Character Analysis Of Showtime's 'The L word'

So I immersed myself into the lesbian world of the L word. I've only finished the first season and

I. CANNOT. STAND. IT.

But I also love it.

Let me explain. The L word is a complex TV show filled with lust, love, lying, cheating, etc. Just like any other television show. But it has a ton of lesbian stuff in it. That is what makes it a really great TV show, because what other TV show is made up 90% lesbian cast. So anyway, I have a ton of complaints about this amazing (but awful at the same time) work of art. So here are my complaints about each characters.

Don't judge me too much because I've watched the first season. I'm working on the rest.

1. Jenny


By far the worst character on this show. Jenny is an emotional mess. That is the only way to describe her. It's okay to be confused about your sexuality, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But cheating will always be wrong, JENNY. And after she cheated, she acted as if she was the victim. UGH!

2. Shane

Shane is my character so far in the show. She has a super sexy way about her. Her attitude is f**k them and leave them. But she fell in love... with the worst person ever. Never in my life did I think of Shane to act so reckless... especially for a rich, married MILF.

3. Bette

Bette was my favorite in the beginning. She was a career woman in a long-term, successful relationship with a woman that quit her job to devote herself to getting pregnant. Of course better messed up by cheating. The one character that was SOOO mad about Jenny cheating on her man. She lost me as a fan once she cheated.

4. Tina


The one that Bette cheated on. I actually have no complaints about her. Tina is perfect.

5. Dana


Dana is adorable, but naive. Which is what makes her character soooo annoying. Always complaining about not getting laid even though the love of her life (in my opinion), aka Alice, has been sitting in front of her since the beginning of the show. I also hate her because she moved in with a woman after knowing her for like 24 hours. Definition of lonely right there.

6. Alice

Alice is also perfect. I like them blondes.

7. Kit

The only straight character in this show... so far. I don't have much against Kit except for the fact that she completely led a woman on!!!! Dude, you know you're as straight as a ruler, why are you gonna lead someone on like that. The worst part is because she needed money. Shady. SO SHADY.

Please don't judge me on these analyses. I'm sure these characters have developed more throughout the show, but I just couldn't keep it bottled up inside of me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
