Here's Why We Need Another Season Of "Sex And The City"

It has been way too many years since the last season of "Sex and the City" aired, yet we are all still obsessed. We can sit and watch reruns for hours even though we already know exactly what is going to happen. It is almost as if the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte were ones that we wanted to have, and by watching season after season we were able to imagine what life would be like as women in "Sex and the City."

We all had that one favorite character that we wanted to be in our next life. Mine happened to be Carrie and sometimes when I sit here and write, I feel like I am just like her without the amazing shoes, an apartment in the city and my own Big.

We love imagining our lives as the characters and many years later we are still obsessing over the show. I think now would be a perfect time for another season.

1. We are still watching reruns... 12 years later.

Enough said. We are still binge-watching a show that is over a decade old. A new season at this point would be much more entertaining.

2. The women's lives were a complete fantasy and we could continue to fantasize with them every second.

Carrie was a freelance writer, never had to worry about a deadline and could still afford fancy shoes and a nice studio apartment. Charlotte had the perfect little New York job as a gallery girl; how many people can still make a living off of just being a gallery girl? Samantha made PR work look easy, how many times in the show was she actually working, anyway? Miranda's life was a bit less of a fantasy, having the serious job as the lawyer, but she still had it easy, too. Either way, we love the fantasy aspect.

3. The show was better than any sex ed class we ever took in high school and sometimes a refresher course is needed.

I definitely learned more from watching "Sex and the City" about sex than I actually did in school. Everything you needed to know about vibrators to threesomes, you learned from watching, and all the weird, kinky things that you were afraid to try in the bedroom, you knew Samantha Jones has tried once before. That was your sign of reassurance.

4. We are currently lacking in the entertainment world that has a show with that much fashion and glamour.

Can you think of a current show that has as much fashion and glamour as "Sex and the City" had? Carrie's closet of shoes was enough to make me drool. Can we also talk about how glamorous the women looked even just going to Sunday brunch? Yes, that is also part of the fantasy, but still the fashion and glamour was unreal.

5. We can still hum the opening instrumental every single time.

Let's face it, that tune is never getting old. We could hear it without seeing the TV screen and still vividly picture Carrie as she walks down the street, gets splashed by a truck going through a puddle and then sees herself on the side of a city bus. It is never going to get old.

6. We need a reminder that women can be independent and successful.

Although the women of "Sex and the City" are fictional characters they have taught us the importance of being strong independent women and that women can be successful all on their own. The reality stars that we spend so much time watching now do not depict true independent women.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
