20 Everyday Challenges That Movies & TV Make Look So Easy

9. I Just Want To Sleep With You

I know there are movies where the drama of a friends with benefits relationship revolves around the fact that one or both parties want something more. It is not these characters that I reference in this entry. It is the characters who have random sex with random people and come away clean in the end. Even if you set out to have a one-night stand, it is nearly impossible to forget about the person you just spent the night with. Even if it is only for a few days, we feel guilty despite our partner€™s ability to walk away from us just as easily. Samantha on Sex and the City has no problem kicking a man out of bed once she€™s done with him without feeling the effects of pesky human emotion. How is it so easy for them to kick one night stands to the curb?

8. Thinking Clearly Under Pressure

thinking clearly] I have seen so many movies and TV shows that make me question my own composure. Characters get away with heroic ideas that lead to capturing the bad guy while the clock is ticking and just watching them makes my ability to think weaker! I have been in a few situations (realizing an assignment is due, forgetting to get a birthday present, etc.) where my mind, instead of centering around one solution, bounces back and forth, racing through the catalogue of possible outs. On very rare occasions will my brain produce something viable, though it is always with seconds left on the clock. If only I could channel my inner horror movie survivor, I could probably get things done quicker.
