Blogpost 3: "YOLO in Hollywood"

Not only the normal people uses the phrase YOLO. This is also common for Hollywood celebrities. This is also the reason why YOLO is so epidemic. Because celebrities has a huge influence to us specially to the teenagers, which is accompanied by the social medias that causes them to have more power to influence other people. Which has good and bad effects depending on how they adapt the said phrase.



I read an article by Tehrene Firman titled, "5 Celebs Obsessed with YOLO" in teen.com. She presented different Hollywood celebrities who are taking their love for YOLO, and some maybe a little too far. Some of the them are; Zac Efron, he ] is very known for his handsome face. And started to be famous on his musical movie High School Musical. He made his love for the phrase permanent by tattooing YOLO into his hand. Next is Selena Gomez, she is a famous teen singer in Hollywood. She is also the ex girlfriend of Justin Beiber. She is wearing a YOLO shirt which symbolizes her support for the phrase. And also one of the famous families in Hollywood The Kardashians and Jenners are huge fans of YOLO, they show their love for it in the social media. Khloe Kardashian tweeted “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” Kylie Jenner tweeted, “I’ve had such a yolo weekend.” And even Kim K. kept up with the family trend, saying, “Go ahead and indulge yourself #yolo.”

The second article i read is by Isabella Shaya titled, "You Only Live Once" in statenews.com. She imposed her opinion regarding the phrase. Since celebrities support YOLO, she also should. That's why she join the crowd in this craze. But, when she heard about people getting YOLO tattoos, she knew that it already gone too far. The idea is correct, but the saying itself is stupid. The author agreed with in having this mind-set, that one of living every day like it's your last and finding the good in every moment. But disagrees when YOLO is being overuse. She concluded that there are two mindsets you can have when you embrace YOLO: a serious one, where you spend your time with your family and doing good things; or unreasonable one, wherein you make rash decisions in your life.

The following articles reminds us to be wise in choosing who are we going to idolize. Because, this is can also the affect the way we live. In the way that we might imply in our lives the things that we see to the people we idolize, which can either ruin or build our personality.

Tehrene Firman said in her blog that, "If you haven't heard about the phrase "YOLO"  yet you've been iving under a rock."  

The quote explains how fast is the trend going in our environment now a days. Which is accompanied by the internet where in we are one click away from the information we want to know. That's why we should be wise enough in using it and implying itin our life. We should not overuse it in the way that can harm and other people.
