Ten times Shoshanna was so damn relatable
Whether it’s because of her minute-a-mile talking or her undeniably quirky hairstyles, you’ve probably fallen head over heels in love with Shoshanna Shiparo as much as I did. But in reality, it’s probably her outbursts of real talk and her innocent outlook on life that have you thinking YES SHOSH. She is, by far, our favourite least virgin-y virgin ever and the best and most relatable character there is on HBO’s Girls.
As much as we love her self-obsessed girl squad of Marnie, Hannah and Jessa, Shosh has a whole lot of sass that proves she is the spirit animal of all Millennials. If you aren't #teamshosh then you're about to be – these are all the times she was so damn low-key all of us in every single way.
That time she got drunk AF and lost her shit
We’ve all been Shoshanna at one point in our lives – unheard and ignored. But sometimes it takes more than a few tequila shots to let a drunk mind speak a sober heart.
“Sometimes I wonder if my social anxiety is holding me back from meeting the people who would actually be right for me, instead of a bunch of whiny nothings as friends.”
When she did something like really, really bad and made an internet dating profile
Tinder, Bumble… we’ve been there, done that, and are probably still doing it. You know that feeling when someone asks “Are you on Tinder?” You hesitate to answer because you know it's bad but it's also kinda terrifyingly good.
“His name is Bryce, which like, hello, good name. He works in product development, which is, like, perfect for me because I love products.”
Who hasn’t avoided dating someone because they have a bad name?

When she compares herself to (almost) every Sex and the City character
It's only human nature for any SATC fan to think, wow I am so Carrie. This is such a Charlotte moment. I am seriously Samantha RN.
“I think I’m definitely a Carrie at heart but, like, sometimes, sometimes Samantha kind of comes out, and then when I'm at school I try and put on my Miranda-hat.”
When she asks Adam what his favourite utensil is
Have you ever looked at a pair of tongs or a really good spoon and realised how much your life would be in shambles without it?
Yes.
“Like, why would you want cold metal prongs stabbing you in the tongue, when instead you could have food, like, delivered into your mouth on a soft, pillowy cloud?”
Dealing with her quarter-life crisis in the sassiest way possible
“My life is a mess and I know that was a personal choice but maybe it's time for me to un-choose that choice.”
We've all been there.
When she comes to terms with how realistically shithouse people can be
PREACH.
Her 'crackcident'
She thinks she's a whole lot more experienced than she truly is – haven't we all thought that? A glass cigarette is probably the classiest way one can describe a crack pipe, and we can't love Shosh enough for that.
“Oh my god. Don't tell my mum. Don't even tell me.”
#bless.
Her consistent and brutal honesty with her best gal pals
“It's really amazing that all three of you have accomplished so little in the four years since college.”
Shosh is the friend who tells it exactly how it is. We hate it, but love it and admire her honesty. Be more like Shoshanna.
When she proves the importance of social media stalking in the dating game
A face and a first name is enough for any professional Facebook stalker. It's a challenge, but we get there eventually.
She might be perceived as the least intellectual of the Girls characters, but she's the wisest in our books.
