8 Reasons You Want To Be A Kardashian And 7 Reasons You Don't

Have you ever really considered what it would be like to be a Kardashian? Unfortunately, we'll never get the opportunity to be included in one of the most controversial families in today's society, but that doesn't mean we can't ponder the reasons we want to be one and don't want to be. Sure, there are probably a staggering amount of reasons that becoming a Kardashian would be a bad idea, and this list will dabble in just a few of them. Is it possible that the pros outweigh the cons? The money, status, and clothes are a lucrative bounty that most of us will only ever dream of achieving, but the family is wrought with scandals and bad press that make most of us balk when we hear their names. It might be difficult to understand why they're famous, but it gives us a chance to consider what it might be like to be one. Here are 8 reasons you want to be a Kardashian and 7 reasons you seriously don't!

15 You Do: Being Rewarded For Nothing

If you feel like the Kardashian's receive a ton of praise for doing a ton of nothing, you might be on to something! They earn a lot of revenue from being the stars of a television show that is about their everyday life, which is something you'd like to sign up for. If you could be paid an atrocious amount for cameras to film you watching Netflix and eating an unhealthy amount of pizza, you would totally be all over that before you could even wipe the pizza sauce from your face. Do you want to be praised for publishing a book of selfies? All you have to do is become a Kardashian because it's somehow acceptable to do that when you're that outrageously famous. This is definitely a reason you'd be okay with being a Kardashian. Being praised for mundane things might make your life that much better. The idea of not putting any effort toward being famous but being famous anyway is pretty appealing to everyone and anyone.

14 You Don't: Being Addicted To Attention

Let's bring up that book of selfies again, shall we? Not that there's anything wrong with thinking that the public would want to have a book filled with pictures of your face on their coffee table! But being addicted to getting attention on a Kardashian l might kind of suck. It can be argued that their entire existence revolves around attention and that their fame stands on the pillars of the attention they get for sheer stupidity. Sure, maybe you'd want to be a Kardashian because they're famous for seemingly no reason, since they don't have any typical talents that you associate with fame, but you don't want to be addicted to attention. This is a large reason being a Kardashian would be challenging because always seeking attention feels morally compromising for most people. While it might seem like it would be the dream to be the Kardashian for the fame and fortune, there's a reason they're not the most loved family in Hollywood.

13 You Do: They're Always Becoming More Powerful

The family is always growing. They multiply, they intensify, and soon they might take over the world (well, if they haven't already!). It seems unlikely that we'll get through the Kardashian era without at least one of them trying to get into the White House. To be part of that type of family would be an experience not many people have in their lifetime. They dominate the world of television and the fashion industry, and with Tyga and Kanye now officially amongst the ranks of the Kardashian's, it looks like they're taking their claim on the music industry as well. It won't be long before they're running the entire world, which is all the more reason you want to be one. They've even dabbled in the world of sports, trying to worm their way into that industry as well… but Lamar Odom and Kris Humphries aren't truly part of the clan anymore. This is definitely a reason you wish you were a Kardashian.

12 You Don't: Living In The Spotlight

While it's easy to say how much easier our lives would be if we were rich and famous, there are certainly some downsides that we don't always acknowledge. Living in the spotlight might be fun for a day and it definitely has its perks, but it would be totally exhausting the majority of the time! When Kim Kardashian went through the horrors of that robbery, she hunkered down to recover from the traumatic experience, but the cameras gave her no privacy. Whenever she left the house, it was documented, and that's probably the last thing you need when you're going through a hard time. It's emotionally taxing and would be frustrating for the majority of us. We totally don't want to be filmed every time we leave the house without makeup on! This is a glaring reason why being a Kardashian might totally suck because they will never be able to lead normal lives… and you kind of like having your sanity.

11 You Do: Lack Of Boredom

One problem with a normal life is that boredom is totally a factor at times! It's true that there is an excessive amount of emotional and mental strain when you're part of the Kardashian family. Not only are they sort of crazy, but they're literally always being watched. However, despite all the downfalls, there is always something going on in that family. There is no such thing as a normal or sane family, but the Kardashians might trump most families when it comes to entertaining drama, which would mean you'll never be bored again. While you're humming and hawing if being a Kardashian is really for you, this is definitely something to consider. Plus, you would be just as amused when the cameras finally go off, and you would get to see what the Kardashian family is like when they're not wearing makeup. Unfortunately, we can only dream, but this is a big reason being a Kardashian could be amazing.

10 You Don't: Lack Of Confidence

It might appear from the multitude of selfies they post every day that the Kardashians are the most confident people in the world, but appearances can be deceiving. While their lives are glamorous, that fame is at a price that is all too easy to overlook. They're inserting themselves into the media at every chance they get, and they have to go to extreme levels to continuously turn heads. They're always wearing a full face of makeup, they have their hair and nails done on a weekly basis, and their "careers" basically revolve around maintaining the persona they've created on social media. So who are they really? When you live precariously through the likes and attention of others, it's hard to maintain a sense of confidence or true identity. This would make life challenging and stressful, and it would be impossible to be remotely human even for a minute. Being a Kardashian could come at a serious and compromising cost because of this!

9 You Do: The Clothes

It's almost impossible to deny this one. Chances are, you would be happy to be any celebrity simply because they get to wear the most sought after clothes in the entire industry! They set the trends, they wear the hottest things, and it would be pretty cool to have a stylist at your disposal. You might detest the materialistic nature that encompasses their entire family, but you would be totally down to be in the family to live such a lavish life filled with accessories and designer clothes. The Kardashians are so influential to the world of fashion, that they're called upon to represent it during Fashion Week, major line releases, and even the coveted Victoria Secret Fashion Show. Yup, you can see yourself enjoying literally all of that, and all it takes is becoming a Kardashian. Where can you sign up?! This is one of the reasons that joining this family would be a total dream!

