I will be me despite who society tells me to be.

Why Celebrities Are Overrated

Have you ever heard the question 'If your life was a movie, which actor/actress would you want to be you in that movie?'

Well, to me, this question is overrated. We spend most of our time admiring and comparing our lives to those who have the "celebrity" status instead of what is happening around us. We see all of those celebrities in movies, TV shows, concerts, and more.

Now I admit that I am guilty of this myself, but do we all realize that they are still human and doing their jobs like the rest of us? Yes, their jobs include making music, playing a role on TV or a series, traveling the world, and going to award shows.

When you go to a grocery store you see a bunch of magazines containing the latest gossip about the biggest celebrities around like Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and so many more. When did we all start caring more about what the Kardashians are doing than how we are living our lives?

Why do some people care that their life is not just like one of the celebrities' so much that they are willing to go through major surgeries to look like them? When did this become the norm?

Even though I watch movies and TV shows, listen to music and go to concerts (which are fun to go to and fun to watch), I will not live my life to be exactly like the celebrities. Each of us are unique and different, we are not meant to be the same and live our lives exactly like the other.

I will dress the way I want and not let today's society tell me that it is not acceptable to wear it because it is not cool. I will listen to the music that I like and watch the shows that I like no matter how unpopular it is by most of society. I will vote for who I believe would be the better candidate. I will be me no matter who society tells me who I should be.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
