If you watch New Girl, you know Nick Miller. The grumpy, lazy, former law student-turned-bartender has many levels to him that we all have come to love. He has this tough exterior, but a hidden sensitive side. Not to mention his awkwardness and weirdness that we all can relate to. He has come to become my favorite character on TV because of these things and his ability to keep us laughing throughout the show. Here are some particularly relatable Nick Miller moments.

Nick seems like a bit of a mess. But a funny, cute mess that we all can relate to. We all have some of his weirdness in us. He teaches us that we don't have to have everything together to function, though we all should want to be a little more put together than Nick by the time we are thirty. Thanks Nick Miller for the laughs, the relat-ability and the lessons learned.
