My Best Friend Is A Model

Modeling is a job, not a personality. Stop the ignorance.

My Best Friend Is A Model

“OMG, she is so pretty! Is she a model?” Yes. My best friend is beautiful and a model. But, I am so sick of hearing all of the bullshit questions that come after the “Yeah, she is a model, and like not for Instagram, she's a real model.” Frankly, I am so sick of hearing all of the stereotypes. Models are just regular people with jobs. Modeling is a job, not a personality. Here are some stupid ass stereotypes that I am sick of hearing.


First thing is first, “Whoa, does she eat?”

First of all, don’t say that. It’s rude. And yes. Much more healthily than I do. She also works really hard for the body she has and that does not automatically mean she does not eat. Models are humans, so treat them as such.


“Did she like drop out? She probably didn’t get good grades.”

Why? Because she’s following her dreams and getting amazing opportunities (while going to online school and probably getting better grades than you). I’m sure you don’t assume actors are dumb. Why? Acting is a job too.


“How are you friends with a model? Doesn’t she think she’s better than you?”

THIS ONE KILLS ME! She is still a normal person. Models are people. Modeling is a job! I'm sure there are good and bad people who are models. But just because my best friend is a model, does not mean she thinks she is better than me!


“Ugh being a model must be so easy.”

Oh yeah? Why aren’t you one then? Probably because it’s really hard to balance life, your career, your rent (because just because you model you don't get free shit), your body, and your social life? Also, maintaining a good body and a healthy diet is not easy. Literally I can’t do that for the life of me.


My best friend is a model. That is her job, not her personality. Do not assume things about models because it is idiotic and rude. You are just jealous because you could never do what they do. My best friend is beautiful inside and out and no one should try to judge her based on her career. I love you HP! 10 years strong. Models rock.

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.
