Kendall Jenner just achieved one of her ultimate goals: she’s on the cover of the September issue of Vogue magazine, which is a big freaking deal in the fashion world — heck, in any world. To be on the cover of the September issue is basically the highest honor for anyone, whether they’re an actress, singer, or a model like Kendall. But when we tore through the profile, we were struck at just how normal Kendall seems. You know, despite the fact that she’s one of the most-followed people on Instagram, BFFs with Gigi Hadid, an integral part of the Kardashian-Jenner family and reportedly dating A$AP Rocky on top of all that. Kendall Jenner isn’t just like us, but she does seem like someone we’d wanna hang out with. Here are 20 reasons why.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY1/20Her idea of an interview outfit is totally chill: black jeans, a tank top, and white sneakers.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY2/20She can drive a stick shift, just like any down-home girl. Her dad taught her when she was 16 in her Porsche. (Same.)
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY3/20She wears a hair tie around her wrist. You’d think a supermodel would store them in a slightly more chic way. (No judgment here.)
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY4/20She’s terrible at mini-golf. (Again, same.)
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY5/20Kendall was a young loner; she spent a lot of time alone in her room, playing video games. (Which ones do you think she played?)
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY6/20When it’s time for a snack, Kendall chooses … wait for it … Dippin’ Dots. Remember Dippin’ Dots, the go-to dessert of sporting events in the ‘00s?
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY7/20Kendall was jealous of Kylie as a kid because Kylie had more friends. They both seem to be doing just fine on the friends front today … did you see Kylie’s birthday trip?
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY8/20Kendall was a tomboy as a child, and she grew up riding ATVs and go-carts. This is why she thinks she’s a good driver today.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY9/20In school, Kendall was an athlete; she was a track star, of course, considering she’s got those Jenner genes.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY10/20To chill out, Kendall takes a bath. Her tub is probably a lot more luxurious than ours, but a bubble bath is always a go-to relaxation spot.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY11/20Kendall experiences self-doubt just like everybody else. When she started modeling, she didn’t think anyone would hire her because of her famous fam. She was wrong.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY12/20She may be a supermodel, but she’s still embarrassed by her mother. In the profile Kendall visits Kris’s Calabasas mansion for dinner, only to spend the whole dinner being like, “Mother, you are totally embarrassing me!”
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY13/20Kendall was a “perfect child,” according to Mama Kris — even if she did occasionally sneak out to sleep over at her boyfriend’s house, which is the ultimate teen girl move. She didn’t mind if Kris knew, but she was scared about Caitlyn finding out.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY14/20Kendall’s been single for a while because she’s busy focusing on work. Yeah, us too.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY15/20Even Kendall Jenner can’t resist the allure of a big pasta dinner. Oh, the siren call of carbs…
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY16/20Kendall looks up to her older sisters, saying that “My sisters are so … strong, and they taught me and my little sister to just toughen up and not let it affect us. You know what’s real.”
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY17/20Okay, this isn’t about Kendall, but it sort of is — her mom Kris Jenner serves brownies for dinner, just like your mom! (We wish.)
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY18/20Kendall’s very honest about her glamorous, jet-setting life as a model. It’s not all galas and gowns. “I don’t think that people understand how lonely it can be," she says. "All you’re doing is traveling the world by yourself to do a job and then go back to your hotel by yourself. It’s a different life than you imagined.”
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY19/20She runs out of gas. Yeah, it happens to the best of us, but luckily cell phones exist and you can call a friend to help you refill. Of course, your empty tank doesn’t get covered by the Daily Mail, but still.
GIF: Courtesy of GIPHY20/20Kendall is firmly anti-drama, and she has a sense of humor about her crazy life. She even jokes about the eventual tabloid story. That’s why we love you, Kendall — you keep it real.
