Ordinary vs. Extraordinary: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Let's be honest, you probably felt your ranking drop a few numbers during the Fashion Show.

Ordinary vs. Extraordinary: Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Just remember, you will probably never look like this, nor will you ever be a Victoria's Secret Angel.



During the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the seemingly perfect models strut their stuff across the catwalk for all to see over the air. Whether you love it or hate it, it's almost a guarantee that you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Millions of people tune in every year to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, or the VSFS, as it has been dubbed. According to the internet and social media, the VSFS also seems to destroy the confidence of teenage girls everywhere.

I mean, I'm not going to lie, I sat down on the couch and worked on consuming a package of Twizzlers while accepting that if the Victoria's Secret Angels were Barbie dolls, I was a Mrs. Potato-Head. Which, let's be real, that's alright.


Compared to the Angels, a lot of us females of the world are Mrs. Potato-Heads.



So, like every other girl during the VSFS, I made a slight gripe about the fact that I'd never be on the same level as the Angels. I was ordinary while they were extraordinary.

Knowing about my agriculture background, one of my friends then said to me, "But I doubt any of the Angels can work with cows and animals like you can."

I'm not trying to say I'm better than the Angels, but in that aspect, I probably am.


I'm not saying that any of the Angels are less than spectacular, because they totally are amazing (like did you know that one of the Angels, Janine Tugonon, was originally a pharmacist?). Each and every Angel has a unique story, and it's obvious they work hard for their job.

Although, the rest of us ordinary folk are actually just as extraordinary in regular, day-to-day life. So, even if it's something weird and different, just remember, that's your niche. Modeling probably isn't, and that's okay.

Maybe they're still Barbie dolls, and you're still a Mrs. Potato-Head, but both are fully functional, loved, and successful.

Victoria's Secret Angels may appear extraordinary, but they're actually ordinary people. We may be ordinary people, but in our own ways, we are extraordinary.

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.
