This election has been ridiculous by all accounts, and it has been more tense than any election I have been alive to experience. Instead of all of the hype with the election being on the 8th, let's take a look back through some of the funniest headlines I have ever seen.

None of these are from the Onion or any other satirical websites. Check for the link to each article below.

Now we all know that the internet thinks Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, but what about an alien? Who else would by 100 cans of soup except a being that hasn't grasped our way of life? Apparently, Ted Cruz did.

Nope. Guess he's the Zodiac Killer. Thanks, Florida.

I'm not sure how Hitler got brought into line with Jeb Bush, but here we go. Doctor Who already shows us how this works out, Jeb. Let's leave this one alone.

Can we please leave Pepe out of this? He didn't do anything to you. Though Hillary's website says differently.

Google, this is not policy. The fact that Deez Nuts ran for president at all is the best thing about this election cycle.

On a more positive note, Hillary might be looking for a girlfriend, ladies! Better take a look.


Come on then, Hulk Hogan. We've seen weird this election season. You would be better than Mike Pence.


And here I thought we were bigger than these sort of jokes.

Now I'm a Bernie supporter myself, but this is a bit much. At least they both looked sharp for the big night.

If you were interested in keeping Bernie with you all the time though, I think this is a far better option. Might be a little awkward to explain to your significant other..


I hope you're doing alright, Pope Francis. Don't let him scare you too much!

I'm lucky to remember my own parents' birthdays. Oops..

To save the day, a giant meteor! They had to clarify that this was not the Onion because almost 25% of us millennials would prefer a meteor strike to either of our big choices.

This one isn't quite from the election, but I couldn't resist. I hope I don't have toupee the price.


We all need ponies, after all. And time travel research, zombie preparedness, and mandatory tooth brushing laws. That's his platform anyways. #VerminSupreme2016


Now I know this is only fifteen headlines, but there's so many more. The Week has a list of 95 headlines they've published about Donald Trump in the last year alone that will give everyone a giggle.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
