The time has finally come. Julia reacts to the series finale of HBO's beloved, "Euphoria." While Julia is still enticing, beguiling, interesting, and as funny as ever, this episode goes deep. Join this day one Zendaya stan as she emotionally says bye to her close personal friend, Rue Bennett. The finale was not perfect (you still could not pay Julia to want to hear Alamo tell Maddy she needs to have his cocoa-colored babies (like what)), but Euphoria was a beautiful and usually very raw show that introduced us to both the struggles and beauty of a character that will go down in popular culture history, so eloquently and honestly portrayed by Zendaya Coleman. Julia wishes Rue Bennett nothing but eternal peace, and she hopes you do as well. 

Be present for this episode... laugh, cry, hold hands with a loved one, and remember the kind, Converse-wearing soul we patiently awaited to see on our screens every Sunday night. 

Regardless of what you think of the show, please accompany Julia on this farewell to Ruby "Rue" Bennett, and let us remember and celebrate her forever! <3
