Why Kim Kardashian is deserving of your reverence

Kim Kardashian: Feminist Icon For A New Age
E! Online

Ok, so we all know by now the divine juggernaut that is Kim Kardashian-West.

From her humble beginnings in Paris Hilton’s closet (I started out in the closet too, does this make us twins?) to being arguably the most famous person in the world, Kim is an icon that everyone one has strong opinions on.

You either love her (because you’re not stupid) or you hate her (because you’re stupid). Kim is not only the biggest force in our pop culture, she’s completely unapologetic about who she is. To hate on Kim Kardashian is to hate on women in general. Kim has never been malevolent, malicious, or played dirty--and she even slayed Taylor The Snake (trademark TAS Enterprises 2016) for us, saving us from her terrible antics and even worse music.

I can mention how she’s an incredibly competent businesswoman, making $50 million of a video game we all played for 5 minutes. Like, seriously, we all played it for 4 months back in 2014, and she can already buy my whole existence. Or I can discuss how she turned the COMPLETELY NOT HER FAULT IN ANYWAY RELEASE OF HER SEX TAPE (WHICH WAS SO NOT COOL AND SHE WAS A VICTIM) into the greatest rise to fame this world has ever seen. Kim literally turned being the victim of a sex crime into an empire. Now, she owns her sexuality unapologetically, teaching a new generation of women to love their looks and curves. Her family ties run deep, and she is a devoted wife and mother. Kim is the modern version of "having it all."

I can go on about how she’s socially aware and all her other accomplishments, but what makes Kim so great is how she’s just herself. Kim is incredibly vain and materialistic and she just flaunts it. She knows who she is and it’s incredible. You never see her trying to seem like some perfect being or this great thinker. She’s successful because Kim is relatable. She knows how to laugh at herself and she genuinely just seems like she’s being herself.

She’s funny, loyal, beautiful, inside and out. That’s all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
