TV SHOWS

  • HBO’s Girls
    • all six seasons. no exceptions.
  • Sex and the City
    • watching the entire show is required. extra credit for the first movie. Box brownies for the second movie. automatic zero for watching And Just Like That.

    • extra credit if u recite the “i want someone to tell me what to wear every morning” monologue for the class
