Why "Broad City" Has My Heart
Hippo Quotes

A few months ago, I did an article featuring some of my favorite TV shows. Broad City was included in this list. I wish I had discovered this show a few years back, but I’m glad I know about it now. When I first began watching it, I kept wondering what the hell was going on.

We have two main characters, Abbi Abrams and Ilana Wexler. They are two twenty-something young women living in NYC. The show focuses on the highs and lows of their lives, but it does it in a different way that isn’t seen very often on typical TV shows. These girls have sex with whoever they want, whenever they want (feminism!) and they aren’t afraid to tell it like it is to cat-calling strangers.


The thing I love most about their friendship is obviously the dynamic of it all. They are like sisters, and their personalities complement each other so very well. Most people who have seen the show may feel that Ilana is the more bold and brash girl out of the duo, but Abbi has plenty of amazing qualities as well.


One of my favorite episodes that truly highlights their friendship is “The Last Supper,” the finale of season 1. In this episode, it is Abbi’s birthday and the girls go out to eat at a very fancy restaurant. Ilana orders several helpings of seafood, even though she’s allergic to it. She nonchalantly mentions it to Abbi while also explaining how she brought her Epi Pen with her. Who does something like that? Ilana Wexler.

Of course, she ends up having an allergic reaction but Abbi accidentally stabs herself in the thigh with the Epi Pen. Together, the girls end up in the hospital.


The scene of them sharing a hospital bed while also sharing a dessert from the restaurant, while describing their bucket-list, is such a cute scene. It gets cuter when they are released and they engage in more girl talk. The very end scene truly depicts what a great friendship the girls have.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
