Pop Culture Hook Up

Okay this next blog is going to be about everybody and anything that is famous, popular or that you/I love. Ok so it’s mostly going to be about famous people and who are my favorites, if you want to tell me about some you love comment and I’ll discuss them! Okay so lately I have been obsessed with watching Jenna Marbles videos on YouTube. This girl is so funny, she will tell it like it is and yes they are pretty inappropriate but they are so true. She imitates famous people or acts out real life scenarios but in a way that makes you laugh so hard, you know you got a good ab work out from it. My favorite video by her is the one she does about Ke$ha called Deep Thoughts With Ke$ha, if you haven’t seen it, I would advise you to watch it after you are read this post. Unless you are in my class and we are in class because that would be weird.
                The next person I am going to be talking about isn’t just one person, it’s a band. The band I have always loved but recently I cannot get enough of is Maroon 5. They came out with a new cd this past month called OverExposed and I’m listening to it right now, that’s how good it is. So if you haven’t heard it, go listen to it! I have always liked Maroon 5 but for some reason right now I cannot get enough of them! Their lead singer Adam Levine is a judge on The Voice and if you haven’t seen or heard about this show, you are probably living under a rock and/ or using internet for the first time!
                The next person I am going to talk about is also not just one person. It is a family. I bet you already guessed what family I am going to talk about. The Kardashians! This crazy family is literally famous for almost no reason at all and that’s why you either love them or hate them. There is absolutely no in between for the Kardashians, you either love them or hate them and I personally love them! Even though they are all super busy and famous they are still a regular family that love each other and that’s why everyone watches it! That or you want to be them or be their best friend. If you are one of those people, I know how you feel. I personally want to be best friends with Kendall Jenner and you can judge me all you want but if you met them you would probably freak to. Anyway if you have never seen the show I suggest you watch at least 2 episodes and you will probably be hooked. Don’t judge it before you watch it! The end! (474)

Twitter Buzz

Okay so today we are going to be talking about the newest social media site that everyone has become obsessed with. Yes this post is going to be about twitter. What is so great about this site? Why is it so incredibly popular now? I don’t have the answer to the second question but the first one is because it’s so much fun! Not to mention it is super addicting! It is so nice to get on twitter and follow whoever you want and see what they are up to constantly, even though that makes you kind of sound like a complete stalker, it’s still fun! I’m also not the only one who does it so it’s ok.
                I first got a twitter when I was in 8th grade when almost no one had one. When I first got it, I said what almost everyone else says when they get it, this is stupid, why did I just get this account? When you are just starting out on twitter, it is super confusing and you ask yourself why the heck am I following this random chick named Jenna Marbles or itweetfacts? Then you keep going back on and you become obsessed with what these people are constantly doing or what interesting facts they are tweeting about. When I first got twitter I was on it for about 5 minutes, then the more I kept getting on it the more I just couldn’t get away from it! On twitter you can be whoever you want to be and follow whoever you want! If you have a twitter that your kind of embarrassed about my suggestion is don’t use your first and last name and don’t use your actual picture of yourself. You can also get another account with your first and last name that you are okay with everyone in the entire school seeing it. Which brings me to a precaution about twitter and pretty much the entire internet period, don’t post anything on twitter that you don’t want your classmates or friends to see! People will be talking about it because almost everyone has a twitter now a days.
                If you don’t have a twitter my advice is to try it! Trust me, everyone has said that twitter is stupid because to be honest with you twitter is kind of stupid and I have absolutely no idea why the heck I am so obsessed with it but if you try it I can almost guarantee that you will be almost as much in love with it as I am or more. If you’re not, that’s okay, just delete the account or never go on it! No one cares but at least try it! You cannot knock it until you try it. I know you think it is probably a dumb idea but let me ask you, did you think the same thing about facebook? When I was younger I never wanted to get a facebook either but I did and I still check mine, not as much as twitter but still. Okay so the morale of this story is get a twitter, it is awesome. You will end up loving it forever. (532)

Summer Time High

This next post is going to be about summer. You know that time of the year when you get to sleep in everyday and hang out with your friends all night and you have so much time to do whatever you want? I think most teenagers would agree that it is their favorite time of the year. I’ll be honest my favorite part is the sleep! During the school year sleep just does not exist with school, Work, extracurricular activities, friends, family and whatever else you can squeeze in between all that.
The next best thing about summer is hanging out with your friends every night! It’s like your Friday is constantly on repeat and who doesn’t love it? During the summer you make the best memories with your friends and you become closer with them to.
The next best thing about summer is all the time you have. I don’t know about you but my days are so busy just because I have so much more time to do them! This is not always the best thing though because for me that means spending more of my money… Oh well! When I’m not spending money then I’m trying to make it, it’s a constant cycle.
Even though summer is the best time of the year, by the end of the summer you are kind of ready to get back to school and seeing all of your friends every day and seeing the people you don’t normally see over the summer. Also when you go back to school something about Friday just becomes more fun and you tend to have more fun on the Friday nights where you’ve been at school all week because you’re ready to release all that stress! When Sunday comes around though and you haven’t started any of your homework you know you are ready to start the whole cycle all over again. Although this was the best summer I have ever had, I will admit I was ready to go back to the old school cycle again and see my friends every day and learn I guess…

