Kylie Jenner's Closet Is Not #Goals, It's A Hoarding Problem

Your thousands of purses don't impress me much, and here's why.

Kylie Jenner's Closet Is Not #Goals, It's A Hoarding Problem

Kylie Jenner made heads turn once again when she posted a picture of one of her many closets. In this one, she is surrounded by at least 100 handbags. All top of the line and worth lots and lots of moola, you can be certain about that. And while I think being a celebrity with loads of money they never know what to do with is nice, Kylie's closet holds a lot more than just a passion for fashion.

See, it would be all fine and nice if she just was really obsessed with purses. It happens to the best of us. But, the ridiculous amounts of stuff doesn't end there. This closet is just one of MULTIPLE that this girl has. Each one bigger than the last. (Not to mention, the purse closet is bigger than my room and half of America's college dorm rooms, too.) And while that in itself didn't bother me, the things I was hearing and reading on social media did.

Thousands of people hyped Kylie's closet up, saying it was "goals," or that they wished they had a closet like that. This one tweet, which got thousands of retweets and took Twitter by storm was the final nail in the coffin for me, and I'll explain why:

As you can see from the screenshot, there are literally thousands of people who agree with these kinds of statements.

First of all, this picture makes me feel like she has a hoarding problem and needs her credit card taken away. In no way am I envious of her purse collection or the fact that she has multiple closets. And good for her for being able to splurge like that. However, we are completely ignoring the elephant in the room with this.

This, in the simplest terms, is a form of hoarding. People are glamorizing an actual, legitimate issue simply because she's Kylie Jenner and she's rich and can afford to make her house look neat even though she has WAY. TOO. MUCH. STUFF.

The reason hoarding exists is because people have an obsession to purchase things in excess-- things they don't need-- simply because they feel incomplete without the items. For a lot more people it is a coping mechanism for a traumatic experience.

They pack themselves in their tiny homes and hide behind the safety of their things instead of facing whatever issue is hanging over their head. Often times, it gets so bad that they even exclude themselves from their family members, as well.

This is not something to glamorize. This is unhealthy behavior. This is an addiction. It may not look the same because all those TV shows portray the middle and lower classes with tiny homes and things stacked to the ceiling, but I would be willing to bet my life if they had the money Kylie did, their homes would look exactly the same.

What adds salt to the wound is that those people on those hoarding shows are shamed, looked down on, disowned by their family and made fun of by the rest of the world for something they often can't control. But when Kylie does it? Everyone loses their mind and suddenly it's something to attain towards. This thought process needs to change, and I don't think I need to explain any further why it should.

So, no, Kylie, your closet is not a "goal" for me. I never want to have that much stuff. I never want to NEED that much stuff and there is no reason why anyone would have to have that much stuff. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Use your money and your time for good, and for the love of God, please don't ever buy another purse.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
