Why Celebrities Are Overrated

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
