10 Times Ellen DeGeneres Cracked Herself Up
Rachel McGrath

Anyone who has watched her show knows that Ellen DeGeneres is unparalleled in humor, generosity and overall positivity. It is no surprise that she is so popular because she makes people feel good about themselves for 60 straight minutes. She makes millions of people laugh every day--from her pranks on celebrities to her quick-witted jokes, it’s impossible not to smile when watching her. Here are some of the (many) times she couldn’t handle her own jokes and laughed hysterically until tears started streaming down her face.

1. Ellen tries to put gloves on in 20 seconds, but things don't go quite according to plan.

2. A young magician has Ellen laughing so hard that she tears up with his "dumbfounding" magic tricks.

3. Ellen tries to keep it together as she gives tips for Thanksgiving table seating.

4. During her 12 Days of Giveaways, one of Ellen's elves had a bit of trouble rolling out a TV.

5. When Ellen had Sofia Vergara on her show, they decided they would give Sofia a makeover...let's just say things took a turn for the hilarious.

6. Ellen decided to surprise Powerball ticket holders with a chance to win a trip to one of her 12 Days of Giveaways.

7. When Ellen sends an audience member undercover as a Starbucks drive-thru employee, one customer's responses in particular have Ellen cracking up.

8. Ellen decides that it's time for Andy Zenor, one of her producers, to get a flu shot on her show.

9. A Starbucks employee agreed to wear an earpiece and repeat everything Ellen said...well, everything she thought Ellen said.

10. Ellen's game 'Know or Go' proves that people will come up with the funniest wrong answers when facing their fear of heights.

In the words of Ellen, be kind to one another!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
