An Ode to Liz Lemon

The final episode of one of the best shows on television is coming in just two days. Two more days before my world will be left empty without the beautiful quirks of Liz Lemon and the TGS crew. It's a sad day, yes, but I'd like to take this time and look back at some of my favorite highlights these past 7 years and remember just how good we've had it.

We'll start right from the top with one of my favorite moments from Season 1. We see here just how brilliant Lemon is with comebacks as she slams some stranger on the phone. Highlight #1: They're From Your Mom 

Season 2 was just as good as the first and--dare I say--it got even better. This next clip is one that I think really captures the passion that Liz Lemon possesses. Highlight #2: Sandwich Day. 

Lemon gets down every now and then throughout the show, but my favorite dance sequence she does is in Season 3. Highlight #3: Flu Shot.

I'm gonna go ahead and do another one from Season 3 because it's waayyyy too good to pass up. Highlight #4: Dark Secrets.

Alright, back on track with seasons. This next one is definitely one of my favorite Liz quotes in Season 4. Highlight #5: Liz Lemon Party: Mandatory.

This is one of the moments from Season 5 that always makes me laugh no matter how many times I've already watched it. Highlight #6: The World's Worst Hooker. Side note: I'd definitely take her home.

Season 6 is where Liz's hunger for a baby really shines. Highlight #7: Liz and Planty 4evr

And finally we'll end with the weirdest and most uncomfortable moments in 30 Rock's history from this season. Highlight #8: Sexy Office Supplies.

Oh Liz Lemon...I'm going to miss you. Thursday's episode will be bittersweet. Thank you for 7 of the best years of my life. Please bless the brilliant mind of Tina Fey with health and happiness. 

Resolutions and Adulthood

I know the New Year celebrations came and went and that talking about resolutions is old news, but I'd just like to announce that this year I'm actually going to finish mine. Granted I only made one actual resolution, but I found out today that it's actually going to happen. How do I know you ask? Two words: Psychic Hotline. The lady I talked to seemed pretty credible; said she'd been doing this for 30 years so I'm trusting her on this one. Haha nah I'm just kidding. Can you imagine? What really happened is I met with my advisor here on campus about how on track I am for graduating and what would happen if I took a summer semester, and guess what I found out? I'M GRADUATING IN DECEMBER!!! I thought I was going to have to wait until next May, but nope. Graduation is a measly 11 months away. By the skin of my teeth I'm actually going to reach my goal to graduate before 2013 ends.

Excitement abounds!!

Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about finally graduating, but with my 21st birthday right around the corner and graduation more in reach than ever, real adulthood is coming way faster than I anticipated, so if any of you would like to suggest something for me to do after I'm done making school my life I'd greatly appreciate it. Who knows, maybe I'll prolong my life as a lowly student and shoot for a Master's instead of jumping into the real world with a real job and real responsibilities. Heck I'm only 21 (it's two days away. I'm counting it). Two or three more years of school wouldn't hurt me too bad right? Side note: if any of you would like to donate to my cause of becoming a real adult I prefer cash and checks, however I do take Visa.

Phresh

In case you've somehow gotten lucky and missed all the posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram about how the new semester of school has started up and such, I'll go ahead and do the honors of telling you in the most annoying yet college-esque way I can think up. Ready?

OMG!! First day of new classes!!!! Wish me luck! :) Sooooo excited for this semester!!! #college #usu #firstdayjitters #newschooloutfit <3 <3 

Oh man. I even find myself annoying. I think I nailed it though. But really, my new semester has started and can I say I'm so thankful for the chance I have to go to school and learn?! I can't imagine how my life would be if I didn't have the means or opportunity to do what I'm doing now. And although the life of a poor college student can be pretty unglamorous and at times pretty sketchy (you aren't a real student if you don't risk eating expired food every now and then or live in a shady apartment complex at least once), there is no way I'd go back to being a bratty high school student living in my parents' basement. I'm living, I'm learning, I'm having the time of my life. Who could ask for more? This life is phresh.
