Monday:
Mondays are the worst. They are the equivalent of Toby Flenderson. In a little spin-off of a Michael Scott quote: If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Mondays, I would shoot Monday twice.
Tuesday:
Tuesday? Don't you mean Snoozeday? Come on, it's too early in the week to get any work done. We're still trying to cope with the fact that yesterday was Monday.
Wednesday:
Wednesday is hump day. Hump day means it's halfway through the week and two days from Friday. The weekend is great if you have an office job because you have no work for two days straight! If you can make it through Wednesday, you can make it through anything. Just take on Michael Scott's optimistic attitude about life even when times are rough and you'll be fine.
Thursday:
Once Wednesday is over, you come to the realization that you have to survive one more day. And if you're like Stanley Hudson, you're typically a pessimist. So that last full day before Friday might just feel terrible to you.
FRIDAY!!!
This is the day you've been looking forward to all week. You never thought you'd make it, but here you are, Friday at 5 pm! It's like that season in the show when Andy was the manager and played "Closing Time" at the end of each day. Friday is literally "Closing Time!" Stanley knows what's up. So congrats, you made it through the work week--now go enjoy your weekend.

The Worst Person in the World (2021)
I watched "The Worst Person in the World" in the theaters the first time and loved it, but it was the second time that left me ugly crying and really doing some self-reflecting. I realized about halfway through the film that I am Julie. We are the same person. Both are the worst people in the world. And for the exact same reasons, I won't give it away, because you have to see this movie if you haven't yet. God, it's good. I haven't been able to stop talking about it. The self-destruction, the inability to stick with anything, the throwing away good things for something that just feels good in the moment, it all just hits too close.
The School of Rock (2003)
Somehow I have talked to multiple people recently that have never seen this movie?? It's quite perplexing. Jack Black is a complete force, that gift he has is on the highest pedestal here in "School of Rock." The young cast plus the addition of Joan Cusack and killer musical numbers make for a stellar film. I still sing "Rock Got No Reason" all the time.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
I did say this list is in no particular order, but these top three movies could easily all switch out as number one. Based on the story alone, "Good Will Hunting" is THE best movie of all time. Matt Damon and Robin Williams sharing the screen created a chemistry that is unlike anything else I have seen. I cried for the last thirty minutes uninterrupted.
And that ending scene? KILLED ME. The best payoff ever.
Tommy Boy (1995)
Chris Farley is the funniest person to have ever existed. It's as simple as that. When you put him on screen he just came alive, and buddied up with David Spade? There is just nothing like the two of them together. "Tommy Boy" is the first movie I have memories watching, when I was a toddler I wouldn't go to sleep without it on. It still is a movie I watch at least once a week.
Spanglish (2004)
"Uncut Gems" is great, "Punch Drunk Love" is stellar, but Adam Sandler's best movie is "Spanglish." If you haven't seen it, I am so sorry, please show yourself some self-love and go watch ASAP. One of my favorite rom-coms to ever grace my screen.
The Holiday (2006)
My question to you all that have seen "The Holiday," is there a scenario where you watch and don't fall in love with all four of the main characters? Because I was unable to escape without doing so. Especially when it comes to Jude Law. If a perfect man exists it's his character in this film.
Also, if anyone wants to switch houses and happens to live in the cutest town in the UK, I am available.
Practical Magic (1998)
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman sharing the screen in "Practical Magic" is a blessing to everyone. I found this movie a few years ago and have been obsessed every sense. Anything where I get to see badass women take out a shitty man is a big yes from me!
Harry Potter ( Collective) (2001-2011)
I get emotional even trying to put into words what the "Harry Potter" world has meant to me over my lifetime. These movies have been the biggest safety blanket for me. I have seen the series all the way through at least a few hundred times, if not more. They are just such stellar movies and perfectly cast. Some of the greatest actors and actresses graced those films.
To be transparent, I do not condone or agree in any way shape or form with a single thing J.K Rowling has said and think she is a joke. The movies have been a part of my life since I was four, so I'll always love them and be grateful for what they've given me.
Booksmart (2019)
Not only is "Booksmart" the greatest coming of age movie, but it also holds its own with the greatest modern comedies. Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein are actresses that are completely taking over the industry, and all the reasons why are showcased beautifully right here in "Booksmart." I could watch this movie on a never-ending loop and just keep finding new things I love.
