I reluctantly just began watching the television show Girls on HBO after a number of years of my sister asking me to do so, and all I have to say is: THANKS A LOT FOR NOTHING COURTNEY.
I don’t know if I just don’t understand Lena Dunham and Judd Apatow’s sense of humor but color me not impressed. To me, being an adult means buying your own toilet paper and I’m not 100% comfortable with that. If you were like me, or the 99% of other students through college who were able to coast off your parents for four additional years of child support, then you understand how I feel when I say, I’m like not that interested in being an adult.
But then I watch an episode of Girls and get an overwhelming feeling that the way Lena Dunham has interpreted adulthood is the most prétentieux way imaginable. (The french way of spelling pretentious just elevates the word to a level unworthy of this planet.)
I’ve just began an urban education graduate program in Washington D.C. and thanks to Girls, was extremely mislead on how city life would be. Granted I live in a much different environment then Brooklyn but I’m calling BS on that television show. Straight up.
Honestly the episodes are only 30 minutes long so if you’re looking for a TV show to waste your time on then go right ahead. Just know that I warned you. Oh and I’m also warning you that this show is basically soft-core porn thanks to the amount of times Lena Dunham feels the need to get naked. Otherwise, seriously do something better with your life. Go start a charity or I don’t know make a cake. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY OK?
That’s all for now. Sorry to those who actually follow this blog and have been feigning for a post like a heroin addict looking for the black brick. I’ve been busy living my life as a 21 (almost 22) year old girl in a big city ok?!
Also I wish I could share my search history after writing this post. It included this and more: -heroin, cocaine, bricks of drugs, what color is a heroin brick, Lena Dunham naked, girls, etc… I think you get the point. It just kept getting more and more outrageous and I had to stop.
