10 Reasons 'The Carrie Diaries' Needs A Reboot, ASAP

I did not expect to love this series as much as the original, but boy, was I wrong.

In This Article:

Last summer I began watching "The Carrie Diaries." As a long time "Sex and the City" fan, I did not expect to love this series as much as the original, but boy, was I wrong. I assume some of it had to do with the characters being closer in age to me, or the very attractive male love interests, but I was deeply saddened to hear it was only two seasons. I, like many other fans of the show, are still waiting for it to be picked back up again, and even though it seems unlikely, plenty of shows have been rebooted lately, and I think this should definitely be one of them.

1. That ending was not enough

I think we all knew Carrie wasn't going to end up with Sebastian because she moves onto other men in "Sex and the City," but that ending was not good enough. I need to know how little baby Carrie meets little baby Miranda and little baby Charlotte and how America's favorite brunch group came to be.

2. We need more Austin Butler in our lives

Or as my boyfriend calls him, "that sexy, sexy man."

3. We need to know what happened to Walt and Bennett

I loved everything about Walt's storyline and his path to self-discovery, and Bennett is always so supportive of Walt as he was figuring out who he really is. I really want to know what happens to them and if they will be together down the line.

4. I am dying to know how Samantha became the Samantha we know and love on "Sex and the City"

I feel like we barely got any background on Samantha, apart from her working in a bar and being Donna's cousin. I still have no idea how she went from being a bartender to flying all over the country drinking cosmos in the span of about 10 years.

5. We need more Larissa

I would kill to have Larissa's confidence. She has some of the best lines in the entire show and I need to have more of her in my life.

6. What happened to Dorrit?

She's never mentioned in "Sex and the City," I didn't even know Carrie had a sister before watching "The Carrie Diaries." Whatever happened to the baby sister who wore a bit too much eye makeup?

7. The wisdom that came out of this 16-year-old

"The Carrie Diaries" had a quote for every situation that a teenager could find themselves in, and handled every situation with grace, something a lot of teen shows are lacking now.

8. The drama

So many love interests in two short seasons, who knows how many a third would bring?

9. The 80s throwback

I mean, just look at the outfits.

10. The love

Besides all of the romance, there was so much friend-love in this show and family moments that you don't really see anymore on television.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
