7 Things To Not Do When You Meet A Celebrity

I wish I would've thought of these earlier.

7 Things To Not Do When You Meet A Celebrity

We all have that dream of running into our favorite celebrity on the streets, them noticing us, then falling in love together and riding off into the sunset on a white stallion. When this day does come, because I have no doubt that it will, you should probably keep in mind these few tips. I'm here to help you seem emotionally stable to these magical humans, even when you feel like exploding on the inside.

1. Don't mess up your grammar when speaking to them.

When I was given the opportunity to meet Ben Platt after his performance in the musicalThe Book of Mormon, I shook his hand, looked him dead in the eye and said, "You're so well at what you do." In my defense, I was trying to say, "You did very well tonight," or, "You are great at what you do." I was just a little overly-excited and ended up combining the phrases and sounding illiterate.

2. Insult yourself as soon as you go to say, "Hello."

Example: My friend met Fifth Harmony and immediately just said, "Hello, I'm trash." That, shockingly enough, is not her name.

3. It's probably not in your best interest to ask them to autograph ridiculous things.

Boobs. Just, not the boobs.

4. Don't shout, "DAD!"

That's kinda weird.

5. Try not to release any bodily fluids in their presence.

For example, I'll probably be the first person to actually pee themselves in front of Taylor Swift. That's not going to be cool. Don't be like me.

6. Don't give them weird gifts.

Letters are cool. Scrapbooks are chill. Posters are dandy. But I really don't think Harry Styles needs another fangirl's bra to add to his collection.

7. Refrain from begging them to marry you.

I had to come to terms with the fact that Ed Sheehan does not need to have 900+ wives, so I'll give up on my "husband goals" with him for the greater good.

Everyone wants to leave a lasting impression on their favorite celebrity, and you can do this by just being chill. You don't want to scare these people away, only for them to go tell their other celebrity friends about the kid who tried to lick their ear and steal their belt.

DISCLAIMER: When the day comes that you hear about me meeting James Franco, I probably will not have followed any of these tips, but that's besides the point. Do as I say, not as I do.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
