10 Reasons Why Your Friends Are Better Than A Boyfriend, As Told By ‘Sex And The City’

Who says Valentine's Day has to be strictly reserved for happy couples? In today's forward-thinking society, there's less pressure to be in a relationship, create the “perfect” life with somebody or rush to put a ring on it. Instead, women are owning their independence and embracing their female friendships first; And nobody knows this better than the girls of ‘Sex and the City.' Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha go through all the ups and downs of dating (in endless re-runs and two feature-length films) so that we don’t have to. They’ve taught us about everything from love and heartbreak to how to rock a sequin tube top and find your signature drink at the club (a cosmopolitan, obviously). More importantly, SATC shows us that our friendships will be there for us through it all, always.

This month, show your girls the love they deserve by looking to the original #squadgoals for inspiration.

1. They answer life's toughest questions

2. They share your #struggles

3. They know that retail is the best therapy

4. You share an unspoken language

5. They could listen to your stories all day

6. And they're always on your side...

7. Even when they're giving you tough love

8. Girlfriends know how to show up in style

9. And they never let you give up hope...

10. Because they're your 'forever friends'

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
