It's a woman's dating Bible.

Carrie Bradshaw’s authentically kittenish dialogue in the award-winning TV show "Sex And The City" serves as not only a narrative of the show’s storyline but a guideline of romance for the audience. Bradshaw reveals the ups and downs regarding dating, friendships, and the unpredictable events life hands us through the spontaneity, drama, and life lessons she and her friends experience throughout the show.

While Carrie and her best friends, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda, all seek their individual romantic paths on their journeys to find love in the Big Apple, they are faced with many (and I mean many) romantic adversities that we can all relate to on a spiritual level.


When dealing with the drama that comes along with our quests to find “the one,” sometimes we lose sight of how to navigate our way through the dating life and tend to become the psychotic, boy crazy women we claim we never will become.

However, "Sex And The City" reminds us that as women, it is our nature to freak out over an unanswered call, or in today’s generation, an answered Snap and that it is acceptable to be crazy (in some circumstances).

Every Sex And The City fan can say she (or he) has four additional best friends: Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte. The characters in the series are not only relatable, but they are honest and touchingly real as they undergo the struggles almost every woman faces at one point in her life. You literally feel as if you are sitting with your girlfriends yourself when you turn on the show.

One of the most genuine aspects of this series is the raw conversations between the women regarding their sex lives. "Sex And The City" aired between 1998 and 2004, a time before today’s pivotal gender equality movements and especially a time when society placed such a restrictive idea of how women should act.

However, "Sex And The City" is simply iconic for saying "fuck it" to society’s ladylike expectations for women, revealing the conversations women actually have behind closed doors. Surprise, boys, you aren’t the only ones who talk about your sex lives.


Overall, this show is undoubtedly not only a woman’s guilty pleasure, but a safe haven, judgement-free zone, and lifestyle guide to tackle romance. "Sex And The City" puts women's sexual shame to rest and invigorates female sexuality, independence, and confidence. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you start binge-watching now.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
