| What Happened To Sydney Sweeney In Euphoria |
Season 1 Cassie: All Glitter and Games
Remember the innocent days of Cassie? Season 1 Cassie was all about glitter eye shadow, low-rise jeans, and being the supportive best friend to Zendaya's Rue. Sure, she had a thing for the resident bad boy, Nate Jacobs (which, let's be honest, half the school did), but things were relatively chill.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Season 2 Cassie: The Nate Jacobs Debacle
Then Season 2 hit, and Cassie went full-on Euphoria. Blinking neon lights and questionable outfit choices aside, Cassie became obsessed with Nate, even though he was, well, Nate (terrible human being extraordinaire). This culminated in that now-legendary bathroom scene where Cassie...well, let's just say it involved Nate, a locked door, and a very unhappy Maddy (Cassie's BFF, remember?). Things went from bad to worse, with Cassie seemingly throwing away her friendships and self-respect for a guy who wouldn't know loyalty if it bit him in the perfectly-sculpted face.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
So, what's next for Cassie?
Euphoria Season 3 is still under wraps, but one thing's for sure: Cassie can't keep going down this path. Will she finally ditch Nate and rediscover her glitter-loving, BFF-appreciating self? Will she find a new love interest who actually deserves her? Only Sam Levinson, the show's creator (and resident mastermind of teenage angst), knows. But one thing's for sure, we'll be glued to our screens waiting to find out.

**## Euphoria: A Guide to Keeping Your BFFs (and Your Dignity) **
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
In case you're taking notes from Cassie on how not to navigate high school friendships, here's a quick guide:
- Friends before flings: Guys come and go (especially in Euphoria), but good friends are worth their weight in glitter.
- Respect boundaries: Just because someone is cute doesn't mean they get a free pass to disrespect you or your friends.
- Be yourself: You don't need to morph into someone else to impress someone. The right person will love you for who you are (hopefully with slightly less drama than Cassie attracts).
