Schmidt Happens

There's nothing in life that's more satisfying than when you finally feel like someone understands you. Lucky for me, I finally found my people: and they're fictional.

FOXs, New Girl, really just gets me, and is the most direct trajectory of what my life will end up like, almost a 100% guarantee. I can see myself in a few years interviewing to live in a loft with three randoms, and being completely awkward about it, yet loving it.

Honestly, their loft is super slick and I'd totally be down to be the illegal 5th roommate of loft 4D with those hooligans and put up with the creepy landlord.

For some reason I just can't get enough of this show. The dynamics and chemistry this cast has are absolutely flawless, and full of spark and spunk and stupid Schmidt commentary. This show is quite possibly the best thing that's ever happened in my life, because it finally makes me feel like I'm not the weirdest kid on the block (or at least the Schmidtist).

There's something reassuring about this show that correlates so spot on with my life, mostly because nothing every quite romantically works out for Jess, Schmidt, Nick, or Winston. It's as if they each fall in love (or lust...Schmidt) multiple times within the few seasons, and each time they think they've finally found the one and then someone messes up and they're all at square one all over again, sitting on the couch all snuggled up together in their misery of break-ups. It makes you feel like you just wanna squeeze right in there, and brew a cup of coffee and sulk with all of your roommates/besties about their miserable lives (ahh...comfort at it's finest).

It's shows like New Girl that really rock, you know? They just rock, and they're cool, and edgy and totally hipster, and allow you to really create these unhealthy pseudo-realtionships with these fictional characters. Then it just seeps into your blood stream and possesses you to the point that New Girl is the only thing you can talk about when engaging in actual real-life conversations. Sorry, if you've ever hear me squeal, crack-up, or reminisce about my problem of binge watching this glorious and fabulously hilarious show.

In short: If you don't watch New Girl, you're life is a sham. GO YOUTHS!

Time to Change.

You know what's strange about society? We're so quick to point out the flaws of others, but avidly avoid publically admitting any flaws of our own. We post pictures and edit them with filters and angles and clothing designed to make us appear the way we want to be perceived...with the hopes that society won't notice what we're trying to hide underneath it all. But you know what I'm sick of? Hiding. Ever since I was a young chickadee, I've always felt the need to hide something. From my kindergarten crush laughing at me on the playground, or my 6th grade crush who told me I was fat and ugly, I've always been confident in my personality, just not so much in my appearance. I was constantly dressing like a boy, wearing oversized clothes, anything to detract attention to my figure or my body. By the time I hit 8th grade, all of a sudden I couldn't keep weight on. After years of being chubby and "unattractive", I didn't know what was happenin...

Why we can learn from our dogs.

Beyoncé once asked, "Who run the world?", and she then answered for all of us when she obviously said, "Girls"...I mean it's true, we (as a collective gender) gave birth to the world. However, I think Queen Bey forgot something very important when it comes to people, and those who rule it--it would be impossible to run anything if you didn't have (hu)man's best friend by your side. Not only do dogs selflessly provide us with something to pet and keep us warm at night, but they provide us with undeniable and unrelenting love and affection. It would be pretty lonely ruling the world without a dog there to put a little pep into your step. It seems silly, really, that dogs don't get any credit for making the world a better place. It also seems silly that I'm even thinking about dogs ruling the world (hey, that's not a horrible idea). But I think there's some value into considering that while humans can change a dogs life, it's just as...

Amster...dam(n), that was fun.

I have recently found myself double checking my memories- making sure things really happened, that I actually did the things I think I did, and saw the things I swear I saw, because with all this adventure going on in my life nothing seems real any more; like it's one big dream that I don't want to wake up from. It's a good thing I always carry my Nikon around with me to back up my illusive memories- for proof that my life is actually as exciting as my thoughts tend to illustrate. For the past two days, I found myself in Amsterdam . The best part is, I was able to explore the fascinating place with my friends who flew in from Rome, Florence and London. It was such a glorious feeling to have Katie in my arms, to chow down with Lindsay and Maria, and to do stupid things with Mallory and Heidi- all while being in a foreign (seriously, so foreign) land. Before I landed in the city of canals, I knew very little about it. I suppose research would have been a standard idea, bu...
