5 Tina Fey Quotes to Live By
wennermedia

This weekend I finally I got the chance to watch "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" starring the very talented Tina Fey. While it was a more serious role for her, it reminded me of just how wonderful she is. I first became a fan during "30 Rock" as she played the comedy writer Liz Lemon, and have since watched her movies and reoccurring roles on "Saturday Night Live." Tina is absolutely hilarious and a great role model. Not to mention, she and Amy Poehler are friend goals on and off the screen.

A few years ago she wrote a book called "Bossy Pants." Along with telling her life story and making it in a male dominated field, she gave some advice that we all could use. The book is full of anecdotes that will make you laugh until you cry. She tells the truth of the hard work it takes to succeed in your career. These 5 quotes are true Tina Fey, and words to follow.

“Some people say, 'Never let them see you cry.' I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.”

Sometimes you need to show your emotions. It can make you a stronger person and prevent you from going insane. You can’t keep everything bottled up.

“If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty, which is: who cares?”

Tina Fey is a great role model for women. You should be the best version of yourself. This doesn’t mean trying to abide to a bunch of impossible standards, but that you are happy with the real you. Embrace your differences.

“Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles.”

Problems will come up in school and your professional life. You have to be able to approach things proactively. Think creatively to create solutions. We get nowhere when we only look at the negatives.

“Confidence is 10% hard work and 90% delusion.”

Tina Fey didn’t get where she is today by being shy. She made it in to the comedy business, which is still male dominated. She embraces her quirks and lets it give her confidence in the roles she plays. We might not always be confident, but we need to try our best to continue to pursue our dreams anyway.

“Say yes and you'll figure it out afterwards.”

We will be offered a lot of opportunities in our lives. Sometimes, you just need to say yes immediately. While it is important to think, you don’t want to miss out on great experiences. Do whatever is necessary to make your goals a reality.

For more Tina Fey inspiration check out her book, or her social media, or her movies. Basically everything she says is gold.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
