The 2016 Presidential election... I have no words. Well, that's not entirely true. I have a lot of words, they're just not appropriate. Though Democrats and Republicans hardly ever agree on anything, I think we can both agree on one thing: Out of the hundreds of thousands of people in each party, we came up with these two idiots to be the face of it? Frankly, I don't care about your political views as I know you don't care about mine, so let's not discuss that. At this point we have already come to the conclusion that both the candidates of the parties, that one is going to inevitably win (sorry Gary Johnson), are whiny, inconsiderate, outspoken, no-filter jerks. Neither of them deserve to run the country but somehow we ended up here. To make myself feel better about the next four years of my life, I have decided to make a list of 50 people who would make a much better president than Donald "I-Don't-Know-How-To-Keep-My-Mouth-Shut" Trump and Hillary "*deletes-all-my-emails*" Clinton.


1. Ellen DeGeneres

This would undeniably be the best four years of everyone's lives. Well scratch that, eight years of everyone's lives because you know Mama Ellen would win reelection. She's funny, but also knows how to be serious. She knows how to give a speech, could you imagine her State of the Union addresses? If any country gets mad at us, she'll just tell them a joke and invite them to a dance party and life would be okay again. Unfortunately, many people have asked Ellen to run and she said she would much rather be a talk show host than a president.


2. Michael Scott

I feel as though this selection needs no explanation... just yes.


3. Jimmy Fallon

So much yes I can't even. Imagine how happy our country would be for 4 - 8 years? He would bring some happiness to some pretty dark areas in our politics, plus Jimmy is just a pretty genuine guy - which is pretty unlikely in the political world. Non-negotiable VP choice: Justin Timberlake.


4. Jon Stewart

He knows his stuff when it comes to politics. After years of making fun of politicians, let him get behind the desk of the oval office and give the people really what they want.


5. Bernie Sanders

HE WAS JUST A NICE OLD MAN WHO WANTED TO HELP US GET OUT OF POVERTY AND GET INTO COLLEGE. I KNOW FREE COLLEGE WAS A STRETCH BUT HE AT LEAST COULD HAVE MADE IT MORE AFFORDABLE AND Y'ALL RUINED THAT FOR US CAUSE HE'LL PROBABLY NEVER RUN AGAIN. I'M STILL REALLY BITTER. WAY TO GO, AMERICA; YOU LET THE GOOD ONE SLIP AWAY AND LET THE IDIOTS STAY.


6. Beyoncé

Forget Kanye West wanting to be the president, make it Beyoncé instead. Also, she turned 35 this year... I'm just putting that out there.


7. Michelle Obama

She's well educated, she's got a great motivation for helping society, she's got her husband who has experience if she ever needs advice, and she already had established relationships with leaders of other countries. She'd be perfect.


8. Tim Kaine

Clinton's Vice President choice would actually make a much better President. He is known in the senate for being skilled at bringing people from different parties together. Imagine if he could do that for everyone, nationwide.


9. No One.

Maybe America just needs to be single for a couple years and find ourselves.


10. Morgan Freeman

Everyone would listen and hang onto every single word this man said. He makes a great VP in the Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen movies, let's make him be in the oval office in real life.


11. Kevin O'Leary

Just change his nickname from Mr. Wonderful to Mr. President. He's a successful businessman and if anyone every crosses him he'll just say "you're dead to me. I'm out" and that'll be that.


12. Taylor Swift

Say what you want about all her break ups, but her love life is completely irrelevant to her presidency. She genuinely cares for people, helps out people in need, and is overall a good person - the kind of person who needs to be sitting in the oval office.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