The Godfather (1972)
This is about as "film bro" Esque as my list is going to get, but hey, I can't help what a spectacular film "The Godfather" is. There is a reason it's widely considered one of the greatest films, it's hard to watch performances like this, and to see the details put into this film and sell it short at all. The sequel is just as good, which is beyond rare. The only other time that has happened is with the masterpiece that is "Shrek 2."
Silent Hill (2006)
I have always had an affinity for horror movies that really make you think, that you really have to pay attention to the actual story, that's what you get with "Silent Hill." I have a longing to go visit the real-life town from the movie, even though I know the danger, if you're down hit me up!
Before Sunrise (1995)
The "Before Trilogy" is the greatest love story ever played out on screen, it's not up for debate. But specifically, "Before Sunrise" just makes me feel such intense emotions and attachments to Jesse and Celine. Their love is so evident from such an early point, you as the audience know before they do that they've fallen for each other. It's the most unrealistic, realistic love story. I'll know I have found the one when they make me feel the same way I do when I watch this movie.
Hook (1991)
I have a lot of comfort movies on this list, I think that just shows how often I need comfort. Anything with Robin Williams is immediately going to be loved by me, it's just a bonus that "Peter Pan" is one of my favorite tales. Seeing the story brought to life in this way brought a new level of magic to it. I love the film so much that I have ideas for a "Hook" inspired tattoo. It's that serious.
The Parent Trap (1998)
Nothing could have prepared me for how in love I fell the first time I saw Nick Parker in this film. Absolutely still has me perplexed. This movie gave us so many incredible talents, most notably launching the career of one of my favorite actresses growing up, Lindsay Lohan. There is not another movie that feels more like a warm hug. The 1998 version dances circles around the 1961 version. I am sorry, only one of those films has Lisa Ann Walter.
In Bruges (2008)
I watched this movie for the first time while I was on a rather terrifying date in the Hollywood Hills where I had zero cell service and had no choice but to enjoy it. Luckily, this man's one good trait was the ability to pick a good movie! So many actors I love are in this film, so many incredibly funny moments, and a newfound desire to move to a place I didn't know existed beforehand.
Accepted (2006)
Justin Long can do no wrong. He doesn't make bad career moves, but by far the best was "Accepted." I have seen this movie so many times I could easily recite the script, It's that good. Jonah Hill and Justin Long were meant to share the screen, their off-screen friendship comes through beautifully.
I am still salty that this college isn't a real-life place, maybe then I would have furthered my education.
Her (2013)
'Her' makes me ugly cry, everytime, without fail. It's such a sweet, beautiful movie that is the prime example of why I will always love Joaquin Phoenix. I just pretend he never made "The Joker" because that movie is god awful and should have stayed in the writers room. Sorry to upset straight toxic men everywhere.
Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)
'Looney Tunes: Back in Action' is by all accounts a perfect film. The half animation, as to not lose the magic of the Looney Tunes, and the live-action, as to not lose the magic of Brendan Fraser, is the perfect mix. I show this movie to everyone, and everyone loves it, it's a light-hearted watch. Let’s be real, I would watch anything Brendan was in, I just love that man.
The Lovely Bones (2009)
"The Lovely Bones" will ruin your whole day after watching, so don't go in thinking you're getting an easy watch. This movie is heavy and quite disturbing. But, the movie does something that all the best movies do, evoke intense emotion. I remember the first time I watched "The Lovely Bones" and I got full-body chills, and was so uncomfortable, and sad the whole time. Saoirse Ronan played the hell out of this role, as did Stanley Tucci, who I saw in my nightmares for months.
The Edge of Seventeen (2016)
"The Edge of Seventeen" is a severely underrated movie. It's almost scary how accurate the portrayal of depression we see in Nadine is in the film. Being erratic, genuinely feeling like you don't exist in your own body, feeling like the world is against you, even with no evidence to suggest that is the case. It all checks out. Blake Jenner is the one thing that taints this movie's greatness, but at least we have the rest of the incredible cast, especially Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson.
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Arguably, "The Wizard of Oz" is the most universally loved film of all time. You won't meet anyone that says it's a bad movie, and if they do they are just trying to be an ass. Judy Garland was one of the greatest talents that the world will ever see, and we have this performance that puts most others to shame forever memorialized. People young and old will never stop coming back to "The Wizard of Oz" it's THE classic.
