Dear reader,

This article is about Winston. I know I'm a history major, but I'm not talking about Winston Churchill. I'm talking about a much more important Winston. Winston from New Girl. No, not Winston Schmidt. Winston Bishop, the often forgotten, but my favorite character on New Girl.

I am so sorry for your classic Winston prank, but there is nothing wrong with the character Winston Bishop or the actor that plays him.

Not only does Winston deserve his own show for the amount of pure life he brings that show, but he along the way also teaches us how to be a friend. Here's how:

1. He is a pure child 

One of the best things about Winston is that he is always willing to be a kid. When it comes to pranks or any other way to get involved, Winston is there to make you remember not to take life too seriously. Now does he go above and beyond expectations to the point of endangerment and ruining a certain wedding? Yes. But he never puts his ego first and is always ready for a game, puzzle, and new life adventure.

2. He doesn't care what others think

Winston is the kind of friend you can be yourself and party with.

3. He is compassionate 

I think we all can learn a thing or to for Winston's pure love for the true queen of the show, Ferguson, Winston's cat.

4. He shows up

We all should be a friend who is willing to show up and go the extra mile for his friends.

5. He keeps his friends accountable 

Winston is always there to tell the truth about any crap that's happening in their friend group.

6. He is willing to be the minor character 

What really stands out about Winston is his ability to care for others.

We live in a world of performance, and to do this we assume that we all singularly are the center of own universes. But Winston is different. He listens to others, helps them out before he asks for anything in return, and constantly forgives his friends when they leave him somewhere in their "more important" romantic moments. He helps others achieves their goals, supports them on their journeys, and is there for any pranks along the way.

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.
