I think, as a society, we all too often create hype and obsessions over celebrities who aren't doing anything exceptional with their lives. Personally, I wasn't Kylie Jenner's biggest fan prior to this Super Bowl Sunday. I just didn't see anything special, I respected the fact that she had such a successful cosmetic business and had created a Kylie "empire" but she didn't build her name up on her own, she was born into it. I didn't get the obsession, even though I had been a loyal KUWTK watcher all my grade school years.

I can't even begin to explain how much respect I now have for Kylie because of how she dealt with her pregnancy. It wasn't showy, it wasn't overly-hyped, it was hers. She wanted to have her pregnancy to herself without having the entire world watching it from every angle, and that's exactly what she got. I am so impressed by Kylie's choice, it made this part of her life more personal and special when she easily could've put a glaring spotlight on the situation.

But she didn't. And I think Kylie Jenner represented loving her life and herself through keeping her pregnancy low-key in a way that we should all be able to incorporate into our own lives.

The way that I see this is Kylie knew that putting her pregnancy out there and releasing this intimate part of her life to the world would naturally stir up negative things and comments from people that she would rather not hear during this special time in her life. It's so impressive that Kylie decided to love her decision for herself to go through with her pregnancy at only twenty years old rather than releasing her decision to the world to weigh the opinions of her millions of adoring fans. It shows a sense of satisfaction and love she had for herself and her own life with this decision that she wanted to keep it more private.

I'm not saying we all should get pregnant or that we should all refrain from sharing any good news on social media, but I am saying that it's important to love your decision for yourself before you bring anyone else into the equation.

Loving our lives and ourselves seems easy but honestly, a lot of us struggle with it. From Kylie, I think we can all take a step back and realize that it is our lives and no one else's. You don't need to ask five of your friends if your outfit looks okay before you go on the date or what to text back to the boy you've been talking to, you need to love your decisions first for yourself. You need to love who you are and your life first, before anyone else can (or can't). And really who cares about what everyone else thinks? At the end of the day, you're the one that has to be happy with the decisions you've made and the life you've chosen to live.

Loving your life isn't an eight-step program or something that can be accomplished in five minutes, it takes a lot of time to really get the gist of it. But beginning with caring about your, and only your, opinion on your life and your decisions will help you see yourself and your life and new and happier light. You are worth so much and you shouldn't ever forget that you are the one that counts most in your life, so make yourself happy, love yourself, and love your life.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
