From "Girls" To Women: Why Every 20-Something Year Old Should Tune In
Screen Crush

Last night was the series finale for the HBO show “Girls” and if you ever tuned into an episode and it didn’t completely wreck your life, then f*ck you.

“Girls” follows the lives of Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna, all single gals just trying to survive the streets of New York City while figuring out what life actually wants from them and vice versa. From treading carefully through the minefield that is dating to peeing in the street to casual sex to serious sex, “Girls” revolutionized the definition of the modern female. Hannah taught us that no matter how weird life gets, you can still end up happy. Jessa taught us it’s okay to unapologetically feel everything. Shosh taught us to always be the realest of real, no matter how much your words might hurt. And Marnie taught us...actually, I’m not sure what Marine taught us. She was the worst. But most of all, the girls of “Girls” taught us that sometimes - all the time - it’s okay to be completely human. The following nine quotes are some of my favorites from the show. They need no explanation, and I’m not gonna provide them. If you want to know the context surrounding them, you’re going just going to have to watch it.









If you’ve never seen "Girls" but have always wanted to, now’s the time to binge watch. If you’ve never seen "Girls" and have no interest to, watch it anyway. It’ll change your life.

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.

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.
