Our World Would Be Better If Ellen Degeneres Were President

Sit back into that couch or office chair, close your eyes and imagine a world filled with kindness, laugher, dancing, giving and positivity. “It could never happen,” you say but also, you’re wrong. With Ellen DeGeneres as president we’d have all of these magical things and I suspect, even more. (Chevy Malibu’s for anyone who doesn’t have a car! $10,000 from Shutterfly for walking the old lady across the street!)

First and foremost we would encourage not discourage diversity; I’m talking to you, Donald Trump. Ellen is the most including and accepting person ever, coming from someone who hasn’t even met her to know this. I know from watching the way she welcomes anyone who does good in the world with open arms, and isn’t that what should matter? Not the color of our skin, who we love, the way we look, what we believe in, but if we are good? She has that figured out.

People wouldn’t be solely reprimanded for the terrible things they’ve done, but there would be recognition for the good things done, too. This would happen more than just the last three minutes of the 6 o’clock newscast. Ellen recognizes awesome people on her show every day; this would be one of her main points as president as well. We have a lot of cool people in our country and she would absolutely recognize them; maybe even give them a personally crafted gift for doing so.

Random dance breaks would be a thing. I imagine around 2 o’clock a siren goes off countrywide, signaling everyone to break out of their cubicle and bust a move. Twitch would broadcast that Usher song through every radio and TV possible. Basically, we would dance, and we would dance a lot.

All of those boring presidential debates would start with an unforgettable monologue. You know the kind, something seemingly irrelevant but hilarious that ties into a serious issue. Her speeches would be funny too and they would always end with, "Be kind to one another."

Ellen’s celebrity endorsements would be through the roof. With so many famous people willing to vote for her, I don’t think she would even need a campaign. It would be like, “Ellen Degeneres is running for president,” and then she becomes president the next day and our lives change forever.

She would go out of her way to make people feel comfortable in their own skin. Something she already does, even through a TV screen, would be one of her main movements within the country. By being unapologetically herself in front of the entire world, she encourages others to do the same and be confident with it.

The population of our country would triple. With a president so kind, loving and hilarious, people from seemingly perfect places would be flocking to the United States and Ellen would probably hug each and every one of them, ask them their name, where they’re from and what they do for a living.

For more persuading, check out a day with Ellen as president.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
