Luke Bryan for President.

Luke Bryan is God's gift to the female population and I think I can safely say the male population, too. The majority of my male friends have confessed their love for the beautiful, country sensation we call Luke Bryan. After a friend and I have established our mutual love for this singer, we can comfortably converse about his smile, voice, arm muscles, or any of his other perfect physical attributes. It's safe to say I am border line obsessed with all that Luke Bryan is and will ever be. I even have become a fan of the show "Buck Commander," a popular hunting show, because Luke Bryan regularly makes appearances. Pop Culture has comforted and normalized my fetish by confirming parasocial relationships are ordinary and common. Disclosing our parasocial relationships early in the semester, I believe, brought our lecture together. Through sharing what we believed to be obsessive, personal accounts created confirmation we weren't insane but unified in our perceptions.

Through our study of parasocial relationships, I became fascinated with the idea of having a one-sided relationship. Are these relationships fulfilling, healthy, or productive? Or rather do they leave one unsatisfied and full of cognitive dissonance? I firmly believe in the cliche "everything in moderation." This holds true to parasocial relationships because it is human nature to seek out other things or people that help you achieve a sense of wholeness. In a sense, the parasocial relationships we find ourselves in are more of a passion than a relationship at all. I am passionate about the music Luke Bryan creates and his physical physique. I like to think of a relationship in terms of knowing someone's mind and what makes them tick and unfortunately, I do not know this of Mr. Bryan. Becoming passionate and well-versed in as many entities as possible makes you a very interesting and colorful conversation partner over coffee.
