As I am sure that you all know by now, there was a controversy surrounding the uber famous model Kendall Jenner. Some people are upset that Kendall and her mom, Kris Jenner, were teasing them with an announcement in which Kendall comes out with something that is super personal.

People suspected that she may be coming out or that she was going to admit to having an eating disorder.

They were very disappointed though, when she revealed that she was just the new spokesperson for Proactive. She released a video in which she discusses her struggle with acne over the years and how Proactive helped her get raid of it.

Thus an Internet debate got fueled because they found footage of Kylie saying that their dermatologist used laser to make Kendall's acne go away, which discredits her saying that it was Proactive.

Honestly, she could have used both Proactive and lasers but whatever helped her cure it, I think that people overreacted to the situation.

Kris said in a Tweet that she was "so proud" of her daughter for her bravery at sharing her story.

Some people were really annoyed by this, but as someone who has suffered from acne since middle school, I think that she has every right to be proud of her.

I wrote an article last year in which I discussed my acne struggles and my coming to terms with it and it was not easy to make myself so vulnerable on the Internet, which can become such a nasty platform sometimes.

I think that it was brave of Kendall to share her story.

I am not interested in the logistics of it and as to whether or not Proactive was what really cured it.

However, I am interested in how she admitted to how much it ruined her self-confidence and how it made social situations uncomfortable for her.

This is because this is something that I can relate to.

I can relate to the feeling of not liking how I look in pictures and not wanting people to talk to me because I didn't want them to see my face.

I can imagine that it was especially hard for her since she is such a public profile and there are quite literally thousands of people out there judging her.

No one should let acne stop them from doing things but it can be crippling to people's self esteem.

As an adult who still struggles with acne I believe Kendall was strong for sharing her story because I personally know how hard it was for me to do so.

I do however, believe that she maybe should have worded her promos for it differently, but no one is perfect.

Whether her motives for being the spokesperson for Proactive are money driven or if she genuinely wants to help people who are going through what she has gone through, I think that anyone who has suffered from real sever acne should at least see the point of view that Kendall is coming from.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