The Shining (1980)
I was late to the game of being completely obsessed with "The Shining" and the two lead performances. Stephen King has an ability to draw me into horror movies that is completely singular to him. The world's he creates become about so much more than a jump scare, there is a deeper story with this movie that we are so lucky we get to see continue with 'Doctor Sleep.'
Yours, Mine and Ours (2005)
My step-dad was in the Navy, my mom's name is Helen, and we are a blended family of five, so this movie really just felt like a home video. Plus, Sean Faris is in it, and hey, I am only human, he's quite a visual treat. Whenever I am missing my siblings or my dad, I turn this on and it's like a little slice of childhood and happy things.
The Santa Clause (1994)
I told someone the other day how much I loved "The Santa Clause" and their exact response was "The Santa Clause > Citizen Kane" which couldn't be more true. This film is all things comfort and nostalgia rolled up into a package with a Tim Allen bow. I watch it all year long and don't trust anyone who doesn't put this film in the conversation of the greatest Christmas movies to have ever been made.
Together Together (2021)
I couldn't find a gif anywhere on the internet for this movie. 'Together Together' is a perfect film. It has light-hearted, funny moments, and the writers allowed these characters to exist without feelings getting involved. I was so relieved that they didn't allow Anna to fold on her boundaries and date someone that was obviously not what she wanted. Ed Helms, as always, killed this role and showed his potential as a leading man outside of just being "the funny guy".
Knives Out (2019)
I do not think I have ever been as attracted to someone on screen as I was to Chris Evans during his scenes in 'Knives Out.' The movie itself is nothing short of one of my favorite watches of the last few years. I genuinely didn't see the ending coming, and laughed out loud so many times. 'Knives Out' had every element I want out of a movie, and I am so happy we're getting a sequel with Daniel Craig returning.
Beetlejuice (1988)
If we actually get a sequel starring both Winona and Michael you will never hear me shut up about it. 'Beetlejuice' is easily the greatest Tim Burton film, and it's not close. You have to have the mind of a mastermind to put this together. Every single element works perfectly, from the Harry Belafonte songs, to the town where they shot the film, to the impeccable casting, to making it a clear comedy. Pure genius.
A Wrinkle in Time (2018)
If I ever mention a "golden trio" I want to make it clear that I am talking about Mindy, Oprah, and Reese in 'A Wrinkle in Time.' I saw this film twice in theaters and ugly cried both times when the kids are reunited with their dad, it's such a beautiful, tender moment. This is one of the greatest modern-age Disney projects, both because of the story and how visually stunning the movie is.
Return to Oz (1985)
Someone at Disney was real sick for making this as a sequel to one of the most beloved films of all time, but I love them for it. I ALMOST prefer this movie to the original, almost. Dorothy has shock therapy, there are the creepiest creatures (Wheeler) and there's a queen who keeps heads of people she decapitated in cases to wear them as her own, it's a real whirlwind of a movie. Aside from being slightly disturbing, it's a comfort movie for me and I have seen it a solid million times.
Jaws (1975)
Yes, 'Jaws' is a safe, basic choice, but it's one of the most famous films of all time for a reason! Is it scary per-say? No, but it's almost a comfort movie in a way. Reminds me of growing up, of trips to Universal Studios, and of my undying love for shark movies with terrible special effects and mechanical sharks.
Just a side note, but 'Jaws 3D' gets shit for no reason, it has a young 20s, Dennis Quaid! What more could you ask for?
Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019)
Cate Blanchett brought one of my favorite book characters to life so beautifully. This movie is a story of self-discovery, and just makes me feel good. They certainly did the book justice, and didn't add any unnessacary filler. The film, while it does have elements of struggle with a sense of self, isn't heavy and is a pretty easy watch.
The Age of Adaline (2015)
I just watched 'The Age of Adaline' last night for the second time, so it's fresh on my mind. Maybe that's how it ended up here in the first place, but this movie makes me feel things. You could tell the moment Adaline saw Ellis that it was a meant-to-be moment, there's no doubt about it. Blake Lively brings such emotion to this role and made me bawl multiple times. It's a bit of a heavy movie, but with so much pay-off.
La La Land (2016)
Any film that romanticizes Los Angeles in the same way I do, is going to be an instant favorite. I was so swept up in the idea of meeting the most handsome stranger, in the most beautiful place, and falling in love, there is such an allure there. 'La La Land' is such a stellar project, from the film itself to the soundtrack, nothing was a miss.
