Brush off the haters, Kendall,

A Dancer's Response To Kendall Jenner’s Ballet Photo Shoot

If you have kept up with the tabloids recently, you probably have come across pictures of Kendall Jenner attempting to do ballet. As a dancer myself, I have to agree that the dance portrayed in these photos was horrendous. However, to be fair, she is a model not a dancer—but seriously, does she really not understand the concept of turning out?


This poses an interesting question of whether or not Kendall was the right model for the job. I think the entire dance community is about to hate me right now, but yes, she was. I have always been a huge "America’s Next Top Model" fan and Tyra Banks, the ultimate supermodel herself, has explained that you do not need to be what you are modeling. Do you think every model in an ad or photo knows exactly what they are doing?

Does this model really know what it is like to be a vampire?

Or does this model know what it is like to be a bird? It could theoretically be an insulting photo to birds because no birds truly look like that.

Or does this redheaded fair skinned model know what it is like to be a mix of Malagasy and Japanese races? I'm sure this photo shoot gained some negative controversy.

Does this model know what it's really like to be the deadly sin of gluttony?


I think that while the photo definitely could have been executed better, Kendall Jenner portrayed the concept of dance, which is what she was getting paid for. She's not a world-class dancer and no one should expect that from her.

But next time, try to learn maybe one or two things about dance. Just a suggestion.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
