The Paramount Keeps it Real with Carly Aquilino

Carly Aquilino, from the MTV hit series Girl Code will be coming to The Paramount on September 26^th. Carly, originally from Commack, N.Y., has been described by audience members as “funny” and by her father as “a huge mistake” but one thing is for sure, she gives great advice on the sisterhood that all women share. 

  

When you are looking for a potential roommate, be prepared with questions.

If you don’t know how to bond with your dad and sports aren't your thing.

Having a bad hair day? Don’t cover it up with a fedora.

Beer before liquor will make you sicker; liquor before beer you’re in the clear, right?

And if you had too many to drink, apologize in the morning because 90% of the time it won’t make sense.

You don't have to trust EVERYONE.

Sometimes going to a house party is way better than hosting one.

Always use birth control.

Girls might be just as disgusting as guys, but at least we can cover it up.

Carly Aquilino keeps it real 100% of the time, so see her live on September 26th, tickets are still available!
