There is no role model quite as brutally honest as she is. For seven years, Tina Fey portrayed the sweet curmudgeon that was that Liz Lemon. Somewhere in that time, she weaseled her way into my heart and quickly become one of my favorite characters on TV. Here are a couple reasons why she should be one of yours too.

1. When she taught us how to eat a cupcake properly

2. When she discovered her true calling

3. When she asked the toughed questions

4. When she showed us all how to properly coddle the distraught

5. When she nailed the whole "seduction" thing

6. When she called out some of our more artistic tendencies

7. When she perfectly described how it feels living under pressure

8. When she and Jack gave us all friendship goals

9. When she asked for a little help from a higher power

10. When she demonstrated proper eye-roll technique

Thanks, Liz.
