Why You Might Be Hannah From 'Girls' Too

Have you ever watched a show and realized you and the protagonist are the same person?

Why You Might Be Hannah From 'Girls' Too

Over fall break, a friend and I were recommended to watch "Girls." I had heard a bit about the series, but heard it was pretty raunchy, yet hilarious enough to power through those scenes. We binge watched three seasons in three days. With each episode, the protagonist, Hannah Horvath, became more and more relatable. She is Jessica Day with a twist and more tattoos. Every other scene I couldn't help but say, "Crap, she's me." And here is why.

People may question my maturity at times, but I know where I stand.

Lean Cuisine.

Someone asks, "Are you busy?" Hell yes, I am. I'm busy figuring out what exactly my life is going to look like next week; anything beyond that is entirely irrelevant at this moment in time.

It's still Christmas break and that is all I currently know.

If I had a FitBit my steps would maybe make it to 5,000 on a good day. I also took a nap yesterday...

...for five hours.

We thrive on the same compliments, even if we can't properly accept them.

"You are a good writer." And you've swooned me for life.

Sometimes the best way to express yourself is through song lyrics. Doesn't even matter what it sounds like, you do you.

"Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt."

Physical activity is our niche.

Just kidding. I struggle to breath walking up a flight of stairs.

Pushing the limits with fashion choices is a part of who we are.

I won't insult your crop top, if you don't insult my pattern-on-pattern attire.

When people say things we don't agree with, it is dealt with the same way.

My facial expression hides nothing.

Going home means one thing: free food.

No, Mom, I have no idea what happened to all the groceries you just bought.

If we see a creature in need of a home, we will create space for it.

Puppies always have a special spot.

There is no shame in having a sweet tooth.

Yes, I would eat a cupcake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

We recognize even Wednesdays have potential for greatness.

Let the weekend begin.

Space is necessary for self-expression.

And it's possible we get irritable without it.

And lastly, she's just trying to make her words matter to someone in some kind of way.

Just a writer trying to finish sentences.

Thank you Lena Dunham for bringing my spirit animal to light.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
