10 Reasons We Should Elect Emma Watson As Queen Of The Universe
Buzzfeed

Every once in a while, Emma Watson does something fabulous that puts her back in the spotlight. Originally known for her role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" film franchise, Watson has gone on to star in several other movies, as well as become widely recognized for her humanitarian efforts. Pretty much everything she does is magical. She genuinely cares about the betterment of humanity, and has a warm personality. The following list includes reasons why I truly believe we should elect her as Queen of the Universe. It's in everyone's best interest.

1. Her involvement in the HeforShe Campaign.


In 2014, Watson was announced as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, and then gave an address to the UN on behalf of the HeforShe Campaign. HeforShe is an initiative by the UN to promote gender equality worldwide. They encourage the idea of male feminists, stating that feminism is here for men, too.

2. She started an international book club.

Earlier this year, Watson started a book club on Goodreads named Our Shared Shelf. The group has over 120,000 members from all over the world. They read books authored by other feminists, including "How to Be a Woman" by Caitlin Morgan and "The Argonauts" by Maggie Nelson. Anyone is welcome to join and participate in group discussions, as well as make suggestions for future reads.

3. She pretty much is Hermione Granger.

Intelligent, compassionate and a fighter for what is right. If she is good enough for J.K. Rowling, she's good enough for me.

4. Graduated from Brown University.

She earned her bachelor's in English Literature. One year of her degree was spent studying abroad at Oxford University. Watson did take a year off to promote a "Harry Potter" film, but she went right back into her studies after. The community at Brown University allowed her to have a "normal" college experience and didn't treat her like a visiting celebrity.

5. She wore "sustainable fashion" to the Met Gala this year.

Watson's dress was made of all recycled materials, primarily water bottles. She told CNN that the conservation of the planet is certainly a feminist issue, and she believes that fashion can play a key role in that preservation.

6. She was listed in Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2015.

Watson was listed among people such as Angela Merkel, Bob Corker, Taylor Swift and Pope Francis.

7. She's selfless.

A few years ago, Watson asked fans to donate money to UNICEF instead of sending her presents for her birthday or Christmas. She said she wanted other children to be able to experience the joy of Christmas instead.

8. She has done work with Camfed International.

Camfed's goal is to get rid of poverty in Africa through the education of young women. Watson has traveled to Zambia to experience firsthand what Camfed is accomplishing.

9. She is wise.

10. Besides, just think how lovely she'll look on our postage stamp.

It's a "Princess Diaries 2" reference...but seriously. Look at her.

All hail Emma Watson, Queen of the Universe. It is well deserved.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
