With the election coming up, it seems like the debates and controversies over our two presidential candidates never cease. Republicans and Democrats can't find a middle ground. Social media blows up with the latest news that this candidate said this or did that. People go into an uproar simply because of a tweet or type up long rants about what's still wrong with this election.

But during times like these, as the news on the television serves as white noise in typical, middle-class homes, there is one person in your household who always seems to know what's best. Who can conjure up the perfect solution to what's really going on in this nation, despite his non-existent past with politics.

...your dad.

What if your dad ran for president this coming election?

1. He’d Win The Presidential Election With One Round of Arm Wrestling

Hands down, he's ridiculously competitive.

2. D.A.D.D. Would Be A National Movement

Just one of the ways to lower the crime rates.

3. He Would Make Complaining A Criminal Offense

While Dad is president, time-outs would appear on your record.

4. His Cabinet Would Be Full Of His Wife’s Baked Goods

And I suppose he would share them with the other 16 guys who showed up in his cabinet, too.

5. His V.P. Would Be In Charge Of Recording The Sports Games On TV That He Misses While Working On Political Things

The president always knows how to utilize all his resources and problem solve.

6. He Would Never Allow Anyone Else To Mow The White House Lawn Besides Himself

Even though he's president, he's still a stickler about how the lawn looks.

7. His Speeches Would Open Up With A Dad Joke

"Dad, I'm bored."

"Hi, Bored, I'm President Dad, and I'll give you a job to do."

8. He Would Be Late To His Speeches Because He Took Too Long In The Bathroom

That's where all his most effective and revolutionary ideas come from.

9. He Would Need His Cheap Little Reading Glasses To See The Teleprompter

Which he can never seem to find. (p.s. Dad, they're on top of your head)

10. He Would Never Wear Suits—Only Polos, Light-Wash Dad Jeans, And Tennies With Tube Socks

Comfort is key to being successful.

11. There Would Be A National Grilling Competition Day

Of course, it wouldn't be a high-"steaks" competition.

12. His Favorite Recliner Would Be Behind The Desk In The Oval Office

Again, comfort is key to success.

13. When Asked Tough Questions, He Would Turn To His Wife Instead Of Answering Them Himself

She's always right, right?

14. He Would Try To Fix The National Debt With Duct Tape

In Dad's eyes, duct tape is a life saver.

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.
