10 Reasons Why 'The Carrie Diaries' Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled
Broadsheet

The "Sex and the City" spin-off TV series "The Carrie Diaries" was based on "The Carrie Diaries" books by Candace Bushnell. The TV series brought the book to life as it dove into the past of one TV's favorite female icons, Carrie Bradshaw.

Giving viewers a blast to the past, you see teenage Carrie Bradshaw glammed out in full 80's fashion as she balances school and her first glimpse of life in New York. Though many fell in love with the TV show, The Carrie Diaries was canceled at the end of its second season. Here are 10 reasons why young Carrie Bradshaw should still be strutting down New York on our TV screens.

1. The show was enjoyable for all ages

Adults and teens were able to enjoy this show together. Carrie may have been a teenager, but she carried herself as an adult.

2. Carrie was a positive role model for teenage girls

As all teenagers do, Carrie did get into her fair share of trouble, but overall, she was a just fashionable young woman working hard and pursuing what she wanted out of life.

3. The series was just plain cute

Coming of age, friendship, romance -- it was all just cute and you know it.

4. 80's fashion

I cried every time I looked at Carrie's outfits. They were so amazing.

5. It brought mothers and daughters together

"Sex and the City" fans that were also mothers were able to sit with their daughters as they began their own Carrie Bradshaw journey.

6. It dealt with real problems

The show tackled major real-world issues -- the life of a single parent, the loss of a parent, homosexuality, and coming of age, just to name a few.

7. Carrie was inspirational

Carrie saw what she wanted and she went for it. She displayed her style, writing, attitude, motivation, strength and power for all of her fans to see and learn from.

8. Sebastian Kydd was so HOT

This needs no explanation. Look at him.

9. It showed the life of a single dad

Most commonly, we see the world of a single mother, but this show was inside the world of a single father with two teenage daughters.

10. It made it easy for girls to dream big

I have always said that my life goal is to grow up and be Carrie Bradshaw. If she can do it, fans felt like we could too.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
