6 Reasons you need to watch the Carrie Diaries

1. Sebastian Kydd

Have you seen Austin Butler’s smile? If you haven’t, I do not know what you are doing with yourself. Google Austin Butler. Right now. That gif is not enough for you to comprehend the power of his smile. Then, read the rest of this list. He is the perfect bad boy to corrupt Carrie’s very innocent lifestyle and personality. Everyone needs that one person that is going to break them free of their incorruptibility and show them what they’re meant to do in life—that’s exactly what Sebastian does for Carrie. Did I also mention he’s GORGEOUS?

2. The story line

There are various issues that Carrie and the gang undergo that could provide helpful tips to your own life. There are LGBT issues, school hardships, relationship tribulations, you name it, it's in the series. The story line keeps you wanting more to know how little Miss Bradshaw came to be the infamous reckless Carrie that we all know and love in Sex and the City.

3. Carrie Bradshaw

When she smiles, you smile. She is such a delightful character. She is ambitious, intelligent, and quick witted. Carrie is going through quite a lot at the beginning of the series with all her new changes, internally and externally, and you never see her desire to succeed fall. She knows what she wants out of life and uses all of her disadvantages to her advantage. That is the type of character we millennials need to embody to succeed in this competitive job market. Although Carrie is a character in a television series, she is a role model for a lot of young women.

4. The Fashion is as wild your imagination.

If you are even the slightest bit intrigued by fashion and its roots, this show is for you. This series is set in the 80’s—the prime decade for flashy colors and eccentric patters. From neon pink skirts with a teal crew neck sweater to her infamous large star dangling earrings, Carrie was never over or underdressed. One my favorite pieces she wore was a green coat, leopard print crop top and Emeline tulle beige skirt in the episode “Run to You.” If you don’t want to watch the show for its content, watch it for the fashion. Not to mention anything that Larissa wore was straight out of the streets of Fifth Avenue.

5. The series gives your wildest dreams hope.

I don’t know about you, but my dream is to be able to have a chapter of my life in New York City. Why not? It’s a city where anything can happen and there is never a dull moment. Carrie goes from drag to fab when she is presented an incredible opportunity to have an internship in Manhattan. Although this show may seem very unrealistic to some people, it’s very real. This show teaches girls that you never know where connections can lead you and that no matter what happens—don’t ever give up on your dreams.

6. Love

Carrie’s love life gives us an exceptional view into the traumatic train wreck that is love. It’s not pretty, it does hurt, and it is one of the greatest feelings you can experience. The romantic story line pulls on your heart a million times over and over and you’ll fall in love over and over. I feel that this series really gives you an insight to the tribulations that loving someone can bring you.

PSA: some episodes require a box of tissues.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
