The world was taken by storm when a tweet about Kylie Jenner made by Dictionary.com went viral for its shade and you may have seen this familiar tweet...

Haven't we gone over this? Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided. https://t.co/g0ZHDSkVfu https://t.co/3O48zKsInN
— Dictionary.com (@Dictionary.com) 1551804120.0

Let's be honest here- Kylie Jenner, nor the Kardashian/Jenner family were self-made. Each and every one of them was aided in some way, shape, or form. But, don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying Kylie isn't hardworking because she is and she has to be since her makeup products are what seem to be making her bank account filled.

Kylie doesn't deserve a spot on Forbes' list of self-made millionaires. I mean, come on, do you really think anyone would even know who the Kardashian/Jenner family was if Kim didn't make her tape? Kylie grew up on a reality show with already-famous and already-rich family.

Self-made would be Kylie having to work an everyday 9 to 5 job in order to save up enough money to open her own cosmetic line. However, since she already HAD the money to do so, she probably just wrote a check and went about her day. Hell, she probably makes money WHILE she's sleeping.

So, yeah, is Kylie Jenner a hardworking, young entrepreneur? Of course. However, is she self-made? Not in the slightest form. When Kylie has to work a 9 to 5 job in order to make ends meet, then we'll talk.

In the meantime, follow @Dictionarycom for more shade and word of the day. You can't go wrong.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
