Trisha Paytas And Jeffree Star Are THE Definition Of ~Extra~ And I'm Here For It

@trishapaytas / Instagram

You’ve probably heard of the term "extra" or "boujee," often times associated with the LGBT community.

Being extra or boujee carries such negative connotation this day and age both in mainstream media and with friend groups or acquaintances.

Being able to buy the newest iPhones, laptops or go on a shopping spree makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel like my paychecks were truly earned. It’s just nice to be able to buy things sometimes, especially if you haven’t splurged on yourself in a while.

Working 12-15 hour days between both jobs with barely enough travel time in between becomes really exhausting. Going from a bank to a restaurant on a Friday night is a complete madhouse. Cashing-checks to writing table checks, it all becomes one big circle.

Iconic examples of this are YouTube personalities, Trisha Paytas and Jeffree Star. Combined with 15 million YouTube subscribers, three million combined Twitter followers and a combined seven million Instagram followers, they are two of the most well-known influencers online to date.

Both starting out on social media over a decade ago, Trisha and Jeffree have made huge names for themselves. Jeffree owns his own cosmetics line, Jeffree Star cosmetics.

Trisha owns LITERALLY everything pink, and she also creates MUKBANG’s on YouTube — a literal video of her eating and talking, smacking, licking her fingers on camera, all for views. You don’t think you’re going to like it but plot twist, you do.

Jeffree and Trisha are the definitions of extra. They are SO extra I literally love it. Watching them on YouTube is one of the most entertaining things ever. If you haven’t visited their channels, I highly suggest you head over and watch. Your wig will fly.

Being extra doesn’t mean getting a Rolls Royce Phantom in hot pink with rhinestones and a custom license place. Maybe it means buying a matte, hot pink Tesla with a custom license plate. It can mean whatever you want it to.

Or maybe you want a triple tall iced blonde Americano with two stevias and a splash of half-and-half in your Starbucks coffee.

Maybe you order a pepperoni pizza and take off the pepperoni and only eat the cheese but like the ‘taste of pepperoni’ so you order the pepperoni anyways.

Maybe you want water with no ice because your teeth are sensitive but complain your water isn’t cold enough so you add ice cubes to it.

Whatever it is, embrace it. Being extra isn’t something we should frown upon. You’re able to be the extra-ass girl you is, without judgment and that’s something to celebrate.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
