World-renowned television host, bestselling author, comedian, humanitarian, and Covergirl, Ellen Degeneres does it all. Through her highly popular TV show, she is able to inspire millions to give, to dance, and to be kind.

Even when we are hurt, sad, or in distress, this ray of light is able to find a way to show us the good that is still out there in the world by helping school teachers, bringing talented and adorable kids on her show, and making us laugh by torturing poor Average Andy. Ellen makes it her life goal to help anyone and anything in need, and here are just a few reason we should all be a little more like Ellen.

1. She pulls the best pranks on people.

She is a genius when it comes to pranking people. Especially Matt Lauer.

2. She really knows how to scare the bejesus out of her guests.

It happens all the time, yet her stealth skills keep her guests from knowing when it's coming.

3. Her fashion game is on point.

Why attempt to copy Kate Middleton's style when Ellen's is all you really need?

4. She is a true humanitarian at heart.

One of the best things about Ellen is how much she cares and gives to anyone in need. Teachers, charities, animals, you name it. She has the power to help those who really need it and she recognizes that and takes full advantage of her privilege to assist those who need and deserve help.

5. Speaking of teachers, she really likes them.

Here's something shocking, teachers often go above and beyond for their students and are grossly underpaid for their services. But you know who always knew that? Ellen Degeneres. She knows how important teachers are and how much of an impact they have on our youth today. So why not show more appreciation. Obviously, it would be a little difficult to have students raise thousands of dollars for their teacher, but a simple act of kindness is all it really takes.

6. She knows how to have a good time.

This picture says it all.

7. Halloween? She WINS at that holiday.

Her costumes are always creative and always head turning. Plus putting Andy through a haunted house every year makes everyone's day.

8. She is probably the best dancer of any generation.

Sorry Beyoncé, but I would rather have a dance lesson from Ellen over you any day. I'll be waiting for my confirmation call!

9. She is wiser than many of us will ever be, and knows what is truly valuable in this world.

She is constantly advocating for kindness, honesty, and treating others the way you would want them to treat you. And those values are slowly fading away from our society. If we don't practice what we preach, then we will never grow as a society and qualities such as compassion and kindness will slowly fade away. But Ellen is here to make sure that doesn't happen.

10. Ellen doesn't give a f*** about people that try to bring her down

Ellen is a sweet, funny, generous, and giving person. She doesn't have time to be bothered by those who try to bring her down! She's too busy donating her time and money to those in need.

11. She always reminds people of the most important thing...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