The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)
I know Netflix originals can get a bad rep, but 'The Fundamentals of Caring' completely goes against the grain. It stars Paul Rudd (swoon) and Craig Roberts in what I consider to be one of my favorite modern performances in a movie. Selena Gomez is also in the film and smashes it, I wish more people spoke about what a stellar actress she is. I laughed, I cried, and left watching this movie feeling like I needed to appreciate the simple things in life a bit more.
The Lord of the Rings (Collective) (2001-2003)
I am a tried and true 'Harry Potter' fan and had always steered clear of the 'Lord of the Rings' films in fear I'd find them too similar, but man, I am so glad I gave these movies a chance. I watched them within two days and fell so in love with this world (not like I needed another film series to geek out over) there is just something about a good fantasy movie that allows you to escape from your problems for a bit. I did watch 'The Hobbit' films as well, we really only needed one, why they made three is beyond me.
He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
Like I said earlier, I worship the ground Justin Long walks on. So 'He's Just Not That Into You' was always going to find its place on this list. This film is honestly one big call out to girls like me who desperately need to hear it, if a guy is into you, you'll know. Even though it's a tough pill to swallow, I have always come back to this movie anytime I need a good dose of a rom-com.
The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
The 40-Year-Old Virgin is one of the greatest comedies of all time, it's not debatable. Steve Carrell shows in this film that he is meant to be a leading man, and the fact that he's not the typical "romantic lead" stereotype doesn't take away from his performance one bit. Everything about this movie I love, from Seth Rogan to the Kelly Clarkson shoutout, it's all brilliant.
Wedding Crashers (2005)
9. "Wedding Crashers"Somehow I just saw this movie for the first time last year?? Look, for most of my life, I have been busy watching anything with Hilary Duff at the forefront. But, now that I have seen 'Wedding Crashers,' I would say it's easily a top 10 comedy. I don't often find Owen Wilson to be the most tolerable, but the pairing of him and the love of my life, Vince Vaughn, it's lightning in a bottle. Anytime I just want to laugh until my stomach hurts this is the movie I put on.
Scooby-Doo (2002)
Scooby Doomedia2.giphy.com'Scooby-Doo' might just be one of the best-casted movies I have ever seen. I mean come on, Sarah Michelle Gellar? Freddie Prinze Jr? Matthew Lillard? Linda Cardellini? You're going to tell me I am wrong? Aside from the casting, 'Words To Me' performed by Sugar Ray is a top 5 song from a soundtrack. It just hits.
The bag was seriously fumbled by not making Spooky Island into an actual theme park. I would go at least monthly.
The Princess Bride (1987)
9. "The Princess Bride."imgurI recently had to go back and re-watch 'The Princess Bride' because I knew there had to be something I was missing, of course, there was. This film lives up to all of the hype, this is the one time I will admit that I was wrong. I formally apologize to all my friends I have silently judged while they spoke about this movie.

Glee (2009-2015)
Is Glee bad? Yes! Do I love the show more than life itself and have I seen every season ten times? Also yes!
I've been watching Glee since season one and have seen every terrible plotline, awful song choice (What the Fox Say), and offensive pairings this show has pulled off (I'm looking at you Blaine, and Dave). But at the end of the day, it's exactly my sense of humor and features some of the funniest lines to have ever been said on network television. Plus, the cast is ridiculously talented and I couldn't have more love for them.
Criminal Minds (2005-2020)
I truly never thought I would be as emotionally invested in a show about FBI profilers as I became with Criminal Minds. As seemingly every other person on the planet I have the fattest crush on Matthew Gray Gubler thanks to his portrayal of Dr. Spencer Reid. Unlike a lot of crime shows on Tv, you get both intense cases covered while also having compelling plotlines happening in the character's personal lives.
Law And Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-Present )
Yes, I did indeed cry when Olivia and Elliott were finally reunited. Yes, I have cried every time I've seen them on screen together since.
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit has had me captivated since I was a preteen. I've always wanted to be involved in the true-crime space and I attribute that largely to this show. As a victim myself of things that are addressed in this show I've learned so much and felt less alone.
And Mariska is as big of a badass and an advocate for victims off screen as she is on screen.
Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017)
I stuck with Pretty Little Liars through so many A reveals I lost track. This show was so messy and the writers constantly had me on the brink of never turning it on again, but at the end of the day, I loved it! The characters truly had such incredible character development. You really fell for everyone on the show (maybe I fell extra hard for Caleb, but can you blame me?). It was a modern-day soap opera and I loved every moment. I am so glad every couple the fans rooted for ended up being endgame.
But I will never forgive the writers for the criminal pairing of Spencer and Caleb. I honestly feel sick just thinking about it.
Lost (2004-2010)
This show is a whirlwind. There were very few moments where I actually knew what was going on, but I was so hooked! I finished the show in it's entirety in just a few months and bawled like a baby during the season finale. The ending is exactly how you want everything to wrap up, not a stone left unturned and all the couples reunited physically and emotionally.
And yes, my favorite character will always be Hurley.
Manifest (2019-2021)
I'll admit, I am a new watcher to Manifest. But I could tell from the first episode I would be hooked on finding out what happened on flight 828. I have rewatched the entire series all the way through twice now in anticipation of a fourth season that may not even be coming. I'm are hoping that the network and Netflix come to an agreement so I can indulge even more.
Haven (2010-2015)
Giphy
Haven is a show you really have to pay attention to. If you even miss 10 minutes you'll be completely lost. It's the perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy, with a stellar cast. You'll be so heavily invested like I was within the first few episodes (which is rare for me it usually takes a solid season or so).
The Flash (2014- Present)
I have gone back and forth between watching and not watching The Flash since it's premiere date. Never because I wasn't interested just because it does get a bit repetitive, but I still love it and it earned it's spot on this list. Grant Gustin was the absolute perfect choice to play the leading man in the DC universe, no one else could have filled those shoes. The show will not be the same without my favorite character, Cisco, so we'll see if I am still into the next season.
You (2018- Present)
I am a Joe apologist. I am so sorry Penn Badgley, I know how disappointing that sentence is.
You is everything I want out of a tv show. There is an attractive cast, it's witty but has elements of a crime show and has romance! It's a recipe for success and it seems that the general public agrees with me, considering the show's massive success. I am patiently awaiting the twists and turns season three will bring for fans!
The Good Place (2016-2020)
It took a lot of convincing to get into The Good Place, but I am so glad I did! It's no surprise that the show is as good as it is, when you take into consideration it's made by Mike Schur who worked on The Office and Parks and Recreation. Kristen Bell is pure genius, she brought Eleanor to levels no one else could have. The show is fun for the whole family without sacrificing any humor.
The Office (2005-2013)
Yes, I know I am not original. The Office is my favorite show of all-time and I am not sorry about it. Every aspect of this show is pure perfection, and it is the best casted show in TV history. Each member of the cast was meant to do this, they're such an incredible group. Season four is the golden season of TV, I have never seen a collection of episodes more perfectly crafted. I bawled at the finale and have rewatched the series 7(!!) times.
Yes, I have a problem.
Parks And Recreation (2009-2015)
It took a lot of convincing on my friend Nick's part for me to finally watch this show, I am writing this on my laptop with a Ron Swanson sticker on it, so you can see how that went. This show is made by Greg Daniels, who also made The Office so it makes perfect sense that Parks and Recreation would become such a comfort show for me. The actors are some of the best in the business, and the show didn't have a single bad season, which is rare.
Shameless (2011-2021)
There is not a TV show character I love more than Kevin from Shameless. This entire show is so messy, but in the best way. It's definetley not for kids, and deals with a lot of serious shit, but it makes for a funny, heartwarming, entertaining watch. There's quite a lot of seasons so it's a show you can take your time with.
Also, Ian and Mickey getting married is a top tier moment in my life.
Young & Hungry (2014-2018)
Emily Osment was meant to play this roll. From the moment I first saw Young and Hungry I was hooked by what a feel-good show it is. You are guaranteed to laugh, especially at the hands of Yolanda, she's an icon. And you will probably want to find your own handsome, rich man in San Francisco.
Switched At Birth (2011-2017)
This show truly has so much heart. As much as I love all the shows on this list this one will always hold such a special place in my heart. The characters are ones I really connected with, especially Bay. Plus, i’ll watch anything with Blair Redford in it.
The Lying Game (2011-2013)
Fanpop
Another Blair Redford show! Like I said, i'll watch anything he does. The Lying Game was full of so many twists and turns that I sometimes had to watch episodes more than once to take it all in. But hey, I didn't mind! Any show this drama packed is going to end up on my list.
