What is Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) doing on a friendship blog ?!👀 You're probably thinking of the above question. Anyone who has seen the movie would know how emotional Wednesday got at the end.😢 Disclaimer: There may be spoilers... a little but worth it.

Omg!! I watched the second season of The Sex Lives of College Girls. Guess what?? It was more appealing than I thought.👌 As a Nigerian, I guess some foreign comedies don't always do the magic. But I laughed so hard watching this season. Sometimes, I paused to get my head back in the game. The story centers around four girls in their first year at the prestigious Essex College. They are Kimberly, Leighton Murray, Bela, and Whitney. Disclaimer: there may be spoilers... very subtle but worth it.😋 Season one ended with Kimberly losing her scholarship after she cheated in an exam. She failed to prepare because she realized she was a sex addict after hooking up with Leighton's hot brother, Nico.💀 Enough tea there; let's move on.👅 Did I mention that they're all roommates?
