17 Times Broad City Should Have Been Called Orlando City
Comedy Central

Okay...I already knew that Broad City related to every aspect of my life. I mean, come on, how can Abbi and Ilana not be anyone's spirit animals?! It is obvious that the show caters to 20-something-year-olds who have no clue how adulting works, but I never realized how much a show about the Big Apple could relate to my own home of Orlando, Florida. You may be from Orlando City if you have ever related to these Broad City moments...


1. You are desperate for A/C.


2. Oranges are basically the sole reason the city even exists, so you take them pretty seriously.

Nothing beats Florida orange juice and you know it.


3. Somehow there is always some random creature that finds its way into your home.


4. Hurricanes are the BEST times to throw a party.


5. If you're not from Winter Park, the "horrible, vapid wasteland" might as well be Park Avenue.

You still find yourself there occasionally because you actually love it.


6. And Avalon Park is so perfect that it has to be too good to be true.


7. Sometimes the bucket drummers downtown are the best DJs.


8. You can't escape these people.

Why does everything weird happen in Florida?


9. You rediscover your super strength every week by carrying your best friend out of the many "classy" bars throughout UCF, downtown, and International Drive.


10. You have one secret bar that you can go to at the end of the night as an alter-ego.

The random people at the bar love you so it's alright. But it's only a matter of time until everyone you know finds out.


11. You always seem to run into the one person around whom you don't want to make a fool of yourself.

Why is this city so small?!


12. And then somehow being yourself around that person works out... for a day.

After it's over, you continue to see them everywhere because there is no escape in Orlando. The city is actually getting smaller by the minute.


13. Low-key, there is always a celebrity or professional athlete in the vicinity because there is always something going on in Orlando.


14. Your guilty pleasure is to hang out at the theme parks and malls on the west side of town even though you hate tourists.

Annual passes and huge sales are the way to go.


15. There is so much to do in Orlando that you constantly have to live in fear of missing out.

They say experience Orlando for a reason.


16. As much as you hate the heat, humidity, tourists, and bugs, there's no place like Orlando.

(I'd like to give a shout out to all the comedians with Florida references. We appreciate you.)


17. Actual footage of a family eating at Disney.

If it's not a Pub sub, you're doing it wrong.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
