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.

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.
