Lori Loughlin Ruined Her Life

OMG…I’m going to have to get on my parent soapbox for this one. Perhaps the name, “Olivia Jade” sounds familiar? It should, this is Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s daughter…

OMG...I'm going to have to get on my parent soapbox for this one. Perhaps the name, "Olivia Jade" sounds familiar? It should, this is Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli's daughter at the center of the notorious college admissions scandal.

She claims her parents have "ruined her life."

First off, you're 19...you don't know what a "life" is at this point.

Second, you're parents screwed up and broke the law, but they did it FOR YOU. They are most guilty for trying to ensure the best opportunity for your lifelong success that they could provide.

And finally, you were an "influencer." There is NOTHING more tenuous than that social media title and moniker.  It is subject to the whims and sudden changes in styles and trends.  And if your style doesn't meet the new one...

How about you take a step back. Take a deep breath, and start working towards a future...WITH the future. What...did you think you were gonna do YouTube videos talking about your love of a certain mascara for your whole life?

Have you thought about how this could be the biggest favor life could have handed you? By showing you how fast the false world you were living in can disappear, perhaps now you can focus on doing something of consequence, something that makes a difference for you and for others.

Then...yes then, you may know what a "life" is.

And you will realize, this bump in the road in life is FAR from a "ruining" incident.

Okay, off soapbox.
