I wrote this years ago but I still like it lots: \u2018The purpose of a 90\u2019s sitcom is to tell us everyone is capable of every behavior. There\u2019ll be the episode where the cool guy embarrasses himself compulsively, the episode where the nice girl acts like a jerk, the episode in which the reasonable one acts crazy, and so on. I had a crush on a barista once. I sat by the counter with part II of The Man Without Qualities saying to her that I should really be studying French instead because I\u2019ll have to be able to write PhD-level papers on Robbe-Grillet soon, once I choose whether I\u2019m saying yes to Yale or Harvard. If I hadn\u2019t watched about a hundred episodes of \u2018Friends\u2019 during my tweens I would have had to kill myself that night.\u2019
