Why Celebrities Are Overrated

Have you ever heard the question 'If your life was a movie, which actor/actress would you want to be you in that movie?'

Well, to me, this question is overrated. We spend most of our time admiring and comparing our lives to those who have the "celebrity" status instead of what is happening around us. We see all of those celebrities in movies, TV shows, concerts, and more.

Now I admit that I am guilty of this myself, but do we all realize that they are still human and doing their jobs like the rest of us? Yes, their jobs include making music, playing a role on TV or a series, traveling the world, and going to award shows.

When you go to a grocery store you see a bunch of magazines containing the latest gossip about the biggest celebrities around like Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and so many more. When did we all start caring more about what the Kardashians are doing than how we are living our lives?

Why do some people care that their life is not just like one of the celebrities' so much that they are willing to go through major surgeries to look like them? When did this become the norm?

Even though I watch movies and TV shows, listen to music and go to concerts (which are fun to go to and fun to watch), I will not live my life to be exactly like the celebrities. Each of us are unique and different, we are not meant to be the same and live our lives exactly like the other.

I will dress the way I want and not let today's society tell me that it is not acceptable to wear it because it is not cool. I will listen to the music that I like and watch the shows that I like no matter how unpopular it is by most of society. I will vote for who I believe would be the better candidate. I will be me no matter who society tells me who I should be.

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.
