14 Things That Would Happen If A Typical Dad Ran For President

He'd really be the man of the house. The White House, that is.

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
