8 Times We Could All Relate to Liz Lemon From '30 Rock'

On October 1, 2017, a true tragedy befell Netflix users everywhere. The hilarious NBC sitcom "30 Rock" was removed from the streaming service. Created by Tina Fey and inspired by her time as a writer for Saturday Night Live, "30 Rock" follows the life of quirky television writer, Liz Lemon (played by Fey herself).

The removal of the show from Netflix was truly devastating, but that doesn't change the fact that Liz Lemon's character is super relatable. Here are just a few times when Liz's reactions were completely applicable to our lives.

1. When your friends are all posting about their spring breaks and you're still in school.

While you're dealing with your midterms and piles of homework, all of your friends at different schools have already gone home or on some super awesome getaway for their spring break so you're forced to live vicariously through their Instagram posts and neverending Snap stories.

2. When you finally get money and can stop eating Ramen for every meal.

You can only eat Cup Noodles so many times before you actually need to consume real food. Getting some extra cash from your parents or a long-awaited paycheck is always good for times like this.

3. When you don't know how to speak on the phone like a normal adult.

Whether you have to call your doctor or your bank, sometimes adulting can be intimidating and the pressure to sound like you know what you're doing gets to be too much. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it! Eventually.

4. When you get through a really tough day.

We've all had those super tough days where we're not quite sure how we're going to get through it alive. But we always do, and that's worth celebrating.

5. When you have a test on a Saturday.

Having to go sit in a lecture hall and take an exam is unpleasant most every time, but it's especially horrible when it's during the weekend when you'd rather be sleeping or doing something fun and not school related.

6. When you finally talk to a guy who isn't a total f*ckboy.

In college, decent men can prove to be surprisingly elusive. When you finally find someone who's nice and isn't trying to waste your time, it's most definitely a success.

7. When PMS cravings hit.

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

8. When your favorite show gets removed from Netflix.

AKA an actual image of me when I found out "30 Rock" was being removed.

So even though we can't stream the genius of "30 Rock" on Netflix anymore, we can all agree that Liz Lemon is, and always will, be awkward, iconic, and super relatable.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
