Two Broads In A Broad City

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

Two Broads In A Broad City

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!"

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.

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.
