything for the people she loves. Everything from pep-talks, to hiding what she thought was crystal meth in her bra. She just wants to see her friends happy, and will stop at nothing until it happens.

4. She's open-minded.

Jess always looks for the best in people. She'll never judge someone until she knows them. She gives everyone a chance and is nice to just about everyone. She can even convince a man with a gun to give up his parking spot.

5. She puts others before herself.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F18%2F635939322498588673-816896326_giphy%25204.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=875&h=046819f2cc444ba5062ef99eac5fc306999f2ab8e83b1922729701ba67709534&size=980x&c=3318761764 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F18%252F635939322498588673-816896326_giphy%2525204.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D875%26h%3D046819f2cc444ba5062ef99eac5fc306999f2ab8e83b1922729701ba67709534%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3318761764%22%7D" expand=1]

Whether it's her friends, her students, or someone she's just met, Jess always puts the feelings of others before her own.

6. She's a bit out dated.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F18%2F635939333583400155-1212100386_giphy%25206.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=673&h=1759f12fe5e25063f8a93ed60f5ec00da50062c8eee894849e667818ea4598cf&size=980x&c=2802405575 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F18%252F635939333583400155-1212100386_giphy%2525206.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D673%26h%3D1759f12fe5e25063f8a93ed60f5ec00da50062c8eee894849e667818ea4598cf%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2802405575%22%7D" expand=1]

Jess is a bit of an old soul and is not quite in touch with the most popular things happening in the world today. But that just makes her even more adorable and relatable.

7. She believes in herself.

She knows people sometimes don't take her seriously because she likes to craft or has an obsession with baby animals, but Jess never lets other people's opinions get to her. She believes in herself and that is the most important thing.

8. She has some really cute clothes.

Jess wears a lot of sweaters, high waisted skirts, and vintage-inspired dresses. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a lot of outfits like hers. She loves to wear polka-dots, which happens to be my favorite print. Not to mention, we both rock the glasses and bangs.

9. She's not afraid to be herself.

Jess is adorably quirky, out-going, and sings to herself a lot. Even though some people don't like her style, she would never change a thing about herself. We should all be a little more like Jess.

We Need More Than Memorials this Memorial Day
Cape Cod Irish

When I was a child, I used to look forward to Memorial Day Weekend from the time I returned to school after Christmas vacation. It was the yearly benchmark announcing the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. It meant I was one step closer to regattas, swim meets and tennis matches.
