Every group of girlfriends likes to assign Sex And The City characters to its members. Chances are, more than one person declares herself a Carrie, everyone is in agreement about who the Charlotte of the group is, and one brave soul proudly declares herself the Samantha…. but no one wants to be Miranda.
As the least glamorous, most pessimistic member of the group, Miranda was definitely not the fan favorite. Thanks to Cynthia Nixon’s spot-on portrayal, Miranda annoyed more than a few people. But I say, what’s so bad about being the Miranda of the group? It just means you’re brilliant, successful, levelheaded and never afraid to speak your mind. Keep in mind that Miranda didn’t just have a great job, she also had incredibly loyal friends, a seriously healthy relationship with a man who loved her unconditionally, a beautiful baby boy and the strength to always demand she be treated the right way. Aren’t those all pretty badass things?
So check out these telltale signs that you may have a bit of Mirandain you….and if you do, embrace the hell out of it.
1. You’ve been dreaming about a law career since you were little.
Mostly because you’ve never lost an argument.
2. Given choice between The Economist and Us Weekly, you’d pick the former every time.
You like to know about what’s happening in the world and you just can’t bring yourself to care about the Kardashians.
3. If a guy didn’t go to a great school, you want nothing to do with him.
You believe that education is power and though you have nothing against people who didn’t go to college, you feel like you can only connect with an educated guy. Just make sure you don’t forget that intelligence comes in so many different forms.
4. You’ve told more than one friend that she needs to dump the guy she’s seeing.
Because friendship means brutal honesty at all costs.
5. You’ve confronted your friends boyfriends when they’ve done something shady.
Some people call it intrusive, you call it protective.
6. You love your friends to death…
But have very little patience for their incessant gossip.
7. You won ‘most opinionated’ in high school.
You had a pretty extreme opinion about it.
8. You don’t mind asking a guy how much money he makes early in the relationship.
You like to know what you’re getting yourself into.
9. You think the idea of ‘soulmates’ is complete crap.
Because you’d rather choose who you end up with.
10. You’ve skipped plenty of nights out to stay in and study.
Whatever. You’ll be incredibly successful when it’s all said and done.
