8 People TIME Could Have Picked To Be Person Of The Year Instead of Trump

Yeah, sure, he's the President-Elect or whatever, but how could TIME Magazine attempt to draw in readers with someone who didn't even win the popular vote? Besides make Americans Brexit themselves, Donald Trump has done nothing truly presidential, and there are a number of people who are more qualified to be recognized as TIME's person of the year for their notable accomplishments.

1. President Barack Obama


If for no other reason than transitioning with grace and throughout the process hand-holding the very man who wants to demolish his legacy.

2. Lin-Manuel Miranda

This one goes without explanation, I mean have you heard the Hamilton Mixtape?!

3. That Uber Driver That Lets You Use the Aux Cord

Not all heroes wear capes.

4. Shirley Caesar


Who is Shirley Caesar you may ask? Only the woman who blessed us with the best Thanksgiving rap of all time. It will live on in our hearts until next turkey day.

5. Lil Sebastian


The legend himself, may he rest in peace. The title has pretty much lost all meaning at this point, so why not extend it to mini-horses?

6. Beyonce

How has this not happened yet?

7. Any Restaurant Employee Ever That Has Had to Deal with a Secret Menu Hack

Your double-shot, extra whip, frappuccino with a pump of cinnamon dolce syrup and the tears of your barista is holding up the line.

8. Amy Sherman-Palladino

The Gilmore Girls revival was iconic and should be remembered as such.

Fun Fact: the "M" in TIME over Trump's head on the cover almost look like devil horns.

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?

1958
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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