Jane By Design (2012)
Wiffle Gif
Billy and Jane were endgame, and the fact that there wasn't a second season is borderline criminal. Jane By Design was such a feel-good show, and had the best soundtrack, courtesy of Rachel Platten.
The Carrie Diaries (2013-2014)
The pairing of Austin Butler and AnnaSophia as a couple means everything to me. I was never a Sex in the City super fan but I've watched The Carrie Diaries all the way through multiple times. It’s the best example I can think of as far as a coming of age tv show goes. I'm all for more shows doing prequel spin-offs!
Haters Back Off (2016-2017)
Is it cringe? Yes! But I think it's cringe in the best way! Haters Back Off is genuinely funny, full of heart, and makes me so proud of Colleen Ballinger. Plus, Angela from The Office is on the show, so you know I tuned in.
WandaVision - (2021)
I’m a very new Wandavision fan and just finished the series a few nights before writing this. However, this show showed me what an incredible universe Marvel has created. One of the absolutely best short series ever made, and Elizabeth Olsen is a complete superstar.
General Hospital (1963-Present)
I can sense the judging, let me explain! As someone who lives for other people's drama, I can't get enough of the constant outpouring of it in Port Charles. My grandma (shocker) got me hooked and now I watch everyday, considering it's on five days a week.
Finding Carter (2014-2015)
The drama!! Finding Carter is a whirlwind of a ride! There are so many twists and you never really have the entire show figured out, which is one of the many reasons I love it.
Also, I worship the ground Alex Saxon walks on.
Full House (1987-1995)
Full House is one of the greatest family sitcoms of all time. It's stood the teat of time and is still quoted, and talked about today. Plus, seeing John Stamos as Uncle Jesse was indeed my sexual awakening. Have mercy!
Drake And Josh (2004-2007)
Let me just clarify by saying this is to praise what a comedic genius Josh Peck is, it's f*ck Drake Bell always!
Drake and Josh is one of those rare teen shows that is still as funny as the day it aired. Truly I can only describe it as lightning in a bottle, everything just works.
iCarly (2007-2012) (2021)
I loved the original iCarly. The show was such a huge part of my growing up, however, this revamped 2021 version? It's what dreams are made of! There are so many familiar faces as well as new characters who bring so much to the table.
And it made me realize before im a person I am a simp for Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress.
Love, Victor (2020-Present)
Love, Simon is one of the movies that means the most to me in the world. Simon's story just really connected with me. Seeing someone like Victor have his chance to have his story told has been equally as impactful. I've laughed, I've cried, and I've fallen in love with a whole new set of characters.
I want to talk all about Simon and Bram still being together and living happily in New York City, but my heart can't handle it.
That ‘70s Show (1998-2006)
The absolute blueprint. No show since has had a cast like this one, or humor this slapstick while also being perfectly dry. That ‘70s show also has the greatest theme song to ever be played on TV. It would have been shameful not to include this on my list.
Impractical Jokers (2011-Present)
I have to show some love to the Impractical Jokers. These four have created the ultimate comfort show, with non-stop laughs. There is something in the fact that they are genuine lifelong friends that takes away the cringe factor that many other shows that try and follow this formula have.
Catfish: The Tv Show (2012-Present)
I love reality tv, it's my weakness. At the center of this is Catfish. I have seen every single episode, I don't know if that's because of my crush on Nev or because Im genuinely intrigued, either way, I can't get enough!
And yes, the Kelly Price episode is genuinely the best.
Baby Daddy (2012-2017)
I had to end this list with a show that will always hold the most special place in my heart. I attended the taping for the last episode of Baby Daddy and feel forever connected to these actors. I’d reccomend this show to anyone.

1. Breasts come in different shapes and sizes.
Small, medium, large, large and in charge, breasts come in a variety of shapes and sizes. It is also normal for one breast to be larger than the other. You can thank your momma for that, but do not worry. Whether you think they are too tiny or too big, no one is giving them a second thought. Hang them low, hang them high, you get to flaunt those snowflakes any way you want.
2. Breasts are milk-producing muscles.
Despite what you heard, the breasts are not primarily made of fat. Their are connective, fibrous tissues with glands and ducts that provide milk through the nipples. After a certain age though, they run dry and become fat. This gives you enough time to tell those Got Milk? ads to give your milk jugs a spotlight for a change.
