Ariana Grande Has Offended Us Once Again

In a recent Instagram post, Ariana Grande boldly declared herself as "the hardest working 23-year-old human being on Earth." Many on the internet did not feel too enthused to agree.

Being a musician can be very difficult, and there is no doubt that this "Dangerous Woman" puts a lot of effort into working hours upon hours to do what she does, but this statement really offended a lot of people.

A 23-year-old mother wrote an opinion piece in reply to Grande's comment. "I started off at $10.50 an hour working nights, sitting at a table staring at thousands of little pieces of metal, packing them into boxes and sending them on their way. I was ale to work my way up enough that I now work in a nice, air-conditioned lab on day shift making $21.50 and hour." She further describes her life of growing up in a broken home and becoming the adult she is today.

A Twitter user also posted "... like there aren't 23-year-olds out [here] working 4 jobs to stay in their tiny apartments." Another user sarcastically agreed with the pop star's comment, "Yea Arianna Grande is the hardest working 23-year-old on Earth not the ones struggling making 60 cents a day trying to provide for their families."

The caption seen around the world was posted with a picture of the singer on Saturday, January 14th, and has not been deleted; who knows if it ever will be? Despite the backlash from those who took offense, there are also people who are on Grande's side and have no hesitation when it comes to defending her.

One Twitter user tweeted that Grande is "like the hardest working female recording artist! the girl works non stop!" while another thanked the pop star in a tweet for "always working the hardest for us [the fans]," before the Instagram post even existed.

The chaos from the caption has simmered down on social media, especially now that Inauguration Day has passed and there will be more important issues to focus on than a singer's caption on a social media post.

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.
