I never in a million years thought I would be saying this, but here I am, completely infatuated with the show that is "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" (KUWTK).

It all started several years ago in middle school. I was over at a friends house when I noticed she had KUWTK playing on the TV while we were eating breakfast. I remember being in shock that someone I knew actually watched the show. How could anyone watch such a shallow show? Little did I know that seven years later, I would be that person.

"What made you change your mind?" you may ask. Well, until this year, I had never actually watched the show. I had been so adamantly against everything Kardashian that I never even gave them a chance. So, this summer, I decided to watch it. After the first episode I watched, I was hooked.

I do not approve of the way they act or flaunt themselves in the public eye, but there's something about them that I can't seem to stay away from. I love the glamour of their lives. I love the drama. I love the odd family dynamic. But mostly, I love that it requires no thought on my part. Everyone has their own unique way of unwinding after a long day of work. Mine consists of sitting on the couch with dark chocolate and a few episodes of KUWTK. Lucky for me, E! is always playing episodes.

If you have never seen the show, here's the low down: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob are the kids of Robert Kardashian (famous defense attorney in the OJ Simpson trial) and Kris Jenner. Robert and Kris divorced. Kris married Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) and had Kylie and Kendall. The Kardashians' claim to fame is their famous fathers, but let's be honest, it's really Kim's sex tape. So all the kids are now famous and Kris is their agent. The only one that I know has a job is Kendall (she's a model), but the others I assume get their money from fame. That's pretty much the gist of it.

The show is completely unrealistic, but that's what makes it so great. When I watch KUWTK, I get to escape reality and join the Kardashian family on their many adventures. I get to watch petty fights between them that always get resolved. I get to witness Kim "ugly cry" when she doesn't get her way. I get to see the bizarre social and physical transformer that is Kylie Jenner. I get to see Khloe and Kourtney gang up on Kim. I get to see Scott be Lord Scott. I get to enjoy someone else's crazy life and I love it.

I would like to send a personal "thank you" to the Kardashian clan. Thank you for opening your life up to the public and for living an excessive lifestyle. Thank you for letting me have 30 minutes of "me" time after a long day of work.

So next time you're looking for new ways to unwind, give reality TV a try. You'll soon discover their lives are more pathetic than your own, but you'll love them all the more for it.