3. Breasts can grow and shrink.
Gaining weight or losing weight could increase or decrease the size of your breasts. Depending on the amount of fatty tissue present, breast size will vary. A number of other factors take part in the size of your chesticles as well. Pregnancy, periods, breast-feeding, sex. A certain Italian plumber cannot compete with these motherly magic mushrooms.
4. Breasts like to move it, move it.
We all know breasts cannot help fighting gravity during exercise. The example that comes to mind and once in a while appears running down the sidewalk is a jogger with her gal pals running away from her, up to eight inches away from her. That is right, breasts will wander away from you with a mind of their own in a figure eight path. When you go for a workout, make sure you are wearing a sports bra.
5. Breasts are the other windows to the soul.
If a man is staring at your boobs, that is its own compliment. Of course, if you think about it, it could be that your boobs are staring at him. They do look like eyes and they are mesmerizing enough to get lost in. Enough to lose sight of your personality, even your entire body. You cannot help it that they are the first part of you that walks into a room. They mean business and so do you.
6. Men can get breast cancer too.
Women are not the only ones who can contract breast cancer. With genetics playing a factor, aging, benign breast issues, radiation and estrogen exposure, and alcohol consumption can lead to breast cancer in both women and men. Treat those puppies in the pet shop window right and get a screening to catch any early signs, my sisters and brothers.
7. Breast drooping is due to smoking, not breastfeeding.
If you smoke, the elasticity or elastin in your breasts will suffer and create drooping breasts. Breastfeeding will only increase the size of your breasts. Do your breasts a favor and put down the cancer on a stick and pick up a baby to feed instead.
8. Nipples can be inverted, which is normal.
GiphyInverted nipples are a response to bonding underlying tissue to the base of the nipples. They can be inverted in either direction and are not usually a cause for alarm. They can in some instances be a sign of breast cancer, where a tumor has pulled the tissue of the nipple in an inverted direction.
9. Breasts can change color.
No, breasts are not the female mood ring, but the menstrual cycle is (joking). Breasts, for instance, can become red or redder after sex while a breastfeeding midwife or nurse would have blue breasts, and in old age, black-colored breasts. Taste the rainbow, but do not overdue it.
10. Breasts have gotten larger over the years.
United States breasts to be exact. In the last few decades, bra size has went from a 34B to a 34DD. That means a lot more than 80 days around the world, or two worlds with two lonely islands.
11. Breast sagging is going to happen.
GiphyIf it is not old age, there is plenty of ways your boobs will fall to the floor eventually. Mother nature's gravity will be happy to help that fall. Smoking again brings its toll and so does sleep. Avoid sleeping on your stomach to prevent premature sagging and changes to the shape of your breasts, ladies.
12. Third nipples exist.
indiescifi451.files.wordpress.com
Less than 7% of the world's population has a third nipple, that is, extra breast tissue. Lactation and menstruation sensitivity is also a possibility. Two is company, three is a crowd, and what a crowd-pleaser a third makes too.
13. Breast augmentation is common.
GiphyBreast enlargement is the most popular form of plastic surgery in the United States. While it costs an arm and a leg, the procedure has been keeping strong since its first breast implant in 1962. Silicone, natural, whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable with your breasts is a kind investment.
14. Breasts are special to humans.
GiphyUnlike other animals whose breasts grow only when they breastfeed, humans' breasts are permanent and continue to grow and change over time. Breasts start development long before puberty and grow larger during menstruation and pregnancy. How is that for an adaptation, Darwin? How do you like them apples, Newton?
15. Breasts have four types of nipples.
Inverted is only one of four types of nipples. There are particularly perky or protruding nipples that look like a rocket exiting our atmosphere to discover new nipples. There are flat nipples for when you need a smooth, even landing. Puffy nipples, lastly, provide a plush cushion for those rough bouts of rubbing. Like their breasts, nipples all have their perks.
16. Breasts can weigh between one and two pounds.
That is just an average though. Breasts look like eyes but that is not their only optical illusion. Some breasts are small but weigh more than they look. Imagine carrying around a pair of melons or a loaf of bread attached to your chest. That is what it is like having breasts.
