If you're a female over the age of sixteen, odds are, you've seen Sex and the City. Iconic since its inception, this show has maintained its relevant despite the ever-changing trends and styles. Yet even if you're one of the few women who hasn't seen the show, you might find yourself identifying with its iconic heroine: Carrie Bradshaw. How do you know?

1. You don't identify with Miranda, Samantha, or Charlotte.

Miranda is a little too cynical, Samantha a little too sexual, and Charlotte a little too romantic. Sure, you have your moments that remind you of one of them (they're your best friends, after-all), but your own set of personality traits is a little different.

2. You have a Miranda, Samantha, and/or Charlotte.

You have a solid group of girlfriends, all a little different, and you go to each of them for different things. For when you're needing to draft a witty comeback text, you consult your Miranda. Need tips on how to give guys a taste of there own medicine? Call your Samantha. You're in love, you're in love, and you don't care who knows it? Call Charlotte!

3. You constantly find yourself answering questions with a question.

You know your inner Carrie has really started developing when you start telling a story, and mid-sentence, find yourself saying, "I couldn't help but wonder..." More-so than that, you often find yourself philosophizing about love and life, like, "Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?" Oh Carrie, you always have us wondering.

4. You have a "Mr. Big" equivalent.

Your "Mr. Big" is probably a little older, enjoys speaking in riddles, and is always in and out of your life. While you've both been in other relationships (and maybe you're in another one know), deep down, you know you're going to end up with him. At the end of the day, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh.

5. Likewise, you have an Aidan equivalent.

Your friends all rooted for him--he was just so nice and he never screwed you over like Big. Unfortunately, something was missing. For you, you need more than just a nice guy. You need someone who is going to drive you insane, but in the best way possible. You need someone intelligent and funny, who cares about things other than dogs and home improvement (not that you don't love dogs, but you know what I mean).

6. You have a shoe fetish (or an everything fetish).

Will we ever forget the day that Carrie reveals what's in her bank account? Yikes. If you're a Carrie, you like your money where you can see it: hanging in your closet. Not to mention the fact that you probably have a killer closet, and a bangin' bod to go with it (because shopping is your cardio).

7. You don't identify with the "perfect, put-together girl."

If you're Carrie, you really want to rip the Natasha's of the world apart. The "perfect girl" may be able to wear a white dress and not spill on it (something you will never be able to do), and she may get Mr. Big for a while. However, she's not going to know the difference between "their" and "there," and you'd rather be the girl who eats like a slob or loses a Jimmy Choo than be the girl who looks the part but doesn't know how to spell.

8. You like to date around.

All four friends have different dating mentalities. Samantha wants a different guy every night, Miranda isn't even thinking about men most of the time (although somehow she still ends up going through a lot of them), and Charlotte just wants to get married/be in a committed relationship. You're not exactly sure what you want, so you test the waters until something finally feels right. This means that you could have dated anyone from a jazz musician, to a professional baseball player, to a politically *ahem* correct politician.

9. What does "domestication" mean?

Carrie always has and always will have her own thing--a writing career. Despite (spoiler alert!) eventually marrying Big, she keeps her job, doesn't even know if she's right for motherhood, and would rather keep clothes in her oven than use it for baking. She also loves her apartment like a child. Most importantly, she acknowledges that in life, it's important to love yourself first.

10. You have very corny "isms."

You may not throw around the words "gal" and "fabulous" all the time, but there are definitely some words and phrases that only you can get away with. On anyone else, they're corny. On you? They're oh-so "Carrie." Side-note: you also implore the use of puns, which some people find hilarious, and others find cringe-worthy. It's okay, again, you're you.

11. You have your vices, and you're not ashamed of them.

Whether it be smoking, drinking, junk food, or men, your vices make you you, and to be frank, they make you normal. So when dealing with these vices, you always go with the direct approach. Some man keeps messing up your life? You literally walk up to him and say, "Why do you keep messing up my life?!" When going up to drive through, you order that burger and fries with a cosmopolitan.

12. Your best friends are your world.

This goes without saying, but no matter what the occasion--whether that be a celebration of a career milestone, a horrible birthday, or a jilting at the alter--you know your best friends will be there. Of course you love your family, but your friends are the first ones you call when you need to interpret a message, or when you want an unbiased opinion (but naturally, they're always going to be biased towards you). They know exactly what to say when you're feeling down, and they make you laugh, even when you think you'll never laugh again (but you will, when something is really, really funny).

To sum it up: if you love shopping, philosophizing, dating, or spending time with your girlfriends, you're Carrie. Have a simply fabulous life.
