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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
