Two Broads In A Broad City

I have three words for you: "YAS, YAS, YAS!"

Every once in a while, there comes a show that just gets it and is so beyond relatable, you have no idea what you were wasting your time watching before it. "Broad City" is three seasons deep and airs on Comedy Central and if you aren't already watching it, you should be. No other sitcom manages to cover a wide range of topics spanning from women's rights to how ~amazing~ Bed Bath and Beyond is in a hilarious and witty way. Here's why "Broad City" is the best.

1. Feminism is a major character trait for both Abbi and Ilana.

Ilana and Abbi are both very confident and aim to empower each other and other women. Whenever they're confronted by someone belittling them based on something trivial, like their gender, they don't let them get away with it without saying something.


2. They both find themselves in life moments everyone faces at one point or another.

Take for instance trying to talk to someone you like. Abbi had a huge crush on the guy who lives across the hall from her, Jeremy, and couldn't even talk to him without it being awkward. Everyone has acted weird around someone they liked, Abbi's struggles are struggles we all can empathize with.


3. They show what life will be (sorta) like after graduating college and being an adult.

Sure, it's not the most glamorous lifestyle but you can totally have fun and express yourself while you do it. It won't always be easy but with a great best friend by your side, nothing can bring you down.

4. Ilana and Abbi have a perfect BFF relationship.

The girls have each others back through every situation they face. Crappy boys, losing apartment keys and shellfish allergies can't keep these two down. If you don't want a relationship like theirs, you're lying.

5. You'll appreciate all the pop culture and real world references.

"Broad City" covers a lot of topics that are relevant to everyone in 2016, but not all their topics are overbearingly serious. The serious side of the show is still handled with comedy so it's never overbearing or too heavy.

6. Jamie is adorable.

Jamie (pronounced Hi-mey) is Ilana's Hispanic roommate who is one of the best side characters the show offers. He's dramatic, honest and super sweet. The episode where he becomes an American citizen will definitely leave you smiling.

Ilana and Abbi are just two girls making their way through New York. Broad City is as witty as its punny title and is a refreshing change from what's normally shown on television. The adventures they get into and how they handle them are oddly inspiring. You'll love every episode, they'll have you saying "Yas, Queen!"

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
