Why Celebrity Relationships Fail

Just because a celebrity couple splits up doesn't mean love is dead.

Why Celebrity Relationships Fail

I don't think I have ever seen this many posts about Chris Pratt and Anna Faris separating in my life. I can't help, but shake my head at #loveisdead in fans' reactions.

Celebrities are famous people, whom people look up to as role models and believe that they are more godlike than human. Despite having money, looks, and fame, they still suffer like we do everyday, including their own relationships. People tend to view celebrity couples as "relationship goals." The truth is that celebrities are humans like us, but with larger bank accounts, bigger homes, bigger pain, and less privacy. Here are 5 common reasons why some celebrity relationships don't last:

1. TOO. MUCH. EGO

Demanding staff, long hours, constant traveling, and cramming your lines in makes it hard for celebrities to make time for each other because they're too caught up with their jobs and need to keep their fame alive.

3. Jealously

One celebrity is more beautiful, popular, famous, and richer than the other celebrity making him or her jealous and driven to get more attention from fans.

4. Competition

Instead of a concept of being connected, celebrities tend to see their relationship as a competition because one wants to be better than the other.

5. Publicity

Most fans of celebrities don't want to believe that some super-famous celebrities marry other super-famous for publicity instead of love. The sad story is some celebrities would rather search for ways to boost their fame instead of marrying for love. Celebrities also tend to care too much about what their fans think about their relationships instead of their opinions.

What to learn from failed celebrity relationships

Just because a celebrity couple splits up doesn't mean love is dead. According to studies 40 to 50% percents of marriages end in divorce. Don't let this percentage or amount of celebrity break ups ruin your hopes of love. Don't think date or marry someone just to make anyone happy. Be someone who makes you happy. Who cares if someone is more good-looking, wealthier, and more popular? None of these things make a relationship stronger. Love, trust, respect, and acceptance are the authentic qualities of building a relationship.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.
