Stop Letting Celebrities Distract Us From Real Life

Celebrities are too distracting from what is really going on. Once upon a time, there was a point where the only thing American's were so concerned about was when they were going to wait for the next big phone or event to come out. When I can't even express more on how times have changed, they certainly have. I can't even wrap my head around what is even going on anymore.

With Nicki and Cardi beefing, Kanye and his controversy, and with our favorite celebrities getting engaged or divorcing I think it's about that time to say that I'm tired. Not just about these particular events but just in general. I think us as American's need to as they say 'GET IT TOGETHER!!" But let's face it; have we really ever had it together? However in this particular time it is endless to say that we should focus less on beefs and more on the important things. Celebrities' personal lives are always constantly distracting us from what we should really be focusing on. The media is especially guilty since we are in the age of social media where news can literally be found everywhere.

At the risk of sounding older, there was also once a time where you had to look at not just the television for news but you actually had to dare I say it look up information in the newspaper. Also there was a time where to even get connected to the internet required dial-up. Don't know what that is? I suggest you give it a google search and get back to me.

But anyway, back to these celebs. Don't get me wrong every once in a while I love some good gossip about some of my favs that I follow. But on a daily basis? No thank you. I simply just do not know how some people really have the time to look up every ounce of information on what is happening in the world of entertainment. Yes, I have heard before that some people have called me pop culture savvy.

That does not mean that I will make it a daily task to follow some of them each and every minute. I have more things to accomplish and worry about other than a beef between two talented MCs. Let's be real, how much longer is this 'beef' going to go on? Plus Kanye is always going to be Kanye and has been the Kanye we've known for years. By questioning and getting pissed is only going to make things worse.

By making it worse I mean making Kanye get talked about more and more. So really and truly speaking what would you rather do? Would you rather constantly continue to entertain a beef that who knows when that will be complete, or would you rather do something else useful with your time.

Listen now I know that celebrities are people too, but I would rather focus on all the goals I am trying to accomplish rather than worrying about someone that does not even know who I am. Nor do they know that I exist. Once again, this is not me saying that you should not get your daily dose of pop culture. I'm just clarifying that there are certain priorities that should come first. Let celebs live their lives.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
