Rich Girls example essay topic

In October of 2003, MTV aired the first ever episode of a show called Rich Girls which is a reality series that follows two young, wealthy girls throughout their daily life. The first time I saw the advertisement for this show I have to admit, I was pretty appalled. Who would ever want to watch a show about two rich, stuck up girls going on thousand dollar shopping sprees while they prance around in their chauffeured limo? Well, I guess I was one of those people. I didn't want to watch it at first, but I was almost drawn into it.

As I sat in my small, cubicle of a dorm room eating my Cup-Of-Soup noodles I watched in silence as the show winded down minute by minute. After it was over, I wasn't sure what made me more furious: when they talked about how they treat the garbage man like the salesperson from Prada, their persistent complaining and nagging or the fact that they were just so shallow and fake. Ally Hilfiger and Jaime Gleichen were born into rich families, there's nothing you can do about that, but I am not too keen on how people act with money that they didn't earn. If they wanted to do a show on the life of Jennifer Lopez and how she likes to spend her millions, that would be understandable because we all know she worked hard to get where she is. But when I see those ungrateful, lazy, never-worked-a-day-in-their-life, spoiled brats talk about such useless things, it's hard to comprehend why they get such an easy life, and the rest of us don't. After watching the past couple episodes, I have come to a conclusion.

Rich Girls honestly makes me feel better about myself. It's hard to sit there and watch them live their life, but once you really depict what's going on, you can see that they don't have it as well off as you might think. Ally Hilfiger actually had to thank her dad for coming to her graduation (it's a sad thing when you have to thank your own father for attending such an important occasion), Jaime and Ally have only one friend that hangs out with them and their conversations are so shallow and materialistic that I would rather have an intellectual discussion with Jessica Simpson. I feel bad that they haven't had a job and that they don't know what it is like to work for hard-earned money.

Those are the type of things that make us better people. The struggles and the strife's that we go through are the things that make us stronger; Ally and Jaime will never go through those things. So, instead of me constantly ridiculing the show, I want to thank the girls for making me appreciate what I have and being thankful that my life isn't so easy..
