It's a woman's dating Bible.

Carrie Bradshaw’s authentically kittenish dialogue in the award-winning TV show "Sex And The City" serves as not only a narrative of the show’s storyline but a guideline of romance for the audience. Bradshaw reveals the ups and downs regarding dating, friendships, and the unpredictable events life hands us through the spontaneity, drama, and life lessons she and her friends experience throughout the show.

While Carrie and her best friends, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda, all seek their individual romantic paths on their journeys to find love in the Big Apple, they are faced with many (and I mean many) romantic adversities that we can all relate to on a spiritual level.


When dealing with the drama that comes along with our quests to find “the one,” sometimes we lose sight of how to navigate our way through the dating life and tend to become the psychotic, boy crazy women we claim we never will become.

However, "Sex And The City" reminds us that as women, it is our nature to freak out over an unanswered call, or in today’s generation, an answered Snap and that it is acceptable to be crazy (in some circumstances).

Every Sex And The City fan can say she (or he) has four additional best friends: Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte. The characters in the series are not only relatable, but they are honest and touchingly real as they undergo the struggles almost every woman faces at one point in her life. You literally feel as if you are sitting with your girlfriends yourself when you turn on the show.

One of the most genuine aspects of this series is the raw conversations between the women regarding their sex lives. "Sex And The City" aired between 1998 and 2004, a time before today’s pivotal gender equality movements and especially a time when society placed such a restrictive idea of how women should act.

However, "Sex And The City" is simply iconic for saying "fuck it" to society’s ladylike expectations for women, revealing the conversations women actually have behind closed doors. Surprise, boys, you aren’t the only ones who talk about your sex lives.


Overall, this show is undoubtedly not only a woman’s guilty pleasure, but a safe haven, judgement-free zone, and lifestyle guide to tackle romance. "Sex And The City" puts women's sexual shame to rest and invigorates female sexuality, independence, and confidence. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you start binge-watching now.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
