Transitioning from young adult to adulthood

We live in a world today where your age really doesn't make you mature, you can be "old" and have a young mentality or "young" with an old mentality. It all just depends on the environment that you were raised or brought up in. For instance, a child star who has grown up in the spotlight and is trying to prove that they are grown by doing what they think grown people do. They change their appearance, they start going out to clubs, or changing the group they hang with to fit in. I remember transitioning into adulthood after high school and thinking to myself the stuff my fellow peers was starting to do, I had already had those experiences. Then on top of that I had a blueprint before me of what not to do. So when KeKe Palmer started stepping into her own I was excited to see her growth and how she would develop into an even greater entertainer. But with the recent chain of events I'm very perplexed with her. When you come from a certain pedigree there are certain things that I believe you shouldn't do. Your talent speaks volumes over what any hater or critic has to say about you until you cross a line to where we can't recognize who you are. KeKe should've never engaged in a twitter war with a reality star who talent is only running her mouth and starting fights. She also should have never put one of her peers on blast because she didn't agree with what he did when you had his phone number and the chance to leave. I understand we believe that we are suppose to evolve each year we are alive which is true, but there is something that we can and should be able to identify you by. You can't keep crying wolf when you put yourself in a situation where it could have turn out different. It's sad that people can't express themselves without being put into a box and labeled as whatever they want to label you as. But in certain aspect of live you have to careful how you project yourself so that line can't ever be cross. Like Meaghan Good she was a child star and until recently when she did documentary about her life that people really knew what she went through, and her transition was gradual and not forced. All I'm trying to say is march to the beat of your own drum.

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
