What Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy Tells Us About Millennials And The Media

If young people are the ones who keep up with the Kardashians, why are they relevant on a platform that not many young people watch?

I feel as if it's usually very young people who are following up with the Kardashians, so why are they relevant on a platform that not many young people watch? The many millions of followers usually seem to come from relevant peers (like other celebrities, people from their communities, also very young people, usually teenagers to early 20s). This make sense to see why they're so popular on social media but it seems strange to me that the news is portraying things that don't really get the views they ever hope for. That is also my theory why the reality star's relevancy has gone down.

The directors behind news stories do it for views obviously but at the same time no one who is an adult really cares about what these girls are doing. That has been more true than ever as magazine subscriptions and anyone who doesn't live amongst the stars already are too overwhelmed with outside factors to really keep up with anybody but themselves.

When the news came out of Kylie Jenner having her baby girl, Stormi it being apparent she was going to be more open in a post than she had been her entire pregnancy. "I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. She continues to say "I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness." Expecting a variety of reactions it seems like there was an overwhelming amount of online support for the new mom. Especially from the fact that a few post later her offical Stormi baby reveal had become the most well liked photo on Instagram. This shows that even if a person is mostly followed and even scrutinized that when it comes down to the important stuff the humanity comes out of even the most envious.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
