11 People I’d Rather Have Running For President

These celebrities seem like they would do a much better job.

Is it just me or has the presidential campaign lost its mojo? We have all gotten used to Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton isn’t doing too hot, we all just feel bad for Jeb Bush and Donald Trump is just not relevant anymore. This will be my first year to vote for the presidency but I honestly have no clue who I would vote for. So instead of stressing about it, I thought of a list of potential candidates I’d rather see on this presidential campaign. They may not all qualify, but I think it would be more entertaining.

1. Jennifer Lawrence

To state the obvious suggestion first, this would definitely be a sincere dream of mine. I think we'd receive many more allies if J-Law was in charge.

2. Gordon Ramsay

I can’t imagine the amount of wars we’d find ourselves in with his mouth, but at least America would never go hungry again.


3. Bob Goff

First off, we’d be heading into no wars because "Love Does" right? And there is no doubt in my mind that he would move his Oval Office to his present office, Tom Sawyer’s Island in Disneyland.


4. Kevin Durant

I’m thinking records would be broken with Durant as the commander-in-chief. He'd probably be the tallest president ever.

5. Ellen DeGeneres

Our nation would be laughing 24/7 and she’d continue in Michelle Obama’s footsteps in keeping America healthy with all of the spontaneous dancing.


6. Chris Harrison

The only reason I’d like him to be president would be for his speeches. I would like him to walk in with dramatic music then tell the nation, “Congress, this is the last bill of the night,” then walk out.


7. John Krasinski

I picked him for a reason similar to Chris Harrison’s. I would fall head over heels if he was at an event with cameras filming him and something happens and he does the “Jim face” into the camera. That would be epic!

8. Justin Bieber

Sure, the Biebs would probably rub a world leader the wrong way during his presidency, but he’d have the best response… “Is it too late now to say sorry?”


9. Beyoncé

"Who run the world? GIRLS!"

10. Jimmy Kimmel

Guillermo would obviously be his vice president, but we’d also be entertained every night with ridiculous bits, and his speeches would be funny monologues.


11. Jimmy Fallon

#FallonTimberlake2016. There’s enough said in that one hashtag, but honestly how cool would it be if Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake ran this nation? I think his term would go down in history as the time when America was truly great.

I have to admit, this list is pretty random but I believe it would potentially raise more controversy than Donald Trump’s campaign. But in all seriousness, I personally realize how little I know about this year’s candidates and have decided to invest more time into learning what each candidate has to offer. As Americans, it is our duty to pick the best candidate who can serve our country.

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.

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.
