Whether you fell in love with the independent, B.A.B, beautiful Carrie Bradshaw from the classic show, "Sex And The City," or the spin off, "The Carrie Diaries," you do not stand alone in your obsession with the fictional character played by both Sarah Jessica Parker, and AnnaSophia Rob. For me, as a young aspiring journalist, from the tri-state area, Carrie Bradshaw is my nonexistent role model. Through every funny comment, break up, and accomplishment that Carrie has had, we can all relate to her. So, here are a few reasons why Carrie Bradshaw is the G.O.A.T, and the best person to never exist:

1. Her fashion sense

You have to love her shopping and shoe addiction, and she's just the cutest.

2. Love life


Carrie's openness towards every relationship she had was so genuine, and we learned from every failed relationship she had. It's so inspiring to see a woman who is such an open book, but yet so strong. Her wisdom makes her everyone's own personal therapist.

3. Her wisdom


You can't not love the way Carrie puts her thoughts into words. She is a journalist, but borderline a philosopher.

4. Her funny quotes

Nobody's quotes are more relatable than hers. She says what everyone is thinking.

5. Her friend group

Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda are the original #SquadGoals. Every friend group can relate to these ladies on some level. You can't deny that you want to go to breakfast with them.

7. Her open mindedness

What did Carrie not try?

8. She lives in NYC


Carrie couldn't live anywhere but the best city in the world. period.

9. She follows her dreams

Carrie is beyond dedicated to her column, even though it wasn't always easy, her determination, creativity and openness led to her success.

So there you have it, these simple reasons are why Carrie Bradshaw is my favorite fictional character. No other TV show character has ever been so real, and relatable. Between her smoking and shopping addictions, her complicated love life and her determination, I think Carrie is a character that all young girls can relate to. While so many TV shows create an unrealistic, unreachable fantasy, Sex And The City and The Carrie Diaries have always kept it one hundred percent real, and gave young girls a show that they can learn from, laugh at and be inspired from. To the creator of Sex and The City, thank you for Carrie Bradshaw.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
