Lori Loughlin’s College Admission Scandal Shouldn't Be Ignored

How dare they take away spots from people who actually care about their education?

I stumbled upon Olivia Jade by accident. I vaguely remember seeing her name and her YouTube videos before. I wrote her off as just another beauty guru.

I finally gave her a shot when I clicked on her most recent haul video. I thought her video was pretty normal…until I scrolled down and saw her comments were disabled.

Immediately, I searched her name up on Google and found her Twitter. I clicked on her most recent tweet, promoting her latest haul video. Down below, I saw reply after reply to it. People were bashing the girl, making shady comments. I was really confused.

After doing more research, I found my answers. If you don't know about the recent Lori Loughlin scandal, here's a great article that'll explain all about it. But, to quickly recap, her and her husband, along with a number of other offenders, were caught in a college cheating scheme. To put it even more simply: they paid for their two girls to get into college.

So, what do I think?

Well, I'm on the side of justice. How dare they? Listen, if you want to go to school, you absolutely should. And you should be able to easily. But if you don't, then don't. If the reason you're going to college isn't to get an education, then don't go.

How dare they take away spots from people who actually care about their education?

I agree with the public. Just because they have money, doesn't mean they reserve the right to pay their way through life.

It's heartbreaking. To see one of my childhood TV stars take part in such a thing.

Good on the brands and companies associated with them to drop them in light of the situation. I'm glad people are doing the right thing in realizing this isn't okay. No matter how much money and fame you have.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
