I was once asked the question: "If you could do anything to change the world, what would you do?" To be honest, I think I would change people's outlooks on their own lives. I truly believe that we have the ability to make this life whatever we want it to be regardless of the hands we are dealt. Personally, I think I have been through a lot of bad times, but it's always been my attitude that has made all the bad times better and life worth living. I recently lost my single mother to metastatic breast cancer after ten years of severe struggling. My brother and I have struggled in many aspects of our lives, but my brother and I have always found some way to pull through and find the best in every bad situation. I want to pass this on. I believe that everyone is in control of their own lives even though life may be chaotic, unpredictable, and difficult. We can still choose to smile at the small things EVERY day. Happiness is a choice but it must be a cautious one. We need to make an effort to be happy and grateful each and every day.
If I could do one thing to change the world it would be to show people to appreciate the life they live. Enjoy the little things that make them happy whether that be a song, a passing hello, or a talk with an old friend over coffee. We all have something good in or lives but in order to see and appreciate that we must focus our energy and attention on the good instead of the bad. Life is a crazy ride and I believe we are all lucky to take part in it.
If I could change one thing in the world it would be for people to genuinely, whole-heartedly be happy--happy with their good days and their bad days, their healthy days and their sick days. Life isn't always fair and sometimes it can bring you down a really dark path, but we have the ability to make a change in not only our own lives but the lives of others. Together we can change the stigma that a hard life is a bad life. I guess you could say that is the start of fulfilling my desire to change the world.

If you're among the former group, well props to you.
You’ve achieved what many of us never will: organization and probably a good night’s sleep. But that’s alright! Caffeine exists for a reason, and if it’s not to help desperate people push through to their next-day-deadlines, than does it really have a purpose?
So you leave that monstrous assignment off until the night before it’s due, and now you’re looking at a VERY late night at the desk. But have no fear, friend, for you are not alone in this.
When you find yourself staring in the face of certain all-nighters, follow these simple steps.
1. Don’t Panic.
You’ve got, like, 12 hours to the deadline.That’s PLENTY of time! Don’t stress yourself out worrying, that will only make it worse.
2. Make yourself comfortable.
You won’t get anything good accomplished if you are uncomfortable. Take a shower, find the comfiest pajamas you own, get some food, prepare your hot beverage of choice and find the perfect workspace. Don’t worry if this step seems to take a disproportionate amount of time: you need it. Trust me:
3. Get to work.
Alright, it’s work time. Reread the original assignment and double check that you’ve got the requirements right (try not to freak out that there is actually an eight-page requirement instead of the six you were expecting). Find your starting point.
Well, crap. You’ve got nothing. A thorough, detailed search of everything in your memory pertaining to this topic has turned up blank. Ok, don’t panic QUITE yet. Reread your notes, maybe there’s something helpful there.
5. Panic.
OK, now you can freak out. Really let loose here; do whatever it is you do when the world is crashing. Cry, yell or punch something (I’d recommend a pillow and not, say, a wall). Just really let it all out. Let out all of those raw, unbridled emotions.
6. Get it together!
Ok, clearly, crying is not helping very much. From here you have two options. Option one: email your teacher begging for an extension and hope they show you mercy or crank out this assignment. If you choose option one, I applaud you. Have an excellent night sleep.
If you choose option two, well...
...you're going to need more coffee.
7. Start doing the thing, for real this time.
You’ve got this. Just start working, really fast. The quality doesn’t have to be great- at this point, your clock is probably telling you it is an ungodly hour of the night, and any reasonable person is asleep. This is not the time for award-winning work: now is the time for quantity over quality.
8. Finish the thing.
Ok, so it’s not your greatest work. It probably isn’t worth an A, and it’s definetly not going to earn you any extra points from your teacher. But it’s DONE. And that’s most of the battle. Now walk away like the badass you are.
1. Reality Television Shows
The Kardashian/ Jenner family is praised for the enormous amount of reality television series that are produced surrounding their lives. Viewers seem to crave new television shows behind the intriguing Kardashian/ Jenner bunch, considering the Kardashian clan has been featured in approximately 12 television series. Regardless of how many haters this family may have, their shows have shown tremendous success. Their most famous series documenting the family's life since 2007, Keeping Up With The Kardashians(KUWTK), premieres on E! Network. Season 13 of KUWTK is said to premiere March 12th at 9 p.m. on E!, so stay tuned!
