Lori Loughlin’s College Admission Scandal Shouldn't Be Ignored

How dare they take away spots from people who actually care about their education?

I stumbled upon Olivia Jade by accident. I vaguely remember seeing her name and her YouTube videos before. I wrote her off as just another beauty guru.

I finally gave her a shot when I clicked on her most recent haul video. I thought her video was pretty normal…until I scrolled down and saw her comments were disabled.

Immediately, I searched her name up on Google and found her Twitter. I clicked on her most recent tweet, promoting her latest haul video. Down below, I saw reply after reply to it. People were bashing the girl, making shady comments. I was really confused.

After doing more research, I found my answers. If you don't know about the recent Lori Loughlin scandal, here's a great article that'll explain all about it. But, to quickly recap, her and her husband, along with a number of other offenders, were caught in a college cheating scheme. To put it even more simply: they paid for their two girls to get into college.

So, what do I think?

Well, I'm on the side of justice. How dare they? Listen, if you want to go to school, you absolutely should. And you should be able to easily. But if you don't, then don't. If the reason you're going to college isn't to get an education, then don't go.

How dare they take away spots from people who actually care about their education?

I agree with the public. Just because they have money, doesn't mean they reserve the right to pay their way through life.

It's heartbreaking. To see one of my childhood TV stars take part in such a thing.

Good on the brands and companies associated with them to drop them in light of the situation. I'm glad people are doing the right thing in realizing this isn't okay. No matter how much money and fame you have.

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.
