Yeah, Mom, I am re-watching season two, episode nine of "Sex and the City" again, and no I don't want to leave my bed.

If you are anything at all like me, then you know Carrie Bradshaw's exact reaction -- facial expression, outfit and word choice -- when she breaks up with Mr. Big for the first, second and even third time. We have memorized Miranda's wedding vows to Steve or Samantha's speech about breast cancer. And you know what? That is OK. While the six seasons of "Sex and the City" might be your guilty pleasure and favorite pass time, the show actually offers valuable life lessons about love, friendship and looking at the positives of life that can often be overlooked in the glamorous television show.

1. Miranda's devotion to work.

OK, fine, maybe Miranda isn't our favorite of the four. Is she anyone's? But we can't ignore her impressive lawyer job and ability to pay for her own first apartment. She undeniably sets a good image for younger female viewers.

2. Charlotte's unwavering persistence.

(My favorite character) Charlotte's class and flawless nature is intriguing. As viewers look up to Charlotte for a variety of reasons, I think her most meaningful quality is her persistence. Whether she's running miles, marching right up to someone who treated her wrongly or her ongoing quest to create afamily, these are all qualities of Charlotte that are so admirable to young women watching the show.

3. Samantha's carefree attitude towards life.

While it may sound silly, watching Samantha's reaction to her breast cancer diagnoses genuinely made me feel hopeful about those I know going through treatments currently, and for those who will have to endure a scary diagnoses in the future. Samantha's calm and positive nature, not freaking out or jumping to conclusions, mimicked a way I want to live. Her ability to make jokes throughout the process and be 100 percent herself as she yells at the man at the wig manager saying she "needs to look more fabulous" is honestly very touching.

4. Carrie's ability to bounce back always.

Carrie is constantly standing up for herself, her friends, her writing and what she believes in throughout the show. Whether she is standing up for what is right and how she deserves to be treated in her various relationships, to her editors and past lovers, Carrie advocates to always be yourself because you deserve the best.

So next time you get yelled at for binge watching too much "Sex and the City" tell them to think again, and sit down a learn a thing or two for themselves about the great qualities these women portray.
