13 "Candidates" Better Than Trump

The GOP should reconsider their nominee.

13 "Candidates" Better Than Trump

"You're hired." Words that Donald Trump has likely never said before and should not hear after election season ends for our country. It seems the GOP is looking for nearly anyone to fill their nomination. Going into this election, I think it's good to keep an open mind. That being said, consider these names as you fill out the write-in section of your ballot next November.


1. Little Honey Boo Boo.

She may be young and unintelligent, but that's what people said about Queen Elizabeth when she took the reins in England. Let's have some faith in her.


2. Sofia Vergara.

No one really understands politics, no one really understands Sofia Vergara. Coincidence? Plus, she's a lot easier on the eyes than Mr. Trump.


3. Ted.

He may be offensive, but at least he can calm down Mark Wahlberg. Any chief executive with that power is truly rare.


4. Ellen Degeneres.

She can already rock a good looking suit. Why not?


5. OJ Simpson.

If a man can get away with murder, just imagine what he could get away with sitting in the Oval Office. Plus, everyone loves a man who can play football.


6. Jared the Subway Guy.

This man is an inspiration. He lost hundreds of pounds after years of ridicule. In light of recent accusations against him, it seems there's one thing he won't be able to lose: a guilty conscience. He would try with all his might not to mess up while in office.


7. Serena Williams.

I wouldn't want to mess with a woman who can swing a racket like she does. I seriously doubt any other country would, either.


8. Dr. Phil.

Considered one of the greatest mediators in the modern age, Dr. Phil resolves any conflict with his soothing voice. He could end foreign wars with one phone call. Let's hope Kim Jong Un is on the White House speed-dial.


9. Peyton Manning.

The epitome of a great man is a firm jawline. Peyton has Donald beat in this category.


10. Mayor West.

He has years of political experience under his belt, something that Trump does not have. Plus, his haircut is a bit more up to date than Donald's.


11. JK Rowling.

Isn't politics all smoke and mirrors? That's right up her alley with all her Harry Potter books. She wouldn't be fooled in office.


12. Tiger Woods.

He already loves the color red, the color of the Republican Party. He wouldn't have to change his wardrobe.


13. Steve Carell.

Steve has shown that he can effectively run an office of a very diverse population. Isn't that basically what America is? Let's give him a promotion.


Don't forget to vote when November 2016 rolls around; it's your right as a U.S. citizen. Thank you for considering these potential candidates as I have. Let's make America great again!

Oops -- it's kinda catchy, though.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
