LIFE

Dear Carol,
I am what you would call starstruck. I always dream about meeting certain actors and actresses. Why can I be like everyone else and like the boy next door?
–Starstruck

Dear Starstruck,
Stars shine brightest in magazines and interviews. In real life, celebs have to brush and floss just like the rest of us. That said, many girls like to read up on the rich and famous. Which is fine—unless you’re waking up miserable because you aren’t a certain actor’s best friend or main squeeze. If it’s no longer fun to be a fan, get busier with you’re here and now.

Take up a new sport or instrument. Start a monthly book club with friends and maybe even their moms. Take an acting class and if your community has a theater, audition. You may be a star yourself someday—but you’ll still have to brush and floss! As for the boy next door, perhaps you don’t yet feel ready for the roller coaster of real romance.  And that’s fine.
