Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

In Hollywood, there's always a famous family you wish you were apart of. In 2015, that family is the Hadid clan.

Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

If we're being honest, the Kardashian/Jenner family is cool and all but they're so last year. Yeah, yeah, we all love to hate them, but they got old quick.

Enter the Hadid family, the absolute coolest celebrity clan gaining major fame these days. They're made up of models, music producers/songwriters and a Real Housewife who is actually a pretty decent human. They're all beautiful, humble and extremely successful in their industries. With every bit of information I learn about the Hadids, the more I want to send adoption papers to their home.

Let's start with the matriarch of the house, Yolanda Hadid Foster.

Yolanda is mostly known for being a cast member of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but can also be credited for being a professional model and interior designer. She is arguably the most sane woman on RHOBW, so you know she's something special. When she was 16, she got signed to Ford Models and modeled in shows in major cities across the world. After 15 years of modeling, Yolanda settled down and had three children with now ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid. She remarried to David Foster in 2011.

Wow, those names sound familiar, huh?

David Foster is a Canadian musician, producer, songwriter, arranger and composer. He is responsible for basically every hit song to have ever hit the wavelengths. Foster has won 16 Grammys and has been nominated 47 times. 47 TIMES. He is the chairman of Verve Music Group and is worth an estimated $30 million. 

Oh, and Mohamed Hadid is a real estate developer with a net-worth of $100 million. He's the father of Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid. So, birthdays must be fun for the kids. 

Ah, the kids. Let's talk about these beautiful humans.

By now, every girl and nearly every guy has heard of 19-year-old Jelena "Gigi" Hadid. Since being signed to IMG Models in 2011, the stunning blonde with bedroom eyes has had her face all over the runways and recently signed a deal with Maybelline cosmetics. After her gig being the face of Guess Jeans in 2012, Gigi was named one of 12 rookies in Sports Illustrated annual issue this year, where she had her own spread. She has walked in the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week this past month. On top of currently being one of the fastest rising supermodels, she has impeccable style, a cool personality and is dating singer Cody Simpson. I wouldn't hate to be Gigi. 

Then, we have the middle child, Isabella "Bella" Hadid. The 18-year-old is following in big sister Gigi's steps and pursuing a modeling career as well. The dark-haired beauty is also signed to IMG Models (casual thing in the Hadid house, clearly). Bella just made her debut into the runway world in 2015's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where she walked for Tom Ford, alongside her big sis. Although Bella is now gaining some buzz, she already has quite the audience watching her with 500,000 followers on Instagram. This year, keep an eye out for the other half of the dynamic Hadid sister act. 

Of course, there a secret little weapon hiding amongst the fam. There's oldest Gigi, middle child Bella, and last but not least, little brother Anwar. The handsome 16-year-old is a big supporter of his older sisters, who he's super close with. He's always side by side with his family members in photos and red carpet events. According to Yolanda's personal website, Anwar has a similar love of architecture like his father. Considering the mentor the youngest Hadid has in that department, he could be on to big, big things. We're keeping an eye out for you, Anwar!

If you don't want to be a Hadid after this, you probably weren't reading close enough. Hadid > Kardashian. Case closed.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