8 You Don't: The Bad Press

It's true that you shouldn't care what people think about you. You should live your life according to how you want to live it and tune out any of the noise from negative outlets. Except… what if they have a point?! The Kardashians receive a lot of bad press, and some people might argue that it's totally warranted. They're strangely revered, and some celebrities believe that it sells the wrong idea about what our society values. The constant attention seeking, the narcissism, and the materialism, really doesn't bode well with a lot of people. Sure, the Kardashians do a good job of not letting anybody step on their toes, but could you handle that? It might not be worth being a Kardashian when you have the rest of the world constantly hating on you because that could create some serious emotional turmoil. Maybe you'd be the Kardashian everyone loves, but living with all the criticism would be a complete challenge!

7 You Do: The Family Support

The Kardashians are always there for each other. Usually. Their drama steals all the headlines and storylines so you might not know this, but even the most outrageous events that transpire within the family are usually followed with love and support. Not all families are capable of that. It's easy to believe that perhaps the love and support is faked for the camera, but how could they truly manage their insane and erratic lives without a little strength from the family? It probably isn't always real, but to be part of a family that has been through so much together and always maintains their devotion to each other is an experience that you might envy. There's probably a great sense of comfort between them, and who wouldn't want that in their lives? There might not be a lot of reasons you want to be a Kardashian, but this could be one of them!

6 You Don't: The Drama

One of the biggest reasons that most people don't want to ever be a Kardashian is the fact that their lives are regularly turned upside down and thrown around like pillows during a teen girls' sleepover. There is rarely a sense of peace, and while the topics of drama range from shallow to deeply serious, there never seems to be an end to it. Have you been keeping up with the chaos of Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's tattered relationship? Plus, there have been all kinds of rumors that Kanye and Kim have been going through a hard time since his mental breakdown and her struggles after the robbery. They make questionable decisions that lead to constant drama, and while some of it is out of their control, it can be frustrating to watch them make stupid decisions. It would probably annoy you more if you actually were a Kardashian, and it's probably a good thing you're not.

5 You Do: We Want To Ask Kanye What's Up

Hey Kanye, what the hell are you doing? Most of the time? At any given time? That's something that you could casually ask this man if you were a part of the family. It might be a bad idea to question him, but it would also give you the chance to ask him why he sells plain white shirts for over one hundred dollars. The more you hang out with him, the more you'd realize you have a whole lot to ask him. Like were you the one that thought it would be a good idea to name your child North West, or was that all Kim? We can certainly chalk up the name Saint to Kanye, considering he thinks he's God's gift to mankind, so it seems like something he would name his son. You might want to be a Kardashian just so you can chill with Kanye and figure out what he's doing most of the time. That's a legitimate reason, right?!

4 You Don't: The Questionable Morals

Their questionable morals might be why they receive such horrendous press. There was enough evidence that Caitlyn Jenner was speeding to support a vehicular manslaughter charge. A lot of people believe that Caitlyn was let off easy thanks to her status and wealth. It was not long after this accident that Kylie Jenner was caught on her phone while driving, which implies a complete lack of care for human life. Another instance that is often added to the pile when speaking of the Kardashian's morals, is Kim's 72-day wedding, which was filled with drama during the divorce process that lasted seven times longer than the marriage. Do you think the Kardashians' morals are questionable? It would be impossible to want to be one if you do. It might be best to look in the mirror and see that you're happy being exactly who you are and not one of them.

3 You Do: We Wanna Be North's Cool Aunt

Not that the aunts she currently has right now aren't cool, but the girl might seriously need some perspective in her life. Considering how insane Kim and Kanye tend to be, she could need more of an anchor in her life, and she's a pretty cool little girl. Who wouldn't want to hang out with her all day? Sure, she's already richer than you'll ever be, but that's the luck of the draw. You should probably be grateful that Kim and Kanye aren't your parents, and have sympathy for the cute little girl. Being a part of the Kardashian's would mean you get to hang out with all the cute babies, so maybe it's worth it. It's probably pretty interesting to see little ones grow up in that environment, but more importantly, being their cool aunt would mean the two of you would be best friends forever. That might sound like a pretty rad deal.

2 You Don't: Living With Them Would Be Terrifying

Forget the drama -- what's truly scary? Rob Kardashian's weird sock line. That's scary, and if you were a part of that family you'd have to associate yourself with that. Kim used to own a Swarovski-encrusted fridge, and that is extremely uncomfortable to think about. Plus, she blow dries all of her jewelry before she wears it, and that's a level of commitment you can't handle. Also, Kris has black toilet paper in all of her bathrooms, which is alarming. The bottom line is that living with them would be terrifying for all the reasons we do know, and more importantly, all the reasons we don't. Kim said her greatest fear of life is getting stretchmarks. Like, seriously?! That statement alone is enough to make you question the family if you weren't already. If they're going to say things like that, living with them would be impossible and scary, so you really don't want to be one.

1 You Do: The Wealth

Undeniably, this might be the only reason you would ever seriously want to be a Kardashian. Their fame is based on their wealth as well as their lifestyle, which is exactly what intrigues people that can't fathom that amount of money. With that kind of cash, you could live however you please, and even disown yourself from the family if they really bothered you that much. Kim Kardashian's net worth is about 150 million dollars, which has you seeing dollar signs and makes you wish you could be part of the lucrative family more than you thought. Of course money isn't everything, but it would make your life a whole lot easier if you had as much as they do. Plus, you'd probably use it in better ways. There are probably more reasons you don't want to be a Kardashian than there are reasons that you do, but it's hard not to imagine what their lives might be like!
