Let’s be honest, we all have a little bit of Nick Miller in us. Maybe it’s your budgeting problems, distrust of fish or your capability of moonwalking away from awkward situations. Either way, Nick Miller has something to teach us in every area of Life and here are just a couple.

1. Sometimes Life doesn’t turn out the way you planned and you need to take some time by yourself to figure out where you’re at.

It's okay to be alone every once in a while, healthy even. It helps you realize who you want to be.

2. It's okay to ask for help when you're in a tight spot.That’s what your friends are for.

True friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient. It's about being there when it's not.

3. Have a good time and enjoy the moment.

You don't get the same moment in life twice so make sure you enjoy it to the full extent.

4. It's okay to cry. Breakups are hard (Caroline wasn’t worthy of Nick anyway)



Just because it hurts. Just because it's really painful, doesn't mean that its not the best thing for you in the long run.

5. Exercising is much more fun to do around friends.


Put on some old Hannah Montana songs or the JoBros and start moving. You'll feel better in the long run and you'll make memories while you kiss those extra calories goodbye.

6. Don’t be too hard on yourself.


Stop beating yourself up. Life is confusing, and anyone who claims that they have all the answers has probably all the wrong ones.

7. Money is hard to come by so make sure you stick to your budget.


Money is the worst, but unfortunately, we need it to function in life. Even if you choose to use a brown paper bag instead of bank to store it in, make sure you manage it the best you can.

8. Always treat your girl right and tell her how you feel.


You might think she wants your car, your money, and your gifts. But the right woman wants your time, your honesty, your effort and you choose to put her as a priority..... as well as an occasional french fry from your plate.

9.Don’t let anyone ever stop you from being your strangely weird self.

Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. And remember to always break for birds and rock a lot of polka dots when you get the chance.

10.Be proud of your accomplishments …. even if it's writing the first paragraph of your zombie novel.

Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take to reaching that goal.

11.People are sometimes the worst and it's okay to be angry with the world every once in a while .. everyone can understand that.



Sometimes you need to be angry... just don't stay angry.

12. Be a supportive friend, and know when they need to see you dance terribly to make them smile.



Act goofy. Be silly. Put a bike helmet on your head, do the chicken dance in slow motion. If it puts a smile on your friend's face, it's totally worth the occasional embarrassment.

13. Never be afraid to work Disney song lyrics into a normal conversation.

Let me share a whole new woooooooorld .... with you

14. Be confident in your beliefs.




Even if your beliefs are ridiculous, they are what make you who you are as person.

16. Always Look on the bright side of things.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong. Focus on what can go right. Look for the positives and always look for the best in every situation.

17. Eating healthy is always hard but keep trying.



My mind says you're not actually hungry... but my heart says eat another potsticker

18. Find your person.


How often do you find a person who puts up with your bad habits, puts up with your crap, and can still say they like you at the end of the day? Hold on to those weirdos the best you can.

19. Always be your most authentic self.



Life is not a competition. Be you. Don't try to be someone else.

20. And realize how far you’ve come.


One day it just clicks. You realize what's important and what isn't. You learn to care less about what other people think about you and more you think about yourself. You realize how far you've come and you remember when you thought things were a mess and that you'd never recover. And then you smile. You smile because you are truly proud of yourself and person you've fought to become.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
