Why I Aspire To Be Part Of Sex And The City

After binge watching, which, how can you not- you'll forever wish you were part of this lifestyle.

I write too much about Netflix and series and shows. But honestly, I should do it for a career, because it's practically a 9-5 job that I definitely am devoted to. (Only it's 11-11 between classes.)

But this makes me wonder, if you binge watch a series because it's so good, is it OK to binge watch it again just in case you missed any good moments? (Call me Carrie.)

"Sex and the City" is a friend group of four girls: blonde, red RED head, brunette, and dirty/sandy/blonde brunette. Samantha, a popular PR agent; Miranda, a successful lawyer; Charlotte, consultant for an art gallery; and the main character Carrie, a sex and relationship columnist for the news paper. They each go through dating, marriages, sex problems, money, and living in NYC. Does it get better?

(Special tip: there are most definitely graphic sexual scenes almost every season, mostly between the character Samantha and her latest squeeze. And provocative and sexual language, anytime you see the four main characters sitting for breakfast.)

It is a fantastic show. It's inappropriate enough, funny enough, and almost too relatable. I've said these things before, but I'll say it undeniably again: it's just perfect. It's enough romance and relationships, with a perfect balance of comedy and awkward, awful situations you hope never happen to you. And they're all adults. No children, no high schoolers. (Some college students when the main characters decide to cougar it out, I will admit.) It's just fantastic. And although they're usually older than the viewing group, they become relatable to all ages with dating, teenage years, and future advice for husbands and dating.

Each season comes with its own lesson for every girl. Mistakes as small as can be, and as large as you can imagine. Illnesses, accidental pregnancies, engagements called off, and marriages and future plans that just won't seem to happen. And they get through it all, with the help of their best friends at the end of every day.

Each character is different, and before you know it, you'll be deciding which one closely represents your friend group.


Samantha. Samantha is usually the favorite character, with something witty and sexual to always respond with. She would never judge a friend and seems to thoroughly enjoy the judgment she constantly receives from her close friends. She's confident, open with her sexuality, and never afraid to say what's on her mind or what she wants.

Charlotte. She's pristine, classy, fancy, and always put together. She's the only one always shown in scenes working out, dressed to perfection, discussing art, or shaming Samantha for her usage of pen*s and pu**y, and other vulgar terms at brunch and in public. She never discusses her sex life, and gets through every personal battle without quitting or negativity, and is always spewing the motivational soul-mate phrases you see on your aunt's Pinterest. Somewhat annoying to the over the top friend group in being so opposite- you still find yourself aspiring to be her as a grown woman.

Miranda. Miranda with fire red hair certainly has the personality to match. She has a lot of personal quirks that interfere with her relationships, but you find yourself agreeing with all of them at the end of the day. She is every woman's goal as an independent woman who defends her leadership and success at work each day and doesn't try to let men affect her as much as others.

Carrie. Carrie is the epitome of teen and mid-twenties dreams for the future. She has an amazing job that seems so fun, and makes you think you could become a writer simply because funny things happen to you once in a while. She's emotional when needed, expresses herself, and rocks every bad situation that happens to her. Including the WORST break up imaginable. And does everything in style.


This montage of episodes (AND TWO MOVIES) cannot express enough in writing, or so too much. So to end this article, here are some funny clips from the series.

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.
