Are You Serious?

The expectations we are setting for celebs is insane.

Are You Serious?
SnapChat

Kendall and Kylie Jenner have become household names- Why? The Kardashian empire only continues to grow. Modeling, clothing lines, stores, makeup lines- the list is endless. They are in the news everyday, regardless if something newsworthy happened or not. I think that because they're celebrities, people forget one simple fact- they're only human.

For example, this little beauty. Last week, a snap chat story was written about Kendall's "big breakout." The celeb was photographed with three zits on her face and made the front tab on snap stories.

Are you serious?

The poor girl just got off an airplane. I wouldn't have any makeup on either! As someone who grew up with severe acne, I almost find this "news" insulting. She had 3 zits, THREE. The article suggested that her crazy lifestyle was taking a toll on her complexion. Really? He face otherwise still looked flawless. If this is what it means to have spiraling, big breakout- count me in.


Kendall is only 21 years old- is she not allowed to have a few zits simply because she's a celebrity? Stories like this not only make me feel bad for the celebrity involved- but it also effects others. What about all the girls who look up to her as their role model? They're going to start to think that if they get a couple zits one day, they're life is out of control and that they're no longer attractive.


The article went on to show how Jenner covered up with a "slick" of makeup before she went out on the town. Is she not allowed to cover up her breakouts? Her makeup wasn't heavy at all- it was as if she wasn't even wearing any and her zits just disappeared.

She is human. Let her be human! Celebrities don't have to wear makeup everywhere they go or look perfect 24/7. They're allowed to get sick, have zits and eat junk food too. If we're setting a non-human standard for them, how are the people who admire them supposed to level up to that?

Let's stick to real news- not bothering a 21-year-old for getting three zits while traveling 24/7. Give me a break.

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.
