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 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.