2. Fashion and Beauty Gurus
Nineteen-year-old Kylie Jenner is hands-down known to be one of the most successful beauty gurus. Kylie Cosmetics, launched in 2016, has shown an insane amount of success. Kylie Lip Kits are known to sell out within minutes of being launched onto her website. Fans follow Kylie's business closely, with her accustoming her new lines and colors to what the customers desire. This is one of Kylie's many smart business tactics, pleasing the customers, in turn, gains Kylie more revenue for her business. Along with beauty success, the three Kardashian sisters, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe, have created their fashion boutique DASH. When the boutique first opened it struggled. However, the sisters rose it immensely, with the store being extremely successful to this day with three locations in West Hollywood, Miami Beach, and the SoHo District in New York City. KENDALL+KYLIE is also another successful fashion line with clothes being sold in popular stores like Pac Sun, Neiman Marcus, and Top Shop. Their lines are also shown in many fashion shows, boosting their credibility in the fashion world.
3. Apps
Kim Kardashian's game app is said to have brought in over $100 million since it's launch in 2014. The app is free to download, however, players can purchase "extras" in the game which is where most of the revenue derives from. Kim constantly keeps the game up-to-date which is an intelligent business tactic because it keeps players intrigued, and feeling as if they're living the true Kardashian life. After the extreme success of Kim's game app, each sister created their personal apps that can be downloaded in the iTunes store for a $2.99 monthly subscription fee. Each sister's app emphasizes their expertise in the fashion, beauty, travel, and fitness worlds.
4. Social Media Tactics
The Kardashian/ Jenner family has accumulated over approximately 404.7 million followers on Instagram and over approximately 154.93 million followers on Twitter. These business moguls thrive off social media techniques in building their business empire - which is smart. These sisters make thousands of dollars for one promotional tweet or Instagram post. Constantly updating their accounts keeps fans intrigued and up-to-date on their latest products/ endeavors.
5. Method Behind Parasocial Interaction
Parasocial interaction (PSI) is a communication technique where celebrities endorse themselves, and fans feel a connection of some kind to that specific celebrity. PSI is promoted in the Kardashian/ Jenner family because they endorse themselves on their social media accounts so well that fans begin to feel a connection with this family. This makes it easier for the Kardashian/ Jenners to promote their products and businesses in a not-so-pushy way.
6. Failed Endeavors
Failure is the first step to success. Although this family is praised for their unimaginable success, they have failed plenty along their way to fame. Talkshows, books and fashion lines haven't made the revenue expected and haters constantly attempt to tear down this family's fame, however, the Kardashian/ Jenner family still stands strong. In the end, they are true business moguls, entrepreneurs, and content creators who have created an insane empire.
7. Net Worth
The Kardashian/ Jenner family is stated to have a net worth of over approximately $300 million. Kim leads the family with her net worth accounting for over $100 million with the littlest sister, Kylie Jenner, creeping up the ladder. Numbers don't lie. These sisters truly have built an enormous business empire.
1. When you see each other after a hiatus it is like no time has passed.
Regardless of what you may have gone through, nothing can change the banter and personal communication you and your friends share. Nothing feels awkward or forced because you are having too much fun catching up!
2. You plan your outings around each other's schedules.
Your friend's work schedules or class schedules are memorized like the back of your hand. They are your priority, and you will do anything you can to get them to join you on adventures when it is convenient to do so.
3. You say 'I love you' on the phone.
Yes, you may say it in real life too, but saying it after a phone call means it has become a customary for you to validate your appreciate for one other. Like a significant other or family member, you feel the desire to express your love at the end of a conversation.
4. Nothing is boring when you are together.
No matter what you do together, you always have a good time. Why? Because your friends' company is all you need. With the right people, you can make any situation memorable.
5. You share weird inside jokes no one else understands.
And you would like to keep it that way. If you are anything like my friend group, we share a strange family dynamic that has lasted as a running joke forever. No matter what it is, your inside jokes and sly smirks will keep the spirits up for ages.
6. You plan to hang out for a couple hours but end up together the entire day.
So now you just expect it and prepare for a 24-hour long get-together. Naps are often a part of the agenda.
7. The hugs say a thousand words.
Perhaps you do it a little too much, but the hugs you share are always meaningful and comforting. Gotta love those group hugs especially!
8. You go on spontaneous adventures together.
It is where your favorite memories come from. Even though you might not be able to do them as much as you would like, you are always down for a trip, big or small, with the group.
9. You consider each other family.
Because you consider each other family, you treat each other like family. Constant love, constant support, and a tremendous amount of meals spent together.
10. They make you a better person.
It is not a special friend group unless you learn from one another. You had to be selective when choosing your friends and when you did, you felt like they could teach you a thing or two. Their actions influence who you are and you could not be more thankful.
11. You can't imagine life without them.
The very thought scares you and sends your heart racing. Thankfully, the ultimate friend group is right there with you so you never have to second-guess their loyalty. Instead, you can bask in the glory that is your ultimate friend group. #squadgoals.
