Why I Aspire To Be Part Of Sex And The City

After binge watching, which, how can you not- you'll forever wish you were part of this lifestyle.

I write too much about Netflix and series and shows. But honestly, I should do it for a career, because it's practically a 9-5 job that I definitely am devoted to. (Only it's 11-11 between classes.)

But this makes me wonder, if you binge watch a series because it's so good, is it OK to binge watch it again just in case you missed any good moments? (Call me Carrie.)

"Sex and the City" is a friend group of four girls: blonde, red RED head, brunette, and dirty/sandy/blonde brunette. Samantha, a popular PR agent; Miranda, a successful lawyer; Charlotte, consultant for an art gallery; and the main character Carrie, a sex and relationship columnist for the news paper. They each go through dating, marriages, sex problems, money, and living in NYC. Does it get better?

(Special tip: there are most definitely graphic sexual scenes almost every season, mostly between the character Samantha and her latest squeeze. And provocative and sexual language, anytime you see the four main characters sitting for breakfast.)

It is a fantastic show. It's inappropriate enough, funny enough, and almost too relatable. I've said these things before, but I'll say it undeniably again: it's just perfect. It's enough romance and relationships, with a perfect balance of comedy and awkward, awful situations you hope never happen to you. And they're all adults. No children, no high schoolers. (Some college students when the main characters decide to cougar it out, I will admit.) It's just fantastic. And although they're usually older than the viewing group, they become relatable to all ages with dating, teenage years, and future advice for husbands and dating.

Each season comes with its own lesson for every girl. Mistakes as small as can be, and as large as you can imagine. Illnesses, accidental pregnancies, engagements called off, and marriages and future plans that just won't seem to happen. And they get through it all, with the help of their best friends at the end of every day.

Each character is different, and before you know it, you'll be deciding which one closely represents your friend group.


Samantha. Samantha is usually the favorite character, with something witty and sexual to always respond with. She would never judge a friend and seems to thoroughly enjoy the judgment she constantly receives from her close friends. She's confident, open with her sexuality, and never afraid to say what's on her mind or what she wants.

Charlotte. She's pristine, classy, fancy, and always put together. She's the only one always shown in scenes working out, dressed to perfection, discussing art, or shaming Samantha for her usage of pen*s and pu**y, and other vulgar terms at brunch and in public. She never discusses her sex life, and gets through every personal battle without quitting or negativity, and is always spewing the motivational soul-mate phrases you see on your aunt's Pinterest. Somewhat annoying to the over the top friend group in being so opposite- you still find yourself aspiring to be her as a grown woman.

Miranda. Miranda with fire red hair certainly has the personality to match. She has a lot of personal quirks that interfere with her relationships, but you find yourself agreeing with all of them at the end of the day. She is every woman's goal as an independent woman who defends her leadership and success at work each day and doesn't try to let men affect her as much as others.

Carrie. Carrie is the epitome of teen and mid-twenties dreams for the future. She has an amazing job that seems so fun, and makes you think you could become a writer simply because funny things happen to you once in a while. She's emotional when needed, expresses herself, and rocks every bad situation that happens to her. Including the WORST break up imaginable. And does everything in style.


This montage of episodes (AND TWO MOVIES) cannot express enough in writing, or so too much. So to end this article, here are some funny clips from the series.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
