10 Things That Make More Sense Than The 2016 Presidential Election

Well, almost anything makes more sense than this election.

10 Things That Make More Sense Than The 2016 Presidential Election
News Week

From ridiculous Twitter beef to countless scandals, it's safe to say this presidential election has made little to no sense. While we all may not agree on which candidate deserves to be trusted to run our nation for the next four years, I think we all can agree that we'll be happy when it's all over and done with. Here are 10 things that somehow make more sense than what we've had to deal with this election season.


1. The Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge actually being a phenomenon

But really, what makes sense about putting yourself through pain to have uglier lips?


2. Healthy food costing way more than food that's bad for you

This is an issue that needs addressed more often in America. How can we be expected to eat healthier when the average price of nutritious food is higher than unhealthy food.

3. Silent letters

This needs to be addressed more often. Why would this ever make sense?

4. Portable chin rests

These things do not look comfortable at all?


5. When the dentist tries to hold a full conversation with you when working on your mouth

Dentist: *Puts toothbrush in your mouth*

"How's life? What do you do in your free time? What's your favorite food? Do you have any pets? Do you enjoy small talk as I jam this thing down your damn mouth?"

Me:


6. Pressing harder on the buttons of a remote control when the batteries are dead

This makes complete sense. The power of my own anger should overpower the dead batteries and make the remote work again.

7. Credit cards with chips

Another thing the government tries to track seems sketchy. Personally, cannot take this.

8. Hot dogs being in packages of ten, but hot dog buns being in packages of eight

No, I actually just want to eat the last two dogs without a bun...

9. Jack not laying on the board with Rose when there was clearly enough room

Very idiotic, but also depressing. Maybe Jack intentionally did this...

10. If Donald Trump decided to run for president- oh, wait...

Well... I guess I have no more words for this one.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
