Carrie Underwood: The Ultimate Idol For America
FirstCovers

Let's be honest here: Carrie Underwood is the definition of perfection. She has the looks, the attitude, and the voice of an angel. She is one that your daughters can look up to without worry of a sexualized tabloid or scandal about her. Carrie is the ULTIMATE American Idol (see what I did there?).

1. She is the most well known Idol winner

I know what you're thinking, "what about Kelly Clarkson?!" Although Clarkson was the first American Idol winner in history, Underwood outshines her, especially in Underwood's most recent "Storyteller" tour. In awards alone, Carrie has landed over 142 awards, including more than 6 Grammy awards. Underwood has also earned more than 50 million dollars more than Clarkson in the past decade. Even Ryan Seacrest chose Carrie Underwood as the most successful American Idol winner over Kelly Clarkson! If that isn't saying something,

then I'm not sure what is.

2. She is a role model for the whole family

Carrie knows how to keep it classy. She rocks every single one of her outfits without any distasteful showings. She doesn't need to "throw that ass in a circle" at her concerts to get the crowds going. She can make fans get up and dance to songs without a single cuss word or derogatory comment. Similar with her interviews, she is poised and keeps her family-friendly reputation well-maintained. Carrie also isn't just a superstar, she's also a mother and loving wife. She incorporates her values into all of her music, especially highlighting on her family and faith.

3. Her music isn't all "f**k b*****s, get money"

We all know the type of music I'm talking about here. Music is starting to lose it's intended purpose of telling stories, sending messages, and connecting emotionally to listeners with today's pop and rap music. Carrie Underwood has effortlessly brought the indended purpose back. Carrie's music tells of heart break, love, lust, family, growing up, faith, revenge, and more. In fact, her 2016 tour is even called "Storyteller" because of her love to tell stories through music and finds importance in it. It's so hard to find artists who make music with meaning anymore. There are few things in life that are more powerful than music that can really connect with people, especially when they are going through either really great or really terrible situations. Tugging at the heart strings through music is just too rare in this day and age to not get recognition.

4. She is physically perfect and you can't deny it

I mean, just LOOK. She is literally all of the goals.

Carrie Underwood is a confident leader, not only in the country music industry, but in all aspects of life. While most other artists mold their personality and music to fit the wants of their fans, she isn't afraid to sing from the heart and about what she believes in. She is a woman for your daughters to grow up and strive to be like.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
