New Girl fans should expect to see Nick starting to make some changes and they might surprise you!

Nick is known as the lazy and quite poor roommate on the hit show New Girl but that might be changing. He used to be a successful law student until a breakup with his ex-girlfriend Caroline messed him up so bad he dropped out to become a bartender. We’ve seen just how that’s screwed him up – not even being able to afford a cell phone or health insurance. According to Jake Johnson his character is beginning to get sick of the life he’s created for himself.

When talking to TV Fanatic Johnson revealed that as Nick begins to develop a relationship that’s more than just friends with Jess he gets tired of being the same old person. Teasing, “You get to see a different side of him with Jess.”

He added that Nick is still at a point in his life where he’s spiraling but is beginning to realize the mistakes he’s making. “Whatever made him drop out of law school and when Caroline dumped him… I think he’s got to start making those corrections and those are the corrections that make him an adult, but he hasn’t made them yet,” Johnson explained. Along with changes Nick will be making, Jess will be growing along with him.

What changes would you like to see Nick change? Or do you like him just the way he is?
