As the election winds down to its inevitable end, we are left wondering who is worthy of the presidency. Now, remember, the POTUS is basically one of the most powerful men or women in the world. So, why vote for the lesser of two evils when you can vote for a non-evil? Hell, I'm practically a non-entity at this point. So here are 7 reasons why you should vote for me.

1. Controversy

The most controversial thing I've ever done was cursing in front of my mother.

2. Neutrality

I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, so you know that at the end of the day, I couldn't care less about their agendas. My agenda is making America better for you, the people, and me, the person. And with me as POTUS, I will always put the people first.

3. Freedom

I believe in freedom. *Cue chant of 'Murica.* Freedom is good. We should all have freedom. Am I overusing the word freedom? FREEDOM! Okay, but really, we all deserve equal rights, and as a staunch supporter of (not going to say it again), I believe that we should all have the same rights. As president, I would work towards making it so that everyone has equal rights.

4. Less Taxes

Raising taxes on anyone is stupid. Taxes are stupid. As president, I would cut taxes on people so they have more money to spend. More spending money means more money in rotation. Now what about the rich people? I'd close loopholes so that they would pay their full taxes instead of being able to get out of them. What does raising taxes do if some people get loopholes and others don't?

5. Education

I would improve the American education system. As an education major, I only have a slight insight into the way American education works, but I would talk to experts in the educational field on ways to improve. Also, I would make learning Spanish mandatory from 1st grade on so that Americans can finally be bilingual like our sexier European neighbors across the ocean.

6. Funding

I'd cut military funding and put it towards education. I would also redirect some of the funding towards taking care of our veterans.

7. Adorable

I'm adorable.

8. I'm not Trump

I'm not, I checked.

9. I'm not Clinton

I checked also.

10. I'm a pacifist.

So no WW3.

If you have made it to the end, then congratulations. You read an article that is part satire, part inane thought. One day, I might run for president, but for now, I will simply write a joke article that is not very funny, but gave me something to do while I think of other more serious things to write.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
