Going Home For The Holidays As Told By Nick Miller

Nick Miller from "New Girl" is one of the most relatable characters out there. Sometimes, so relatable it hurts. And now that finals are wrapping up, it’s time to leave campus and go home for the holidays, which means it’s time to binge watch your favorite shows (and maybe some new ones) in between sleeping and spending time with friends and family. So here I’ve compiled ten of my favorite Nick Miller moments that predict what being back home will be like.

Your immediate response after turning in your last final:

Talking to relatives and trying to explain all the work you did during finals:

When people ask you what your plans for the break are:

When you listen to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” one too many times:

Making your to-do list for the holiday season:

When you get home and immediately stuff your face with five pounds of food:

When you put on real clothes for the first time since Thanksgiving and are really feeling yourself:

When you drive past your old high school, and reflect on how much better things have gotten:

Thinking about how you’re going to work out at home, without a gym, surrounded by delicious holiday foods:

Going shopping for holiday gifts and regretting it immediately because:

Whatever your plans for this winter break, here’s hoping you get a chance to relax and have some fun. Whether that means traveling, sleeping for days, or spending too much time with your family, may your holidays be merry and bright. And above all, may your gift shopping experiences be quick and painless; besides, it’s important to remember that experiences matter more than things. And here’s to another year of Nick Miller being all of our spirit animals.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself?

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
