It is no secret that many people know more about pop culture than the conflicts occurring in this world. And I am guilty of this. In fact, I would say that view magazine articles and the like is a mode of escape from the humdrum of my daily life. But, this knowledge of Celebrities does not do me any good with the rest of my life. 

I mean, I could be spending this time to become more educated on the world affairs happening today. And I'm sure that these affairs should take more precedence over Kanye West naming his child, North West. I just want to know why there is so much hype about celebrities when there is so much distraught situations in the world. 

Recently, I have been watching many BBC documentaries on the lost, the underprivileged, and the forgotten. There are so many people in this world who could benefit from the extra attention and resources that we could actually provide them. How much money do you think People magazine makes from their publications of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian? I'm sure that it is an insane amount. What if this money went to orphans within the USA?

As a society, I just don't think we have our priorities straight. And I am embarrassed to say that I also fall within this category. I want to make a difference in my life. But, it is obviously easier said than done. 

I am currently going in to my Junior year at university. And I have also obtained an internship position for the Summer of 2013. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to attend university. Unlike a lot of my peers, my parents are paying for all of my expenses. This includes food, housing, tuition, etc. For this, I am extremely grate. Also, I am very lucky to have obtained an internship related to my major. I am receiving an education and I have the starting basis to make my career because I have now gained some experience. But, I know others are not so lucky. In fact, I feel like I am taking these two awesomely opportunities for granted.
