This one is for all the ladies out there … four women are running for President of the United States in 2020. FOUR WOMEN. FOUR DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL WOMEN.

Beyonce was right. Girls run the world and they're running this presidential race AND HOPEFULLY The United States of America!

This is insane! We could go from the annoying orange in the White House to a solid woman running the show and accomplishing things this nation needs.

These four women are running for The Democratic Party and so far the top candidate is Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris is the Attorney General of California. Harris is "For The People" as her campaign states. She is not taking donations from any corporations.

"Kamala Harris has spent her entire life defending our American values. From fighting to fix our broken criminal justice system to take on the Wall Street Banks for middle-class homeowners, Kamala has always worked For The People."

"As U.S. Senator, Kamala introduced or co-sponsored legislation to provide sweeping tax cuts for the middle class, address the high cost of rent, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, make higher education tuition-free for the vast majority of Americans, reform the cash bail system, protect the legal rights of refugees and immigrants, and expand access to affordable, quality health care with Medicare for All."

She has received the most media attention since announcing her candidacy, getting as much and possibly more than Elizabeth Warren. Refer back to my previous article about Elizabeth Warren who was the first female candidate announced for 2020.

Alongside Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand and Tulsi Gabbard are running for president.

Tulsi Gabbard is a congresswoman in Hawaii. She advocates for environmental policy and is the youngest person ever elected in the state of Hawaii. She also served two tours in the Middle East! She is serving her fourth term in Congress and continues to advocate for veterans, work on a sustainable economy, affordable health care, and give quality education. This is an excellent candidate for President.

Kirsten Gillibrand is United States Senator for New York. She prioritizes rebuilding the economy. She wants manufacturing in the United States which will give more jobs to the American people and fix the economy. She led the effort for the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" which was a policy banning gays from serving openly in the military and she wrote the Stock Act which made it illegal for members of Congress to benefit financially from inside information. She also fought for the compensation of 9/11 first responders with their health care and survivors who were sick with diseases from toxins at Ground Zero.

These women are all running for being the next leader of this crumbling nation and I'm so here for it. Can you believe that SO FAR four women are running? What if more step forward? As a woman, this is huge and so inspiring. I hope to see this nation led by someone extraordinary and if it just so happens to be one of these fine women, I would not be mad about that at all.

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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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!
