Jeffree Star & Nathan Schwandt Officially Broke Up And It Should Teach Us To Respect The Hearts Of Others

Although it's devastating news, it should open our eyes to the fact that celebrities are real people, too.

BREAKING NEWS: Youtube mogul Jeffree Star and his now ex-boyfriend, Nathan, have officially called it quits.

And, needless to say, everyone's hearts are reeling. But this celebrity breakup in particular is so interesting because of the speculation that has been growing over the past few weeks as to why Jeffree went radio silent, removed Nathan from his Twitter bio, and cancelled his European master classes. But no one wanted to believe the rumors. I mean, they seemed to be such a power couple - raising too many adorable Pomeranian dogs to count together, moving into a $14 million Hidden Hills house, and, as Jeffree put in his most recent video about their their breakup, just simply being soulmates.

And many fans have taken to Twitter to express their feelings on the couple's shocking split...





I didn't start watching Jeffree's videos until after he collaborated with Shane Dawson, so I'm not trying to pretend I know a lot about his relationship with Nate or that I was super invested in it. It looked healthy and happy though, so of course I just simply wished them the best. But my reaction is quite similar to the one's above, and so many other's on the Internet, because it was such a shocking, out-of-nowhere split.

However, I think an important lesson can come out of this; a lesson that is much more news-worthy than a couple who has maturely decided to part ways. And that is to respect the feelings, the emotions, and the hearts of other people - celebrity or not. Like with any celebrity breakup, there are people who don't listen, who beg for two people that aren't meant to be to get back together. Like with any celebrity breakup, there are people throwing shade, accusations, and insults towards one or both of them. And, like with any celebrity breakup, there are people who are spreading rumors about the reasons behind it.

Jeffree taught us a very important lesson in his breakup video, though, which is also the reason why he and Nate have separated. He is respecting Nate's emotions, his feelings, and his heart. He reveals in the video how Nate has been struggling to handle recent losses of his grandfather and furbabies (which I have also experienced in the past year), and I can empathize with how hard it is to handle and process that kind of grief. However, he says that Nate has been unable to process these emotions because of the fame and spotlight, attention and cameras that inevitably come with being Jeffree's partner. So, out of respect for Nate's own mental health, he let him go.

And I think that is so, so important for all humans to understand: respect each other's feelings. In relationships, friendships, with family, and even with strangers - respect their emotions. Just as Jeffree let go of Nate, fans must let go of the relationship, too. No dragging it out overdramatically or continually fueling it through rumors; no making it worse through accusations and insults. And that applies to other celebrity breakups, too, as well as other relationships in our lives. If you truly, wholeheartedly love someone, respect their heart. At the end of the day, mental health is such an important part of our lives, so please don't destroy someone else's out of blatant disrespect to how they're feeling inside - celebrity, S.O., family member, or friend.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
