Transcendentalism Post

Transcendentalists can be described in several different ways. Whether it is unique, different, special, or weird, they do what they think is right for themselves. They ignore the comments from others and live their life in their own mindset. Above all else, they look to themselves, and it will either inspire or disgust others. In the world of modern-day pop culture, Nicole Polizzi, otherwise known as Snooki, is the type of transcendentalist who makes her own decisions and completely disregards others’ responses.

Snooki, who is most known for being on Jersey Shore, can be described as anything but a conformist. Her unique sense of style and behavior has led her to be perceived in many different ways, whether good or bad. Her many different personalities have led her to be a successful TV star, author, and entrepreneur, despite harsh criticism and comments.

Snooki, now age 23, was born in Chile, but then adopted by an Italian family from Marlboro, New York. The influences from her close-knit Italian family led her to be the way she is—a girl with two different sides, one a wild and crazy guidette, the other a shy and fun-loving girl. Her experiences in high school, which included being bullied, inspired her to be who she is today, the girl who does and says what she wants and does not let anything bring her down.  Although she is seen by many as the wild, inappropriate star of Jersey Shore, she has disregarded the comments, knowing her lifestyle on the show is not always the life she lives.

“I still get bullied by tabloids calling me “gross”…at this point I’m just like ‘whatever hater.’ It just gives me more motivation to succeed and prove everyone wrong. I never care what other people, the haters, think. I never let it get the best of me, and I think it’s a great quality every girl should have.”

The success of the star’s life has let her be the strong personality she is today. She claims, “Nobody can get to me at this point.” She also believes that inspiring others to be who they want is the best there is. “You can be any nationality. You have to have that attitude, be strong, independent, and go about your life like it’s your own world.”
