How The Kardashians Rule Society

Our favorite TV family may just be everything we shouldn't be.

How The Kardashians Rule Society
Hello Giggles

We all know them, either hating them, wishing we were them, or hoping to be best friends with them.

I confess from time to time, I find myself creeping on an Instagram or two insanely jealous of the $40,000 bracelets on the wrist of a 17-year-old… but it passes soon after knowing that she wears college tuition on her arm.

I guess you can blame social media and paparazzi for their fame and fortune, but I blame us; society. We all seem to be fascinated with this family for no apparent reason, maybe because of their 9 different Porsche models sitting in their driveways, or the

I think why so many people become fascinated with this family is because we all somehow think we can do what they do, become famous, and rule the entire Entertainment Network. Working hard and becoming successful does not necessarily mean you have to become famous to matter…. That is not a reality for many people. Every year they seem to become bigger and bigger, creating new brands, advertising new TV. Series, and traveling the globe. I only wish this could be a reality for everyone, but it isn’t, and truthfully won’t ever be.

To the young girls watching “Keeping up with the Kardashians” everyday on E-Network, this just makes me sad beyond belief that this family has become such huge icons/role models to many of these girls. Wanting the latest and greatest without working for it, expecting to be able to travel to Paris on the weekends just because, and being able to attend a Kanye concert weekly, it just isn’t reality. Treating them as royalty can make you feel less of a person, and cause jealousy overload if not carefully dealt with. Not all is bad about this family, but it’s sometimes hard to focus on the good due to the everyday tweets and Insta-posts of the newest mansion purchased by one of the sisters.

I must say, I give them credit for marketing themselves to become one of the most well known families on television today. From the creation of the DASH stores, to the magazine spreads, and the special appearances made, they all do very well in keeping their customer base rather updated in their day to day lives. I will always believe there are far more important things going on in this world that needs media attention rather than the Kardashian family drama of the week, and I do think people need to become more aware of that. I hope one day people can turn off the TV and go exploring, read a book, or play the guitar instead of fixating on the next Kardashian family that comes along.

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.

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.
