"For me, it's that I contributed... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's, to me, the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life."

- Ellen Degeneres

We all know who she is, and we all have wanted to be sitting in that comfy, white chair adjacent to her while she makes us laugh our pants off. Ellen Degeneres is the silliest, coolest woman I have never met. She highlights the special things going in our world, and the love for her wife Portia inspires us all. How could you not love a soul as happy as hers? If you need a new best friend here are a few reasons why Ellen should be your top choice:

1. She's never not dancing.

Even when Matthew McConaughey is trying to do a serious car commercial, she's jammin' out in the back seat. (I'm right there in the car. You just can't see me cause I'm in the trunk trying to be best friends with her.)


2. She likes to play practical jokes.

Just because she asks you to be on her show doesn't mean you have don't have to pay a price. Watch your back. When I become friends with Ellen, I know we'll be on the practical joke level because how could we not?


3. She has tons of celebrity friends.

You know that one hot guy from that one movie? Yeah, she has him on speed dial. No worries.


4. She stands up for what she believes in.

She not team Edward; she's on a completely different team. Ellen didn't get to just come out to her friends and family. She had to tell the whole world she was gay, and that takes an amazing amount of courage. Keep kicking butt, Ellen!

5. She's Dory.

She plays the cutest animated fish of all time. Dory won the hearts of so many-- including mine.


6. She rocks the pants suit look.

Ellen has the best pants suits anyone has ever seen. Her style will have you walking into work with the swag that Justin Bieber wishes he had.

7. She's always herself no matter what.

Ellen has never been afraid of being awkward, blunt, or just plain hysterical. You always need a friend who encourages you to do the same.

8. She's one of the kindest people you'd ever meet.

Ellen has made kids' dreams come true. She has donated to hundreds of charities, and she has given $10,000 dollars to a woman who picked up a soldier's tab at a restaurant. This woman has done so many random acts of kindness to make this world a better place. Unlike some, she uses her money for the good of the people who love her, and not just only for the fame. I hope you love her just as much as I do!

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?

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?

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.
