Here is a list of things you should care A LOT MORE ABOUT than some dumb celebrity beef. I'm not one to say I don't love good gossip, but now is not the time or place to be putting this silly 'war' in the spotlight.

2016 has been a bit of a mess. Its like the reel of clips they show at the beginning of all those 'the world is ending' films that show how the planet got to this point of destruction.

People are dying in the streets across the nation and around the world, a racist, idiotic, and misogynistic asshole is running for the highest position in government, and the world hurts in too many countries.

Here are things you should care much more about than Taylor Swift and Kanye West:

1. Turkey's president has declared a state of emergency for three months following Friday night's failed army coup.

600 schools have been shut down and thousands upon thousands of state employees have been fired or removed.

2. Nearly 60 civilians were killed in a US airstrike on the ISIS-held city of Manbij in Syria, a prominent rights group says.

US- led coalition against ISIS results in death of nearly 60 Syrian civilians.

3. Baton Rouge Shooter Called Cop Killings 'Necessary Evil' In Last Email

Before he killed three Baton Rouge officers, Gavin Long sent a handwritten note in which he called the killings a "necessary evil" aimed at creating "substantial change in America's police forces."

4. Cop bias is real, study shows. So is pessimism about race relations.

The National Bureau of Economic Research and Pew Research Center publish studies concerning the populations views and thoughts towards race relations in America.

5. Cop shoots caretaker of autistic man playing in the street with toy truck

An unarmed black man was shot in the street while looking after an autistic man.

6. France Extends State Of Emergency For 6 Months After Nice Truck Attack

French lawmakers approved a six-month state of emergency on Wednesday after last week’s truck attack in Nice, the third deadly assault in just 18 months for which Islamist militants have claimed responsibility.

7. Elite Private School Accused Of Shielding Sex Abuser

New court filings accuse Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California, of shielding a problem teacher who taught at other elite schools before pleading guilty to sex abuse last year.

8. Rio Olympics: IOC Delays Decision on Banning Russia Over Doping

The International Olympic Committee said it would weigh the options of a collective ban versus "the right to individual justice" in regards to the non-involved athletes. The competitors and coaches from the Sochi Winter Games in 2014 will also be re-tested.

9. This cat's paws


Now please, focus on the important stuff.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
