My Quest To Be Relevant

May we all be like Kimye.

My Quest To Be Relevant

Ever since I graduated high school in 2012, I've come across an issue that really should't be an issue.

That issue is that I am no longer relevant.

Whether it be on social media or through my friends, I find myself constantly up to to date on the issues surrounding the United States and Hollywood. But there comes a point that I feel that no one is really listening to what I have to say...or tweet...or anything really.

What is it with ourselves trying to be popular?

Girl posting butts on instagram for a like and a follow, and on twitter a fellow foodie just wanting some nuggets from Wendy's. That last one made headlines across the globe for some reason. Just because of chicken nuggets..Ladies and Gentleman, I have a problem.

I've always wanted to be one of those social media influencers with thousands of followers and millions of subscribers on a youtube channel. But, that hasn't happened yet. No, I haven't had the confidence or whatever to make videos or post original thoughts on twitter, but when I do, no one really...cares.

Yeah thats the word. Why, you ask? Well, maybe you're thinking that he doesn't have enough active followers that tweet or etcetera. No, I do, but when it comes to that, people just really don't care what others have to say. I am that type of person that is more like a background character in a movie, that doesn't really talk or do anything of importance. I am the one of the few that really don't care to make such a fuss, besides writing this article. I'm no Kanye West or Carter Wilkerson of Chicken nugget fame, no.

I am Austin freaking Williams of Rochester.

Ny fame. I love pizza, taking photos and being a generally nice human being. I don't really care for the follows that I get or the subscribers I will get once I start up my youtube channel again. I have a life outside of this kitten photo obsessed place we call the internet.

I will always be relevant to myself, my family and my significant other.

No one can take that away from me.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
