5 People That Should Be The Next President

As this year’s presidential race continues to heat up, many voters find themselves torn between the candidates or do not favor either one. No matter the outcome in November, America won’t be satisfied unless any of the following people are the next POTUS.

1. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

Rather than one being the president and the other being a vice president, Tina and Amy should co-run our country. They are best friends, a true dream team, and have already proven themselves as politicians (Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, that is). Put this funny duo on the ballot.

2. Beyonce

Who run the world? Queen Bey. With a powerful presence and the stardom to affect social change, Beyonce could turn America into it’s best self. Not to mention the fact that we’d love to see her, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy totally owning the White House.

3. Jimmy Fallon

The "Tonight Show" host would be a great Commander-in-Chief. Just picture it: his State of the Union addresses would be filled with light-hearted jokes, presidential debates would be held in the form of lip sync battles, and it’s obvious that Justin Timberlake would be his running mate. Hail to this chief.

4. Ryan Gosling

Alright, so maybe this couldn’t happen since Gosling is Canadian. But should we amend the law which states you must have been born in the U.S. to run for President, Ryan Gosling would be our first pick for the job. With his incredibly good looks and swagger, he would gain plenty of followers that have fallen victim to his infectious charm.

5. Oprah

Because she's Oprah. Why not?

Dishonorable Mention: Kanye West

We all know Kanye West probably wouldn’t be the best man for the job. But since declaring that he plans to run for office in 2020, he lands on this list. Can America even imagine a world where Kim Kardashian is their First Lady?

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
