Deez Nuts For President?

Because anyone can be the President, right?

Deez Nuts For President?

The current presidential election has been a recent topic for debate, and with no surprise there has been controversy over each candidate. Hillary Clinton? She's a woman, won't have it. Donald Trump? Naaah, he won't do either. What about Deez Nuts? Sure, why not!

Turns out, Deez Nuts is actually a 15-year-old boy named Brady Olsen.

Despite being 15, Nuts (Olsen) has some pretty interesting views. After viewing his website, which definitely looks like the work of a 15-year-old, I was impressed with how diverse his views were. For someone who isn't even old enough to register to vote, he sure is keeping up with politics and current issues.

Foreign Policy
"I support the work that John Kerry and the State Department did with the Iran nuclear deal, considering it took nearly two years to reach this point. Everyone wants a better deal, but that's the whole point of negotiating. Look at your wants, then their wants, and meet in the middle. Now is the time being respected instead of feared by other nations. I also feel that we need to stop being a world watchdog and limit our positions in international conflicts."
Abortion and Same-Sex Marriage
"I feel that as equal human beings that we should be allowed to choose how to live our lives without being discriminated by one another. At the same time however, I also understand that people believe that Christian religion outweighs government policy. But America is no longer mainly a Christian nation. It is Christian, Jewish, Islam, and many others."

While he might have some interesting points, why is he gaining so much support?There are serious candidates we should be thinking about, but instead we are looking into the platform of a 15-year-old boy going by the name of Deez Nuts?

Are we really going to let a high-school kid be the President of The United States?

What's scary is that some people are actually in support of this. According to CBS, Nuts has earned 7 percent support in Minnesota, 8 percent in Iowa, and 9 percent in North Carolina.

Every election hundreds of people you never hear about file a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, but the popularity of Deez Nuts has spread on the media.

Just because the media turns someone into a popular presidential candidate, does not mean that they are a candidate who should be considered.

Maybe in a few years, Olsen would make a great presidential candidate, but as for now, we should be focusing on finding the person most qualified to be the next President.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
