The Ugly Truth Of Kim K
US Magazine

I hate people.

I get that the Kardashian(Jenner) family has developed a bad rep over the years and are seen by the public as nothing but a family that had fed from the fame of Kim’s sexual activities, but we still need to take time to face the ugly truth of who she is: a mother, daughter, sister, and wife.

On October 3rd , Kim was visiting Paris for Fashion Week when she was alone in her hotel room, held at gunpoint as five men dressed as cops, robbing her of at least 10 million dollars. That’s a lot of money. That amount of money could help a lower developed country stand on its feet. I’ve talked about the robbery with friends and their responses were honestly disgusting.

“Good, she deserves it!”

“That’s what she gets for flaunting everything she has on social media.”

“Wow, 10 million dollars, that’s like 100 dollars to her she’ll be okay.”

….um what?

I had to tell them that not only was she robbed, but she was held at gunpoint. They didn’t know that because all they saw was a rich person whose pockets probably didn’t dent got robbed and of a wedding band and other jewelry that she ‘shouldn’t have flashed on social media’. They didn’t know that the gun was pointed right at her temple.

That’s fucking scary.

But it wasn’t just those comments that got me. Yesterday, I was on my Facebook timeline when I noticed that a costume website (Costumeish.com) made a costume of Kim being taped up in her bathrobe, the model reenacting the fear that she had felt that night.

Seriously?

C’mon people. If this was anyone in your family, regardless of their financial status you’d be pissed if someone made a joke out of it. There's nothing funny about the chances of any of the robbers pulling the trigger and her kids not having a mother.

The cheap, ill-minded business had this description under the photo:

This Halloween it’s all about the #Hallomeme and who better than America’s goddess of all things glamorous ‘Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume?’” the explanation on the site reads. “She has devoted her life to promoting American decadence, youth, and hedonism but all that flashy living caught up with her one night in Paris when armed men bound her, stole her jewelry and her peace of mind. This Halloween have some fun with pop culture and dress just like the Queen of Social media.”

Thankfully, the site received enough backlash that it removed the costume from the website.

It’s disgusting.

Immoral.

Disrespectful.

And what’s sad is that it’s not going to stop any cold-blooded human from making their own costume, it just stops any revenue for a company that thought it would be a good idea to advertise such a gross costume. What you would be doing is making a traumatized woman relive a night over and over that’ll she’ll struggle to move on from for a long time through social media in the worst way: vulnerability in the exploitation of the heinous crime.

Anyone who would wear this costume deserves the ridicule and backlash that comes with it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
