Why Amy Schumer Should Be Your Best Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

For those of you who don’t know, Amy Schumer is one of the funniest comedians in the game. Not only is she the badass creator, writer, and star of her own TV show Inside Amy Schumer, but she also has no reservations when it comes to talking about sex, relationships, and the daily struggles of being a woman. She would be the equivalent of that best friend that will tell you, “Yes, your ass looks huge in those jeans.” As the ultimate figure of “girl power,” she upholds the woman’s perspective to a T. And here’s why she would make the best friend:

She knows what’s important in life. And what’s needed after a breakup:

 

She speaks to your inner workout “queen” and would have no problem leaving the Plex 15 minutes in.  

Her inspiring unapologetic nature would never fail you. And encourage you to call Dominos at 2am on a Wednesday.

Her honesty would keep your perspectives in check, and your phone PG.

 

Because she can give you the best pep talk you’ll ever hear:

 

But the main reason is because of this video. Taking down society’s obsession one “fudge-machine” phrase at a time.

Amy, you rock, and I wish you were my friend in real life. If you’re like me and love this woman, then you’ll be excited that her movie Trainwreck comes out this summer. The movie challenges gender roles and stomps stereotypes: a general theme of her’s. Check out the trailer here.
