So, Why Are We Still Focusing On Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy?

Stop waiting around for her to "reveal" and start focusing on what is truly important.

So, Why Are We Still Focusing On Kylie Jenner's Pregnancy?
Kirsten Ocwieja

I will not deny that when the news broke that Kylie Jenner was pregnant, there was a small part of me that freaked out a little ... OK, maybe a lot.

As a 20-year-old myself, it was fascinating to hear that such a famous figure in our world today is the same age as me and is apparently capable of such responsibilities. As time went on, I noticed our society narrowing its focus on Jenner and when she will reveal her baby.

After months of waiting, it is obvious that she will not reveal any time soon and therefore, it is time to move on.

The Kardashian-Jenners are fascinating; I get it.

I spend my Sundays watching "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" just like anyone else, but I also manage to live my life. I cannot scroll through any form of social media without seeing multiple articles on Jenner and her alleged pregnancy. If the star herself is choosing to keep it private, then why should we still care? She will share when she decides, and until then, keep living.

There is much more important news across the world and it upsets me that we chose to not listen to the important things and instead put Jenner first.

Moving forward, another issue that comes along with the attention is the fact that young girls will begin to believe that they are capable of having a child at such a young age. As I said, I am 20-years-old as well, but instead of managing a makeup line, I spend my days in the library trying to remain sane as the work piles up in school.

Pregnancy is no walk in the park and I cannot imagine being as young as I am with all the responsibilities on my shoulders while also being pregnant. It brings me pain in knowing that there are most likely girls out there that will think, "If Kylie can do it, so can I."

No, ladies. That is not the answer.

Just because Jenner is bringing in millions, it does not mean that she is mature and capable, and neither are any of you who might have that idea. There is still so much life ahead of you and I am here to remind you to keep studying hard in school and chase your dreams.

Never let a star figure interrupt you and make you re-think your dreams in the wrong way.

Although I believe that it is smart of Jenner to keep her pregnancy hidden as opposed to flaunting it, the attention around her must die down. The attention introduces young girls to the wrong idea and disrupts our society from focusing on what is important.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
