Times Carrie Bradshaw Got It Wrong

"Sex and the City" is great. Carrie is not great.

Times Carrie Bradshaw Got It Wrong

"Sex and the City" is hands down the best show ever. However, Carrie Bradshaw got it wrong so many times. So many girls love being the "Carrie" of the friend group. However, that is an insult. You definitely should prefer to be a "Samantha" or even a "Miranda."

1. After having an affair with Big and ruining his marriage with Natasha, Carrie decides to apologize to Natasha.

However, Natasha isn't having it (and no one can blame her). So, Carrie gets mad that Natasha won't forgive her. Carrie gets upset that Natasha isn't OK with her sleeping with her husband. Seriously, Carrie?

2. Carrie pawned Charlotte's wedding ring so that she could afford her apartment.

Here's an idea Carrie: maybe you shouldn't spend so much money on shoes.

3. She ran into her long-distance friend Amalita at Dolce & Gabbana.

Before seeing her friend, Carrie's credit card gets declined (probably from spending too much money on shoes). However, Amalita buys Carrie the shoes. Wow, how convenient is that?

4. Can we all remember that time when Carrie was psychotic and stalked Big's first ex-wife?

She lied to the ex-wife and claimed that she wanted to write a children's book about cigarettes, just so that she could meet her. Carrie is the ultimate crazy girlfriend.

5. She never calls her boyfriends by their real names.

Big, Berger, the Russian. Are we 14 years old, Carrie? That's so annoying.

6. Of course, she managed to make Charlotte's wedding day all about herself.

Carrie decides that the wedding is the perfect time to tell Aiden that she cheated on him (with Big, of course). Carrie's so classy.

7. One time, Charlotte takes Carrie to the opera.

Naturally, Carrie sees Big in the audience and decides to ditch Charlotte.

8. Who can forget the most famous Carrie Bradshaw quote: "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them."

Carrie compares herself to a wild animal, yet she ends up going back to Big in the end.

9. Yes, Carrie made cosmopolitans cool.

Yet, she orders one at a McDonald's drive thru. Are you trying to be funny, Carrie?

10. Aiden was the perfect boyfriend.

He put up with all of Carrie's crap and nonsense. Despite this, though, Carrie doesn't wear her engagement ring. Her reasoning? She wears it as a necklace so that it's "closer to her heart." Carrie, we see right through you (aka your affair with Big).

11. She constantly judged Samantha for her hook ups, yet she's the one who had an affair with a married man!

12. While Samantha was receiving chemo, Carrie won't stop talking about her Russian boyfriend.

13. The character of Carrie never changes or matures in the show.

Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda all experience life changes, yet Carrie literally spends six seasons complaining about Big.

So, "Sex and the City" fans, you definitely don't want to be the "Carrie" of the group.

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.

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.

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.
