Kimye VS. Taylor Swift

The enigma of celebrity drama

Kimye VS. Taylor Swift

Celebrity drama has become an enigma. Is it genuine or is it fake? Is it all a ploy for attention? I've become skeptical of the whole celebrity persona, wondering if these people we see everyday plastered all over gossip sites and magazines are really who they say they are or fooling us all with a false but ideal personality we all wish we could have. The whole Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian fued is no different.

I'm not a fan of either side, never been fond of Taylor Swift's demeanor or Kim Kardashian's, so I ask myself why should I even care about this conflict which was almost like a high school Twitter fight. Of course, social media literally blew up, exploding with support for either side, voicing their opinions on the matter that in fact they have ALWAYS hated Taylor Swift when they literally just loved her several months ago when 1989 was released. They suddenly stand behind Kim Kardashian even though just the other week they thought she was annoying.

I'm not saying opinions can't change but it's almost as if we depend on this celebrity drama to drive our thoughts on what we should think of a person. Like I said before, I've never been a fan of either person. With Taylor Swift's constant victimization of herself and gatherings of her closest "friends" who just so happen to be very famous, it's not hard to see through it. I believe there's always a catch to what a celebrity does in the public eye, it's hard to trust that there isn't a motive behind it and I think Taylor Swift's smart with that.

Then there's the supposed power couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian who don't interest me that much. Kanye's arrogance and rude behavior has never appealed to me so I can't get behind that. When I'm a fan of someone, I like to think I can relate to them in some way which is something I could never do with him or any of the Kardashian family, who are notorious for deliberate PR stunts and doing what they can for attention.

In the long run, I'm glad someone caught Taylor Swift in a tricky situation to prove that celebrities do use certain things for attention whether it's truthful or not. But then on the other hand this could also be a PR stunt and both sides are in on it because attention is what they want. In a few weeks, I'm sure one of them will do something that makes everyone hate or love them again.

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?
