We weren’t expect this one… 

Kendall Jenner was revealed as the face of Estée Lauder in November and it seems that there is no stopping this 19-year-old as she has just been announced as one-of-six new feature columnists at WSJ Magazine.

Joining Goldie Hawn, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Frederic Brandt, US footballer Tim Howard, psychologist Jeffrey Jensen Arnett and illustrator Maira Kalman, WSJ will ask the ‘six luminaries’ to weigh in on a single topic each month.

“I feel like I grew up too fast a long time ago”, Jenner’s bio reads.

“Having older siblings, you grow up around adults, so you mature more quickly. I saw my sisters and parents working every day, so I was pretty much brought up to be a workaholic. But I just turned 19 a couple weeks ago, and I’m scared to be 20—it’s the first step out of being a teenager.

“My sister Khloé always says to me and my younger sister, Kylie: You have your whole life to be an adult but only so long to be a kid. And we get it.

“In the right situations, I try to be as immature as I can sometimes—react to things as if I were 12. You can’t take things too seriously. I just laugh thinking about my dad being a teenager, partying. It’s the funniest thing. And it makes me think—what am I going to be like when I’m 65?”
