Celebrity Couples Should Never Be Your "Relationship Goals"

Stop looking for the Liam to your Miley.

From John and Chrissy to Blake and Ryan, we all are guilty of fawning over some of Hollywood's cutest couples at some point. I mean, who wouldn't? They're seriously cute and always entertaining us somehow.

There's only one problem with this obsession, however. People are starting to compare themselves and their relationships to celebrities, which we should all know by now never ends well.

What some people don't realize is that what you see is not the entire picture. All of these couples seem perfect and without a single flaw, which in reality is just plain false.

Everyone has their own imperfections and relationships do too.

Now, I'm not saying that these celebrity couples actually have horrible relationships, I'm just letting you know that what you see is not everything that's there. No relationship is without flaws, and comparing yours to that of a celebrity is only setting you up for failure.

Constant comparison is a perfect way to always end up unhappy. You'll never be able to replicate what you see in the media. Not only because it's not even completely true, but also because you're simply not that person and there's no way for you to become exactly like someone else.

You should think about relationships in the same way. It's pretty unlikely that your boyfriend will surprise you with a Kanye-style flower wall this Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean that he loves you as much as Kanye loves Kim.

I know all of this may sound pretty pessimistic, but it's really not. It should actually be comforting to realize that you really don't have to live up to the impossible standards portrayed by celebrities in the media.

Instead, compare your relationships to how they affect your own relative happiness. What's perfect for you is not perfect for someone else, so your relationship should not be the exact same as anyone else's.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
