Ellen DeGeneres is known as a hero by many. Her gut-splitting humor combined with her sincere love for others gets her about 3.9 million views per episode. Not only does she make dreams come true, she also gives priceless gifts to deserving people. For example, she has reunited many soldiers and their wives. She has a heart bigger than any other. So much so, that she became the world's designated "Ellen". There's no need for last names here. Just say "Ellen" and everybody knows which one you're talking about.

I first saw Ellen when I was about 13 years old. I turned on the TV and her show was the first to come up. "Why not?" I thought to myself. I had heard of her show before, but had never tried watching it. Little did I know I was walking into a trap.

Her videos are addicting. Honestly, they really are. I find myself on YouTube for hours at a time watching her clips. Crying one second, laughing the next, and gasping in shock after that. She has made young kids's dreams come true, donated money to those in extreme need, and even given cars to hardworking people who need to get to work efficiently. Talk about a dream job. The amount of satisfaction she gets from all of that giving probably makes her feel on top of the world at all times. Not to mention the amount of fun she has. She treats her staff members like her best friends, and spends her free time on set dancing with them, scaring them, and just being Ellen. If only there were more of her in this world.

One of Ellen's many talents is sharing her opinion on touchy topics without hurting anyone's feelings. Everyone is sensitive about something, and most controversial topics have been brought up on the Ellen show. Although she may have totally opposite opinions from some of her viewers, she gets her point across in a way that only makes it possible to respect her even more.

Back in 2012, Ellen DeGeneres spoke on her show about Bic's newest creation: Bic for Her, pink and purple pens "designed especially for women." According to the pen's product description on Amazon, it is "a sleek pen silhouette" and its "jeweled accents add style". She fired shots at the company for their sexist invention, but in the classiest way possible.

She started off with a joke about the "relief" women should have when they find out there is finally a writing utensil for them.

Then she got even further into her sarcasm.

But, there are some catches to this exciting new product.

Ellen, thank you for saying exactly what all women want to say. You are the queen.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
