Why The Kardashians Are Killing Girls' Confidence

Their lives are like everyone's' lives on Instagram; not real.

Now I know we’re all familiar with the famous family (the family that everyone questions how they even got famous), The Kardashian/Jenners: Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie. These beauties are EVERYWHERE doing EVERYTHING. We see it all day long on social media. They live the most lavish lifestyles and don't want you to forget it. They seem like they have perfect lives (excuse me if I’m a little bitter over it). If I’m keeping it real, you must know, I’m legit a KUWTK junkie. Every Sunday night at 9PM I’m snuggle in bed with a bottle of wine and chips and dip waiting for the infamous Kim K to appear on the screen dishing out some sort of juicy family drama that instantly hooks me for the next 60 minutes.

Since they’ve gotten so famous over the past few years, people seem to forget that there was a time before they ruled the media. Let’s go back in time to 2007 when Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant/closet organizer. Yaaas, throwback.

The unrealistic beauty standards.

After watching the show for so many years and staring in awe at them, I’ve come to the conclusion that their entire lives are constructed to be marketed. The girls are beautiful, yes, but they definitely don’t wake up like that. Like at all. They have an entire glam squad surrounding them 24/7. That’s why they always look so flawless.

Surgery.

Don't even get me started. Kim swears up and down that her ass is real and even went as far as getting an x-ray of her butt while filming KUWTK. When the x-ray showed that she didn't have butt implants, we believed her for a split second. That's until we put 2+2 together and realized that she got fat injected into her ass, which wouldn't show up on an x-ray. Smart.

I'll just leave this here.

Weave.

Personally, I love hair extensions (or weave, as I call it). Extensions can make your look go from drab to Uber fab and what the hell is wrong with that? Absolutely nothing! Unless you’re wearing them wrong, and trust me, we’ve all been there. I’ve worn extensions for years, and I’m obsessed. I think it’s so cool that I can rock an outfit with short hair or long hair whenever I want. Have you noticed how often the Kardashian’s switch up their hair color and length? One day Kim has jet-black hair, and the next she’s caramel blonde. Khloe has been my number one hair envy lately, though. She can rock her short hair or her extensions. Like you can’t tell at all. That’s dope. Get it girl.


Fashion.

I live for the style of these beauties. Their outfits are literally ALWAYS on point, 100%. It’s actually unhealthy to always look that good. No matter the season, these girls are always looking extra fleek-y. They give me style inspo year-round, which is kind of odd considering they live in California and only have one season. Coming from a New York girl, I’m so jealous that they live in summer 365 days a year. Here is a best look so far from 2016:


These women are dominating the beauty/fashion business and definitely don't plan on stopping anytime soon. They are a brand. They market themselves. If they don't appear perfect to you, then they aren't doing their jobs correctly. So the next time you feel envious of them, think about how their success didn't happen overnight (okay maybe it did, literally, thanks Ray J), and before all that surgery they were normal people with flaws. While they're still killing it in makeup and fashion, though, let's pay attention so we can slay our looks just like they do.

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.
