What Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy Tells Us About Millennials And The Media

If young people are the ones who keep up with the Kardashians, why are they relevant on a platform that not many young people watch?

What Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy Tells Us About Millennials And The Media

I feel as if it's usually very young people who are following up with the Kardashians, so why are they relevant on a platform that not many young people watch? The many millions of followers usually seem to come from relevant peers (like other celebrities, people from their communities, also very young people, usually teenagers to early 20s). This make sense to see why they're so popular on social media but it seems strange to me that the news is portraying things that don't really get the views they ever hope for. That is also my theory why the reality star's relevancy has gone down.

The directors behind news stories do it for views obviously but at the same time no one who is an adult really cares about what these girls are doing. That has been more true than ever as magazine subscriptions and anyone who doesn't live amongst the stars already are too overwhelmed with outside factors to really keep up with anybody but themselves.

When the news came out of Kylie Jenner having her baby girl, Stormi it being apparent she was going to be more open in a post than she had been her entire pregnancy. "I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. She continues to say "I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness." Expecting a variety of reactions it seems like there was an overwhelming amount of online support for the new mom. Especially from the fact that a few post later her offical Stormi baby reveal had become the most well liked photo on Instagram. This shows that even if a person is mostly followed and even scrutinized that when it comes down to the important stuff the humanity comes out of even the most envious.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
