Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

In Hollywood, there's always a famous family you wish you were apart of. In 2015, that family is the Hadid clan.

Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

If we're being honest, the Kardashian/Jenner family is cool and all but they're so last year. Yeah, yeah, we all love to hate them, but they got old quick.

Enter the Hadid family, the absolute coolest celebrity clan gaining major fame these days. They're made up of models, music producers/songwriters and a Real Housewife who is actually a pretty decent human. They're all beautiful, humble and extremely successful in their industries. With every bit of information I learn about the Hadids, the more I want to send adoption papers to their home.

Let's start with the matriarch of the house, Yolanda Hadid Foster.

Yolanda is mostly known for being a cast member of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but can also be credited for being a professional model and interior designer. She is arguably the most sane woman on RHOBW, so you know she's something special. When she was 16, she got signed to Ford Models and modeled in shows in major cities across the world. After 15 years of modeling, Yolanda settled down and had three children with now ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid. She remarried to David Foster in 2011.

Wow, those names sound familiar, huh?

David Foster is a Canadian musician, producer, songwriter, arranger and composer. He is responsible for basically every hit song to have ever hit the wavelengths. Foster has won 16 Grammys and has been nominated 47 times. 47 TIMES. He is the chairman of Verve Music Group and is worth an estimated $30 million. 

Oh, and Mohamed Hadid is a real estate developer with a net-worth of $100 million. He's the father of Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid. So, birthdays must be fun for the kids. 

Ah, the kids. Let's talk about these beautiful humans.

By now, every girl and nearly every guy has heard of 19-year-old Jelena "Gigi" Hadid. Since being signed to IMG Models in 2011, the stunning blonde with bedroom eyes has had her face all over the runways and recently signed a deal with Maybelline cosmetics. After her gig being the face of Guess Jeans in 2012, Gigi was named one of 12 rookies in Sports Illustrated annual issue this year, where she had her own spread. She has walked in the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week this past month. On top of currently being one of the fastest rising supermodels, she has impeccable style, a cool personality and is dating singer Cody Simpson. I wouldn't hate to be Gigi. 

Then, we have the middle child, Isabella "Bella" Hadid. The 18-year-old is following in big sister Gigi's steps and pursuing a modeling career as well. The dark-haired beauty is also signed to IMG Models (casual thing in the Hadid house, clearly). Bella just made her debut into the runway world in 2015's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where she walked for Tom Ford, alongside her big sis. Although Bella is now gaining some buzz, she already has quite the audience watching her with 500,000 followers on Instagram. This year, keep an eye out for the other half of the dynamic Hadid sister act. 

Of course, there a secret little weapon hiding amongst the fam. There's oldest Gigi, middle child Bella, and last but not least, little brother Anwar. The handsome 16-year-old is a big supporter of his older sisters, who he's super close with. He's always side by side with his family members in photos and red carpet events. According to Yolanda's personal website, Anwar has a similar love of architecture like his father. Considering the mentor the youngest Hadid has in that department, he could be on to big, big things. We're keeping an eye out for you, Anwar!

If you don't want to be a Hadid after this, you probably weren't reading close enough. Hadid > Kardashian. Case closed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
