Sorry, But Ariana and Pete Are Not #RelationshipGoals

There's nothing enviable about rushing into things.

Actually, I'm not sorry.

Unless you live under a rock, or just never check social media, chances are you've heard by now that pop star Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson got engaged within weeks of reports that they had just begun "casually seeing each other".

And in the blink of the eye, they're suddenly one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood (JBiebs and Hailey are up there, too.) They've become extremely public about their relationship on Instagram, from dressing up in Hogwarts robes together to showing off their tattoos for one another. It all moved extremely fast, and honestly, it's kind of scary.

I don't dislike either celebrity, and I don't hate public relationships. But I simply cannot get behind an engagement after only weeks of dating.

Both Grande and Davidson are in their early twenties, and both have incredible careers ahead of them. What's with the sudden rush to get married? How well can they possibly know each other? Don't they think that they're just setting themselves up for failure?

While I understand that they are both individuals very capable of making their own decisions, Grande especially should have some grasp on the message this sends to young fans. They now idolize a young woman who thinks a couple months of dating is sufficient enough to last a lifetime.

I don't intend to discredit either Grande or Davidson on their incredible success in their respective industries. If it was cute couple pictures on Instagram, lovey-dovey comments on each other's accounts, and a simple (very public) summer romance, I would have no problem with this. But what's enviable about rushing into things? What are we teaching young girls about what love truly means?

I'm all for love at first sight, and I am the most rom-com obsessed person you may ever meet, but Ariana and Pete are not my #relationshipgoals.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
