"Guys, I&amp;#x27;m going to start off by saying I&amp;#x27;m a big fan of last night&amp;#x27;s episode of Girls because it&amp;#x27;s way more fun when everybody&amp;#x27;s all together a la the brilliant Hannah/Elijah house party last season. This time, the occasion was for Hannah&amp;#x27;s 25th birthday party, which added another layer to the episode for me as I recently celebrated my 25th birthday too. We both held ours in similar-looking NYC bars, but I think that was the only similarity&amp;amp;#8212;no bar fights, the majority of my friends have jobs, my boyfriend gave me a present that wasn&amp;#x27;t his tooth on a necklace, etc. I think Sosh put it best re: Hannah, Marnie, and Jessa when she told them, &amp;quot;It&amp;amp;#8217;s really amazing that you all have accomplished so little since college.&amp;amp;#8221; So, in that spirit, let&amp;#x27;s check back where these girls were at in their life this time (that is, episode 3) during seasons 1 and 2. With age, are they older and wiser? Or is Sosh right and they&amp;#x27;ve accomplished little? Hannah Season 1: In the third episode of the freshman season, Hannah finds out she has HPV. She confronts her not-yet-boyfriend Adam, but he claims it&amp;#x27;s not him. I don&amp;#x27;t believe him, but Hannah does, so she confronts her college ex, Elijah, who is gay. Season 2: For the sake of a story, Hannah gets coke from her neighbor Laird and goes clubbing with now-roommate Elijah. He reveals that he had kinda-sorta sex with Marnie, so she tracks down Marnie and calls her a &amp;quot;bad friend.&amp;quot; Then she ends the episode by hooking up with Laird (again for the sake of a story). Season 3: Hannah and Adam are happy in love, and all her friends (except, where&amp;#x27;s Elijah?!) and parents show up to celebrate her birthday. Unfortunately, the night ends on a sour note when Adam&amp;#x27;s crazy sister, Caroline, shows up&amp;amp;#8212;at first things seem odd, but fine, until a pantsless Caroline breaks a glass in her hand and somehow instantly makes everybody else on the show seem saner and normal. Older and wiser? I think so. Her e-book is on track, she&amp;#x27;s in a committed, happy relationship, and her OCD is in check. Making progress, Hannah! Marnie Season 1: Marnie&amp;#x27;s still dating Charlie (and still has her job), but she meets artist Booth Jonathan for the first time and he tells her &amp;quot;I want you to know the first time I f-ck you, I might scare you a little because I&amp;#x27;m a man, and I know how to do things.&amp;quot; She masturbates in the bathroom, then goes home and dances with Hannah to Robyn. Season 2: Now working as a sexy hostess (and single), Marnie runs into Booth Jonathan again. He takes her back to his apartment, locks her inside his weird art installation, and then they have sex. Season 3: OMG, season 3 will be forever known for bringing us the brilliantly embarrassing video Marnie made with Charlie, and now that they&amp;#x27;re broken up he won&amp;#x27;t take it off YouTube. Yikes. She&amp;#x27;s also still without a career track, but at least that gave her plenty of time to plan Hannah&amp;#x27;s birthday&amp;amp;#8212;so that&amp;#x27;s something? Older and wiser? Eh, Marnie&amp;#x27;s still heading down her path of self-discovery. She and Charlie are officially done, and she is semi-pursuing a singing career, I think? Jessa Season 1: Somehow, Jessa manages to score a job as a babysitter&amp;amp;#8212;only to compromise that by smoking pot and flirting with the dad. Season 2: We don&amp;#x27;t spend time with Jessa this episode, but she&amp;#x27;s still married to Thomas-John and (for the time being) happy. Season 3: Fresh off rehab, Jessa is pretty low-key this episode. She does show up for Hannah&amp;#x27;s birthday though, which I think is a major accomplishment when it comes to always-flaky Jessa. Older and wiser? Jessa thinks she&amp;#x27;s older and wiser&amp;amp;#8212;but I have a feeling this season is going to be a series of highs and lows (as it always is, every year) for her. Shoshanna Season 1: Not much from Sosh this episode. She&amp;#x27;s still a virgin but tells Hannah that it&amp;#x27;s OK she has HPV because Jessa has it and says that all adventurous women do. Season 2: This time around, Sosh is still pretty absent from the episode, but she&amp;#x27;s dating Ray! Season 3: Single Sosh is living the Ciroc-ad life&amp;amp;#8212;meaning she now smokes cigarettes and invited a random guy to the bar to meet up. Ray, who accidentally meets her new hookup, confronts her for an awkward talk: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t think I want to be friends with you. I just don&amp;#x27;t. I don&amp;#x27;t want to be polite with you...enjoy your evening, enjoy your life. Cool cigarette.&amp;quot; Older and wiser? Sosh might have more world experience under her belt now, but she&amp;#x27;s as lost as ever. Well, all in all, it seems like Sosh was right! What did you think of the episode?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
