Big Mouth Is Practically My Life

In This Article:

Big Mouth is this really amazing Netflix show created by Nick Kroll, which showcases the life of a small group of middle school kids. The kids face the greatest battle of all...puberty. The show depicts their experiences as they discover their bodies and the bodies of the opposite sex.

This isn't your average after school type of show. It's graphic and vulgar, which is why it's so great! The show tackles everything from masturbation to having kids with a pillow. Although I can't relate to the latter of that statement, the show itself has many relatable puberty moments for everyone! I decided what better way to contribute to the interweb than by posting my most relatable Big Mouth moments:

WARNING: might include some spoilers of season 3

Everybody Bleeds

In this episode, Jessi gets her period on a class field trip to the Statue of Liberty and to make matters worse, she is wearing white shorts. To assist her with this nightmare she confides in Andrew, who helps her to the best of his boy-ish abilities. It's like Nick Kroll spied into my life and ripped this scene from my memories. One of my most embarrassing moments in life would be when I got my period on a school field trip to a National Guard base. Like Jessi, I had a male teacher and didn't feel comfortable telling him about my visit from mother nature, so I confided in a female teacher. I'm sure Jessi and I could agree, it was one of the worst days ever.

Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality

The kids all have sleepovers in this episode. The girls go to Jessi's and the guys are at Jay's. At Jessi's house, Lola and Devin are teasing Missy and Jessi decides to stand up for her. This results in a dramatic emotional event amongst all the girls. Everyone is distraught with tears. Been there, done that! Elementary school, fourth grade to be exact. It was a sleepover at an old friends house. Snoop Dog literally started the entire debacle. A friend and I were discussing his music and our dear friend inquired about him. Me (being a very bratty 10 year old) told her that she wouldn't know who Snoop Dog is because she isn't black. Inserts facepalm emoji here. This caused a big argument amongst everyone. I started a freaking race war! Our passionate little hearts led us to tears and the silent treatment. Thanks to the host's parents for suggesting ping pong to diffuse our conflict.

What Is It About Boobs?

This episode as you probably figured is all about breast. The entire school notices that Gina's boobs have grown tremendously which sparks a fit of jealousy from the girls and lust from the boys. Like Missy, I wore tank undershirts for majority of my adolescence. I did not have boobs until like seventh grade, and even then it was nothing compared to the other girls. I was called 'boy' and 'flat chested' so many times until I pulled a Jessi and bought a pushup bra. It was a very cheap one, considering I didn't have much to actually push up. It at least gave my shirts the allusion that something was there and slightly boosted my confidence. Although, I still have very small boobs and I'll probably always be envious of the Gina's in the world.

Girls Are Angry Too

Two words: dress code. The root of all sexist evil in public school systems. In the episode Mr. Lizer creates a dress code for the girls. All in order for the boys to be able to contain themselves and their animalistic hormones. In true feminist fashion, the girls protest the rules by wearing their sluttiest outfits to school. While I didn't parade the halls in a bra and spandex shorts, I most definitely challenged the rules. My skirts rarely touched my fingertips, crop tops all the time (with high waisted jeans of course) and my shoulders were constantly out. The dress code in middle and high school were way more strict in regards to girls than guys. The guys in Big Mouth couldn't wear wrestling masks and shirts that swore while the girls couldn't wear leggings, short skirts, or crop tops. The disrespect!

What I mentioned was just a small portion of the mischief that the characters get into. Who knows how many scenarios in the show could relate to your life. Binge Big Mouth on Netflix now!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

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.
