Ariana Grande Has Offended Us Once Again

In a recent Instagram post, Ariana Grande boldly declared herself as "the hardest working 23-year-old human being on Earth." Many on the internet did not feel too enthused to agree.

Being a musician can be very difficult, and there is no doubt that this "Dangerous Woman" puts a lot of effort into working hours upon hours to do what she does, but this statement really offended a lot of people.

A 23-year-old mother wrote an opinion piece in reply to Grande's comment. "I started off at $10.50 an hour working nights, sitting at a table staring at thousands of little pieces of metal, packing them into boxes and sending them on their way. I was ale to work my way up enough that I now work in a nice, air-conditioned lab on day shift making $21.50 and hour." She further describes her life of growing up in a broken home and becoming the adult she is today.

A Twitter user also posted "... like there aren't 23-year-olds out [here] working 4 jobs to stay in their tiny apartments." Another user sarcastically agreed with the pop star's comment, "Yea Arianna Grande is the hardest working 23-year-old on Earth not the ones struggling making 60 cents a day trying to provide for their families."

The caption seen around the world was posted with a picture of the singer on Saturday, January 14th, and has not been deleted; who knows if it ever will be? Despite the backlash from those who took offense, there are also people who are on Grande's side and have no hesitation when it comes to defending her.

One Twitter user tweeted that Grande is "like the hardest working female recording artist! the girl works non stop!" while another thanked the pop star in a tweet for "always working the hardest for us [the fans]," before the Instagram post even existed.

The chaos from the caption has simmered down on social media, especially now that Inauguration Day has passed and there will be more important issues to focus on than a singer's caption on a social media post.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