17. Breastfeeding is good brain food.
GiphyMother's milk supports brain development in babies earlier and faster in infancy. Improvements in cognitive skills such as environmental awareness, language-speaking, and motor control follow in breastfed babies. Plus, you can breastfeed a baby for up to six months before solid food is introduced. Do not think twice about it, give suck to a babbler and turn him or her into a Shakespeare or Woolf!
18. Bra size matters too.
The breast can change up to six times in a woman's life. The problem women face is the wrong bra size. Bras are often too large in the cup, making the breasts disproportionate and less firm and lifted. It is important to wear the right size bra to accommodate the changes in your breasts; wearing the next size down is recommended.
19. Breasts have a special scent.
Only babies can smell the Montgomery's glands or tiny bumps on the areola or ring of color surrounding the nipples. They smell of amniotic fluid, aiding the baby in finding the source of the breast milk. Pretty sweet deal.
20. Breasts live in infamy.
GiphyFrom sex symbols to actresses, no one can ignore a healthy pair of shining stars. Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Dolly Parton, the list goes on and will continue no doubt. That is not to say their busts are the most important assets. We just noticed is all and kept at it long enough to capture it for future reference. A timeline of teats for the horny historian.
21. Breasts are pieces of art.
GiphyBody art and bedazzling on top of the curves and lines of the female form makes for double the beauty. Some women in their maternity get their stomach's painted but have painted their entire bodies for pregnancy photoshoots. It is just another way to express your body while being half-nude at the same time.
22. Breasts can look larger with makeup.
If you have not outgrown stuffing your bra with tissue paper, it is time for a more helpful alternative with makeup. Take some bronzer, and coat it over the shadows and dark areas of your breasts; the cleavage will be the place to do it. If you want to grab some glow, use highlighter and contour them. Voilà! Your breasts now look fuller than a bronze statue.
23. Breasts can go braless.
GiphyThere is nothing wrong with letting your boobs getting some breathing room. In fact, it is better every once in a while to have them hang loose for a while. If you are worried about having it look like your smuggling raisins under your shirt, no worries. Nipple concealers, like New Delhi and Krunchals, work wonders.
24. Breast massages are the best.
GiphyA breast massage creates circulation of new blood and keeps your immune system detoxed and running smoothly. Tenderness and swelling is reduced and emotional and sensual stability is increased as well. You do not have to go to a spa for a full-body massage either. You can massage them at home yourself since no one knows your girls like you do.
25. Breasts are great for foreplay and roleplay.
Face it, you are hungry like the wolf and so is the significant other you have or are after. Nothing like a striptease or a topless surprise to curve each other's appetites. You feel sexy for acknowledging your boobs and what they can do for your partner too.
26. Breasts need their own photo op.
GiphyWhether you want to send nudes, that is your call, but some women like to photograph themselves and their youth when they still have it. Think of it as a nice mammary slash memory scrapbook, just for you.
27. Breasts are Mother Nature's fruits.
Know that your breasts are natural and normal no matter their size or shape. There is nothing wrong with getting breast enhancements to make them feel natural and normal either. Whatever breasts your working with, celebrate them.
28. Breasts are best friends.
Sometimes we do not think about them or even take them for granted, but there are some women who have no choice but to fight for them and themselves. From one breast friend to another, consider giving a donation to support research and women for Breast Cancer Awareness month. In the meantime, check your breasts personally or get checked professionally.
29. Breasts can have nicknames.
Men have nicknames for their ball-peen hammers (Ping and Pong, Gonzo, Mr. Johnson and the Juice Crew, etc.) but your lovely ladies need nicknames too. They could be innocent names with a hint of sultry like, Thumbelina and Princess Areola. Have fun with your new bosom buddies.
30. Breasts have many medical names.
GiphyMast-o for mastectomy, mamm-o for mammography, and a historical and badass name, maz-o, which means "amazon" or "without a breast." Maz-o comes from the Brazilian female warriors of the Amazon who, legend says, cut off their breasts to improve their archery. A bit drastic, maybe Rambo-level drastic, but still badass.
31. Breasts also have 99 names.
Well, 99 words for boobs but it is the thought that counts. The amount of metaphors for a body part is remarkable. Double Whoppers, Ta-tas, there is plenty to choose from. Picasso's squares is my personal favorite word for boobs. I suggest you brush up on your breast vocabulary, you never know when you will be met by a pair of Elmer Fudds.
Breasts are the best, so let us keep them that way.
