The Wednesday Series is worth the hype! I finally watched it after its debut on Netflix on November 23rd, 2022. 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. Wednesday resumes at Nevermore Academy, a school for outcasts, after brutally handling a bully who messed with her brother. He lost a testicle, ouch!👽 Wednesday gets introduced to Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), who is her roommate. They are the opposite of each other.

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? So cool! And each one of them had sex in that room at least once, gross!👀 Season 2 Trailer: The series has a lot of adventure, but I'd only tell you my thoughts and some occurrences about their fri...

Johnny Drille's New Single.  I've listened to this song on repeat several times, and I thought it would be nice to blog about it since it has a significant relationship with friendship. Talented Nigerian singer-songwriter, John Ighodaro, professionally known as  Johnny Drille released a new single titled 'How Are You (My Friend)'  in October 2022. This new single is produced by Don Jazzy of Mavins Records and it has gone viral, even on the popular app, TikTok . How Johnny Drille managed to give a concise summary of friendship in this 3 minutes song is exceptional and it should be studied. He included the ups and downs of friendship, gave reassurance of the bond, and put the icing on the cake by maintaining the concrete love friends share through the lyrics . The song is emotional, soothing, and impeccable!
