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!"

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!

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.
