fangirl dilemma – distracted from India

First — congrats to Suz and Lauren for winning the BAMF one-liner contest! Expect a mug-o-BAMF soon!

Now for this week’s dilemma,

Rashmi writes,

I’m from India. My age is 14 years. I need your advice. I’m fangirling over a sports star who is already engaged. Due to this fangirling, I’m not able to concentrate on my studies. I want to reduce it. Please help me.

14! How exciting to be 14 and have your whole life in front of you. I can’t even remember what I was crazy about when I was 14. Definitely not having braces or letting my mom cut my bangs into a hot mess. It’s all uphill from here Rashmi, I assure you. Life will never be any more awkward than it is right now.

I don’t know who this fiancée of your sports star is, but my best guess is the only thing she will ever be known for is being this guy’s wife. When you, my friend, have much bigger and better things ahead of you. All those lovely hormones make teenagers drown in creys a little faster and deeper than older fangirls, so it can feel impossible to snap out of it. But I can assure you that ten years from now, you won’t even remember his name. Keep your eyes on the prize, but also make sure to make time to do what you love during the week. Studies are important, but so is taking care of you. Oh, and don’t get married until you’re 30.

Love,

Kathleen
