Don't Talk To Me About Celebrities, Unless It's Billie Eilish

Seriously, there are no exceptions...except for maybe Khalid.

Don't Talk To Me About Celebrities, Unless It's Billie Eilish

I've never been a fangirl of any band or celebrity. I've never understood the obsessions some people form, from 1D to the Bieber era to the Kardashians and beyond, I've yet to hop on any of those bandwagons.

It's not that I don't appreciate a lot of the things celebrities do, especially when it comes to artists. I have such a passion for music, but my passion ends right there- at the music. I don't feel it necessary to spend time watching over the lives people I will most likely never meet, because I barely have time to keep track of myself.

Around 2 years ago, a song popped up on my Spotify discover that I hadn't heard before, and it became one of my favorites of all time. I threw 'Ocean Eyes' into all of my playlists, and didn't think much more of it. Soon after, more songs by Billie began surfacing, and I took notice. Any artist that produces song after song that I love is so rare, and I didn't even know anything about her at this point.

I had never heard a voice that could hit literally every note, sounding angelic and powerful in a completely unique way. Little did I know, that her vocal talent was only one of the many things that made her stand in an era of her own.

This girl is 16 years old, and she is taking the world by storm by her unwillingness to abide by any social standards.

Her talent is unmatched, and so is her personal style. Every public appearance she makes has me in happy tears. She puts on a show for everybody who looks, wearing the most individualized, "her" clothes possible. It's almost like a street version of Lady Gaga mixed with the confidence of Kanye (you're welcome Kanye. That's the best compliment you could receive). Her Instagram is filled with her wild style and glimpses behind the scenes of her music videos- flaunting that young 'wherearetheavocado's handle with an anime pic.

Basically, in the words of Barney from HIMYM, Billie is the definition of legendary.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
