Do you fantasize about roses at your feet and paparazzi at your door? We all seem to think that fame is only for the famous. Don’t sell yourself short. When there’s a will, there’s a way. Here are 11 foolproof tips that can help you to achieve your dreams, and become so famous that people stalk you and threaten to kill you.

1. Live to be 123 Years Old

This might take a while, but patience breeds excellence.


2. Become President

There’s no better way to get your name out there! If you want to be so famous that you become a meme, then this job might be for you. Becoming president of the United States will not only get you publicity in this country, but all over the world. You’ll be almost as famous as Britney Spears. If this job seems like a little too much responsibility for you, or you’re not 35 yet, you can always…


3. Become a Meme

Do you wake up from sweet dreams of your face plastered across the internet, only to be devastatingly disappointed by reality? Becoming a meme might be for you. If you’re funny looking, and have exceptional facial expressions, look no further. Now, remember, becoming a meme isn’t for everyone. You have to be prepared for the harsh Twitter captions, the Instagram tags, and the occasional mom who shares you on Facebook two years after you were popular.

Still haven’t found your claim to fame?


4. Invent the lightbulb

Nothing says famous like gracing the cover of a sixth grade history textbook. To make this method even more effective, change your name to Thomas Edison and invent the lightbulb in 1879 before lamps existed.


5. Win 23 Olympic Gold Medals

In order to accomplish this task, you will have to be genetically gifted, dedicate your entire life to training, and spend more time in a pool than on land. Anyone can do it.


6. Have Beyonce Give Birth to You

No explanation needed.


7. Post Half Naked Pictures on the Internet

Don’t do this.


8. Write An 8 Book Series About a Young Wizard and His Best Friends

Make sure he’s British.


9. Piss off Kanye West

Oh, Taylor. He made that _____ famous.


10. Live in a Pineapple Under the Sea

Any walking, talking sponge who flips burgers as a full-time job is bound to get some attention. If you can pour a glass of water, while still underwater, then this strategy is for you.


11. Be Perfect

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
