Why its OK to be Nick Miller from 'New Girl'
Theresa Niemczyk

I always thought I was Jess Day from New Girl. I thought I was this cute quirky girl who was just getting by in my cute little awkward life but sadly I was wrong. Turns out I’m not cute and quirky but old and grouchy. So in other terms I am Nick Miller.

I thought that since I rock a lot of polka dots that I was cute. I also rock a lot of sweat pants which is not so cute and rocking them is probably not the correct term. I have been known to wear my nice sweat pants when told to dress up. On the other side of that I have been known to go way over board and wear an old prom dress to prove my point that I do dress up.

I have touched glitter within the past 24 hours but granted most of my makeup is comprised of glitter. I am not sure how to find make up without glitter but I am sure it is out there somewhere. Although somewhere I cannot seem to find. It’s too much work to find different make so I’m just going to stick with what I have. Sweat pants and glitter are combination that I seem to wear a lot.

I’m not the kind of person who gets upset over the small stuff. I do not cry over the commercials of homeless dogs. I know that admitting that out loud makes me seem like a monster but here me out. I get it those dogs have it bad but I also have it bad because I have my own problems and no one is making commercials to help me out. I take good things and make them bad. I have been turning lemonade into lemons since 1996. It is a skill of mine to take things that are already going pretty good in my life and make them into something less desirable. I don’t do it on purpose but I do it.

I thought it was bad to be Nick Miller but I have really embraced it. I have learned to fix things myself. Probably not the way they should be fixed but close enough. Where is the fun in fixing something forever? Part of the fun is seeing how long it will hold and coming up with the next idea to fix it. I like not caring what others think about me. I going to be me and if you do not like it, deal with it. As Weezer wuld say “if you don't like it, you can shove it. But you don't like it, you love it”. That is me, if you do not like who I am I do not care but admit it you like how crazy I am.

I take my job serious enough. I do my work and I do it well or at least well enough that I do not think I am going to be fired soon. I do keep my energy there light and airy to make it more fun. Working is a little like prison. You do the crime of spending money and then you do the time of working.

Here is the thing though. I am the person who is always there. Which is fine because you know where to find me. And that is why I am Nick Miller

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.
