My Personal 3rd Party Ballot: TV Edition

This year's presidential election, to say the very least, is truly unlike any other. Tensions are high here in the good ole U.S. of A as voters begin to cast their ballots and the end of the race gets closer and closer. While we have pretty much reached the point of no return in this situation, sometimes it's still fun to imagine "what could have been" when it comes to our next #POTUS. At this point, in my opinion, they might as well open the candidacy to pretty much anyone. Running for the presidency is no joke, and our two most popular candidates definitely deserve some props for making it this far. However, I can't help but think about those out there who I feel could give Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton a run for their money (no pun intended). These are just a few to name, and the more I think about it, the more I strive to somehow make it "real life."


1. Mr. Moseby ("The Suite Life of Zack and Cody")

I understand that this might seem like a bad idea, but hear me out. Mr. Moseby is a man who's got his mind made up. He holds a steady authority that might come on a little strong at first, but I think if you really get to know him you could really see where he's coming from. He teaches valuable lessons! There's no way you could ever watch Season 1 Episode 10 and forget how to put your car in "drive." Long live the PRNDL!!!

2. Leslie Knope ("Parks and Recreation")

This one is a personal favorite of mine. Leslie clearly has her priorities in order and therefore would obviously be a dedicated voice for the people. Not to mention she's got the government experience under her belt along with a deep appreciation for waffles. Honestly what more could you ask for in a President?

3. Dwight Schrute ("The Office")

Okay #TBH I'm pretty much just going to leave it at this photo. If that isn't enough to convince you, then I don't know what will.

4. Raven Baxter ("That's So Raven")


Listen, Raven tells it like it is. Sometimes, most times actually, that's what the American people really need out of a President. It's important to have those people in your life who don't sugar coat anything. And we can't forget the obviously important thing here: Hello??? She's PSYCHIC. How could you not vote for that kind of power in the Oval Office?

5. Danny Tanner ("Full House")

I feel like this one just really speaks to me. Although Mr. Tanner might not be the most aggressive guy out there, he sure knows how to keep a clean slate (both literally and figuratively). He's a hugger. He's the kind of guy to make his bed every morning, which just in itself shows that he's got most of life figured out for himself. That kind of responsibility is a rare gem to find.

6. Fran Fine ("The Nanny")

All hail the queen that is Nick at Nite. If you grew up watching this show and didn't end every episode begging your mom to find a nanny like Fran, you have been doing life wrong this whole time. Fran is outspoken, sassy, and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. She's straight up. She just KNOWS. I mean look at how she lives her life and eats her pizza. Inspiring is an understatement -- who wouldn't kill to see that face on a dollar bill someday?

So back to reality we go. It's been real, it's been fun. Perhaps one day we will live in a world where we can create our own personal governments based on our favorite celebrities. A girl can dream, right? When that day comes I clearly will have some difficult decisions to make. But until then we must move on, take what we've got for now and make our voices heard.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
