I'm Working My Butt Off Here, But Kim K Doesn't Need Undergrad Before Law School

This has to be some kind of joke.

I'm all for female empowerment and following your dreams. Going after your dreams and daydreaming is something that personally keeps me motivated. However, when I heard that Kim Kardashian is on a path to become a lawyer, my first thought was...are you kidding? This has to be some kind of joke. Why would she put herself through over seven years of college and a bar exam?

When I found out the loophole that she didn't have to go to undergrad but she had to be an apprentice for 18 hours a week for four years, I was upset. So many people fight to get into college and work their butts off in college just to be able to get into a good law school.

I applaud Kim for trying something new and if she actually takes this new path seriously, I truly think she will be an amazing lawyer and influence the justice system for the better, based on how she has influenced the fashion world. Also, getting 100% correct on exams is amazing. As a pre-nursing major, it is so hard to get an A on an exam, but her getting an A is great if it on her own merit.

Truthfully, I am jealous of how fast Kim got job offers when my cousins who are successful lawyers worked their butts off. The whole process wasn't easy for them in and of itself, and they certainly didn't have millions to spend on apprenticeships even though they got their degrees in New York. My cousin was lucky she got an internship with the U.S. government that was super competitive.

Law school is not easy or everyone would be a lawyer. Perhaps law comes naturally to Kim — after all, her father was a lawyer. One thing is for sure: if she isn't pulling a Lori Loughlin and is actually trying her hardest with her own efforts, then I support her. After all, women must support each other, and it isn't a bad thing that she is doing this. Perhaps this will inspire other girls to follow their dreams.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
