5 Reasons You Need To Watch 'Broad City'
i.ytimg.com

IMDb describes Comedy Central's "Broad City" as a show that, "follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City, making the smallest and mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch all at the same time." The show stars real-life best friends Abbi Abrams and Ilana Wexler as exaggerated versions of their selves. You immediately fall in love with their characters and their ridiculous adventures. Here's why you need to binge watch this.

1. We are all Abbi Jacobson.

She's crazy awkward. She gets nervous around her hot neighbor. She's always doing the worst tasks at her job as a "cleaner" at a Soul Cycle-type gym. She has one token dress that makes her feel like a million bucks. Everything she does always just goes horribly wrong. Sound familiar? Also, she loves Bed Bath Beyond as much as us.


2. We wish we had Ilana Glazer's confidence.

While we're all a ~work in progress~ Ilana struts it like she knows she's worth it, because you know what? She really is. She exudes girl power from every pore of her body and we all need to channel her a little bit more. She also has the best bralettes.


3. We want these girls to thank for "YAASS QUEEN!"

Yup, you read that right. These girls are the reason our favorite phrase of 2016 is our favorite phrase. Whether it's reassuring Abbi that she looks bangin' in her favorite blue dress or helping teach a privileged young child how she lives, Ilana is always pulling this line out.


4. They're modern-day feminists.

They are simply badass 21st century broads (see what I did there). We can look up to them for always standing up for what they believe in and calling out what they think isn't right.


5. They are friendship goals.

They love each other so much and would do anything for one another. What more can a girl ask for? They remind us not to take ourselves too seriously, always be honest with our friends and to just roll with the punches.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