Meatball Problemz

Today this post is going to be about Nicole Polizzi or as we all know her Snooki. Snooki became famous on her first season of MTV’s hit show The Jersey Shore which started in 2009. For those of you who do not know about the show it is about eight strangers (in the beginning) that live close to New Jersey, to go to the Jersey shore for a summer and live with 7 other strangers. These Italian young adults went out every night clubbing and having fun (always included drinking) for the entire summer. This in turn made them come closer as friends. They are all like family to each other now that they have gone through 5 summers of living together; you become closer with your roommates. They were also many quarrels as well. In the first season one of the roommates, Angelina, caused so much drama between everyone. After the second season she never came back. Throughout the seasons you will find another instigator or trouble maker, Mike “The Situation”. He causes drama between all of the roommates because he gets into everyone’s business and spreads rumors. Mostly with Snooki. Another big drama is between Sam and Ron, and their constant fighting. Their relationship is the most unhealthy I have ever seen. They care about each other so much but all they do is hurt each other. In the end they will always care about each other but they cannot stay in a relationship with one another. At the end of each season though, everyone realizes how much they really do love each other and how they are going to miss each other when the summer is over.  Now that you know about the show she became famous from, let’s talk about Snooki. She recently just had a baby boy named Lorenzo and today we the discussion is going to be about whether or not she can handle being a mother. When she first told everyone she was pregnant, everyone was shocked. It shouldn’t have been such a shock though because Snook had sex so much and sex obviously leads to pregnancy, so it was bound to happen sometime. You see her journey of her pregnancy on the Jersey Shore spinoff Snooki and JWOWW and in the beginning you can tell she is not ready to have the baby. In my honest opinion I still don’t think she is ready to have a baby, even though she already has but I also don’t think she will be a completely horrible mother. Snooki had to go from being a hardcore partier to a mom within a year. I still don’t think she understands the whole concept of being a mother but I can also tell that she will try her hardest. Most people agree that Snooki is not ready to be a mother but ready or not she has to be one. Luckily she has the support of both families and all of her roommates, so she and the baby will be fine. Snooki in the end will learn all the things there is to know about motherhood and if she has another child, she will be prepared for it.

Taylor Swift Download

This next post is going to be about Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is a country pop artist that who at this moment is very popular. Some of her more popular songs include her song Love Story, Teardrops on My Guitar, Should’ve Said No and Back To December. She started singing at a young age but her talent really started showing when she was 12. She wrote her first song by the age of 14. She made her big debut in music around the age of 17, when she released her first album Taylor Swift. Since then she has won several awards and has been named Entertainer of the Year. Recently Taylor has released a new single called We Are Never Getting Back Together. This song is different from anything Taylor has ever done before. It is a mixture of pop and alternative/indie music; the song has a more pop feel than any of her other songs have had. This newly released song sound nothing like her country songs she released before. It still has all of the same concepts as all Taylor Swift songs. They are all about relationships. What I like about this song is because it is so different than anything she has ever done before. I like that she is venturing into different types of music but still staying with the same things she always has. It’s like she’s trying to expand her views without venturing away from who she was/is. Also the song is different because there is some comic relief in it as well. Taylor also performed this song at the VMA’s on September 6th and it was the best performance Taylor has ever done in her entire career in my opinion. This is because she never went out of her range and she could hit all of her notes with ease. She also seemed incredibly comfortable on stage with her dance moves, singing, and with the outfit she was wearing. Instead of wearing a big glitzy dress like she normally does on stage she was wearing shorts and a stripe t-shirt on stage. She also looked like she was having so much fun on stage with the dancers and the song. I think as Taylor gets older, she will understand what works for her and what she is comfortable doing and this will make her career soar even more than it already has, even though she is incredibly successful already I think she will get better as she ages.

How To: Shop For Homecoming Dresses

Today I am going to be talking about how to: Shop for a homecoming dress (or dresses for special occasions). First, when you are shopping look at dresses that fit your body shape and flatter them. Also look for something that is a little more comfortable, you don’t want to be in an uncomfortable dress all night that you can’t breathe in and people will be able to tell that you are very uncomfortable as well. If you are curvy, A line dresses would be a good choice. If you are smaller, dresses that show off your curves would be best. Second, shop early, the earlier you shop the faster your dress will come and you can take more time to pick it out because you started earlier. Also when you get your dress early it is easier to get any alterations you need done to your dress done earlier, so in the end the alterations will be cheaper because there is no rush. Also if your alterations are done wrong you have time to fix those also. If your dress does not fit correctly you also have time to return it. Third, find the styles you like before you start picking dresses out. If you are buying online and you don’t know what kind of dress you like or what kind of dress flatters you and you purchase one, you will most likely not be happy with your purchase and because dresses do not come cheap you will be even more upset about your big purchase. A good way to pick what you like is to go to a dress shop first and try on dresses to find out what your style is. Another way is to look at the popular styles on television at the moment and see whether you like them or not.  These are just a few tips that will hopefully make it easier for you to find your homecoming dress this coming fall. Have Fun!
