The Media In Today's Society

Media, why do you gotta be so rude?

The media is such a powerful thing these days. You can be anybody and have Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, just to name a few of course. Celebrities in particular can have any of these accounts. They are being judged on all of these accounts twenty-four seven which is a little cray cray if you ask me. Certainly, the media has changed a lot in the past few years and a lot of it has to deal instant gratification.

We as a society think that we have to know every little detail about someone the second it is released. I am not going to lie, I like to be updated on everything quickly through social media. Social media is a great outlet to update people about your life. It is cool to watch celebrities update us on what they are doing. However, the media love to pry and get the latest information on celebrities such Taylor Swift or Beyonce. They weave through every little detail, not just the regular updates. It is their job to pry at times, I get that part of it. But celebrities deserve a little privacy at times. They can not get privacy at all if the media is going to be focused on all aspects of their lives. The media just needs to take a chill pill for a second, let celebrities breathe and be normal for a few minutes.

I think it is hard to put ourselves in celebrities shoes at times. We think that it is cool that they are famous in movies and television. But I think that we forget that they are real people just like us at the end of the day. Moral of the story, just be nice to everyone and let people have their space. If we give people like celebrities their own space, maybe they will want to share more of their lives with us.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
