World-renowned television host, bestselling author, comedian, humanitarian, and Covergirl, Ellen Degeneres does it all. Through her highly popular TV show, she is able to inspire millions to give, to dance, and to be kind.

Even when we are hurt, sad, or in distress, this ray of light is able to find a way to show us the good that is still out there in the world by helping school teachers, bringing talented and adorable kids on her show, and making us laugh by torturing poor Average Andy. Ellen makes it her life goal to help anyone and anything in need, and here are just a few reason we should all be a little more like Ellen.

1. She pulls the best pranks on people.

She is a genius when it comes to pranking people. Especially Matt Lauer.

2. She really knows how to scare the bejesus out of her guests.

It happens all the time, yet her stealth skills keep her guests from knowing when it's coming.

3. Her fashion game is on point.

Why attempt to copy Kate Middleton's style when Ellen's is all you really need?

4. She is a true humanitarian at heart.

One of the best things about Ellen is how much she cares and gives to anyone in need. Teachers, charities, animals, you name it. She has the power to help those who really need it and she recognizes that and takes full advantage of her privilege to assist those who need and deserve help.

5. Speaking of teachers, she really likes them.

Here's something shocking, teachers often go above and beyond for their students and are grossly underpaid for their services. But you know who always knew that? Ellen Degeneres. She knows how important teachers are and how much of an impact they have on our youth today. So why not show more appreciation. Obviously, it would be a little difficult to have students raise thousands of dollars for their teacher, but a simple act of kindness is all it really takes.

6. She knows how to have a good time.

This picture says it all.

7. Halloween? She WINS at that holiday.

Her costumes are always creative and always head turning. Plus putting Andy through a haunted house every year makes everyone's day.

8. She is probably the best dancer of any generation.

Sorry Beyoncé, but I would rather have a dance lesson from Ellen over you any day. I'll be waiting for my confirmation call!

9. She is wiser than many of us will ever be, and knows what is truly valuable in this world.

She is constantly advocating for kindness, honesty, and treating others the way you would want them to treat you. And those values are slowly fading away from our society. If we don't practice what we preach, then we will never grow as a society and qualities such as compassion and kindness will slowly fade away. But Ellen is here to make sure that doesn't happen.

10. Ellen doesn't give a f*** about people that try to bring her down

Ellen is a sweet, funny, generous, and giving person. She doesn't have time to be bothered by those who try to bring her down! She's too busy donating her time and money to those in need.

11. She always reminds people of the most important thing...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
