See what I did there?

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
