Many of you guys are probably already familiar with Cara Van Brocklin. If you have no idea who Cara Van Brocklin is, she is a 26-year-old fashion blogger from Utah.

Van Brocklin is already taking the Internet by storm. She has over 700,000 followers on Instagram and almost 50,000 YouTube subscribers. And if that's not impressive enough, Van Brocklin and her famous blogger friends, Christine Andrew and Mary Seng, all sat front row with for Tommy Hilfiger and Gigi Hadid's fashion show in Venice Beach, California, just a few weeks ago.

Van Brocklin is also a mother of two adorable little boys. Her oldest son, Hanes, was born on October 28, 2011, and her youngest son, Arrow, was born on July 30, 2014. Hanes and Arrow both frequently appear on her Instagram page.

Did I mention that her husband, Brody, is one of the hottest men alive? Here's some photographic evidence that proves my point.

But Cara Van Brocklin is more than just an Instagram celebrity. In fact, her life is a lot similar to the lives of most 20-something girls.

For those of you who don't know a whole lot about Cara Van Brocklin, she and her husband are college sweethearts. They met at Weber State University, which is located in Ogden, Utah. When they first met, which was at Weber's Purple and White basketball game, Brody was a senior on the school's basketball team and Cara was a freshman on the dance team. Brody was also good friends with many of Cara's dance teammates.

Brody and Cara were both set up by a man named Dave. Dave was one of Brody's teammates and best friends, and he came back from an overseas trip and got a new phone. So to pull a prank on Brody, Dave told him that he had Cara's number. Brody was giddy with excitement, but what he didn't realize was that Cara's "number" was actually Dave's new number. One Halloween party and many Facebook messages later, Brody finally had Cara's phone number. They dated and became an official couple shortly after their first meeting. They were married at the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City on June 19, 2009.

Cara's life has been filled with many happy moments, but she also had to deal with a couple of scary moments. For example, when she delivered Hanes, he wasn't breathing right away because of the way his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. She didn't see him immediately after his birth, but thankfully he is still a happy and healthy boy. For Arrow, he was slightly blue after birth due to the pressure of Cara's water breaking before she delivered him. He is also a very happy and healthy little boy.

From appearing front-row at Gigi Hadid's fashion shows to having a profile in the Huffington Post, Cara Van Brocklin can do it all. Rather than being labeled as an Instagram "goal," Cara is truly a real-life inspiration for us all.

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.

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!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
