Seasons, like cosmopolitans, are cyclical—one minute we are quite in love with the drink and the next minute it's out like the wind on a spring morning. Sex and The City remind us that cosmos are tried and true, they are like the books that never go out of style, the dresses you never forget to wear, and the friends you always keep no matter the season. Have relationships become the new cosmo?
Millennials seem to throw out relationships like the weather changes in Georgia. First, you’re in and then you’re out, you become tired and boring—nothing to satisfy the short attention span we have grown accustomed to. Relationships are like a rare sale you find at your favorite store. The moment you see the sale, you realize you must look. There’s no harm in looking and while you’re there you find the perfect sheath dress and not to mention peep toes to go with. Who can argue with a sale so great? That’s like finding the perfect guy. It’s the sale you never expect but it happens anyways and you can’t say no.
But what happens after the sale, when you go home and try on your new outfit? You then realize that perfection doesn’t really exist and something will happen to that dress—to the shoes. You can’t return them, which is where we need to take the next step and realize that the only way to find our slight need of perfection is to take care of what you have—that way you no longer have a spring only relationship, but one that lasts year round.
For those who are still looking for that rare sale, don’t worry—it’ll be here before you know it. In the meantime, grab the girls and a Cosmo—these two will never go out of style.
