Celebrity Criticism & Comebacks

Some celebrities actually read your hateful comments even when there are thousands of others doing the same, and one of these days they may even respond in a way you would've never have guessed.

There are a few celebrities that take criticism lightly over social networks and seem to brush it off. In the end, it really doesn’t matter what a few haters say right?  Well, in some instances these gods that we worship through music or other networks like to get back at their haters in the most humorous ways. A few including Anderson Cooper, Rihanna and Tom Anderson have their own simple ways of neglecting the harsh criticism that is thrown at them they do it with the wittiest of comebacks that it’s hard to lose their respect.

One of my favorites is Anderson Cooper and his openly gay but charming threats at people who are ignorant and childish. His best has to be responding to a tweet directed toward him stating “One great thing about #Putin he hates #gays #LGBT”. With his remark he said “For someone who claims to be straight, you sure do tweet and think a lot about gay men. Ever wonder why that might be?” If you share the same hatred for ignorant people who have no place to talk, you’re going to love Anderson Cooper’s tweets on the daily. 

Another favorite in the angry tweeting world is the famous singer, Rihanna. Although she may have a bad reputation in some areas of her life, she sure doesn’t seem to care what the critics have to say. When MTV tweeted at her with a snide remark about how her marijuana usage in public at Coachella sparked controversy, she had a simple but demeaning response of,  “@rihanna ran out of f*s to give”. This is derogatory but in a sense it gives me the notion that these celebrities are real people. They finally leave the immortal god status and join us on planet earth. I love seeing when celebrities speak the same way I do on social media: informal and funny. 

Last but not least the creator of Myspace tunes in with his so-called fans and goes straight for the kill on this one. Random annoying fan tweets “says the guy that can’t keep a social network alive”. Although this isn’t too bad of an insult, Tom takes it to heart and responds “says the guy who sold myspace for 580 million while you slave away hoping for a half day off.” Again, this just puts a smile on my face because if someone was ranting about my flaws or insecurities, I would definitely rant back, even though these mindless tweets mean next to nothing to the celebrities at hand. All I’m asking for is more celebrities to be real with their fans and critics and act like they belong with all the rest of us. If that means a few trash talking tweets, then count me in.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
