15 Other Options, All Better Than Trump
CNN

Donald Trump started the presidential race as one of the favorites to win. Fast forward now to the month of May, and he is the runaway leader. But this still doesn't sit well with a lot of people in the United States. "I'll move to Canada if Trump wins" or "I'll vote for anybody, as long as it isn't Trump" are two very common responses from people who don't support Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are the two other candidates with the best shot at taking down Trump, but what if you don't like any of these options? You are in the right place then, because you have a list to chose from. Take a look through 15 other options that would be better than Trump as President.


1. Michael Scott

What more can you ask for? Michael G. Scott, businessman and comedian all mixed into one. Scott ran an office full of characters for more than seven seasons. He would bring this country comedy and business ideas, well at least one of these is true.

2. Yoda

Nobody really knows how old he is, but that doesn't even matter when you have the force. He is one of the most liked and idolized characters in a galaxy far far away. Nobody would mess with the United States if Yoda was president. I like to think that Yoda would lead the country with this saying, "Freedom, we must let ring."

3. Morgan Freeman

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SPEECHES?!

Morgan Freeman has one of the most recognized voices in the world, imagine if we could get that man in the oval office. Millions would tune in to listen to his ideas and how he plans to change the United States for the better. Even if his best idea was, "No taxes, free cheeseballs, and everyone gets a horse." Nobody would question the man with the magical voice.

4. Jim Carrey

"All politicians are the same." Well folks, not anymore! If you bring Jim Carrey into the oval office, you bring every character with him. From a pet detective, to Lloyd Christmas, every part of Carrey is unique. There is one thing for certain if Jim Carrey was our next President, there would never be a dull moment.

5. Steph Curry

MVP, NBA Champion, Family-man, jokester, President? Steph Curry seems to be able to do it all on the court, why not give him a shot to run the country? One thing would be a no doubter, we would have the best basketball playing leader in the world. Maybe we will be able to add 45th President of the United States to Curry's resume?

6. Oprah Winfrey

YASSSSSSSS! If Oprah was named our next president, not only would she be the first woman to be President of the United States, she would be the most generous president ever. Known to give away prizes on her talk show, maybe that would carry over to being a president. Who knows, maybe Oprah will become the front-runner... Okay, fine, but it's fun to think about ,right?

7. Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey plays a politician in the show, "House of Cards" so he should be qualified to run the actually United States right? If he acts as well as he runs a country, we would be in great shape. Kevin Spacey vs. Trump? This is a battle I would pay to watch.

8. Leonardo DiCaprio

He's been on the Titanic, worked on Wall Street, and he's won an Oscar. Okay fine, only winning an Oscar is really true. Although he did act as the other two, Leo is one of the smoothest guys in the world, but if he has the same luck with winning a presidential race as he does with winning Oscars he is in trouble. (Sorry Leo, you know it's true.) That could all change though if the people of America really wanted to see him sit in the oval office. What do you say, Leo as the next president?

9. Amy Schumer

"We're tired of the same old politicians." Well people, here you go. Amy Schumer would be a hilarious president and would have no problem holding back what she has to say. Except she probably wouldn't directly offend people, but instead laugh with them.

10. Snoop Dogg

If you want the most relaxed President ever, vote Snoop in. Everyone would love America and their newest leader. We would lose any enemies that we have, and that is a really good thing. Oh yeah, Marijuana would probably become legal in every state in the United States in less than a week, never mind I give it a day.

11. Tom Hanks

This man has been through Vietnam, heartbreak from Jenay (Forest Gump voice), and made it through on a deserted island with a volleyball as his best friend. What other President or Presidential candidate can say that? I'll wait....

12. Kevin Hart

Yes you Kevin. Hilarious and full of energy, two qualities that would benefit our next president. Kevin Hart would, without a doubt, be the shortest presidential candidate. Despite not breaking 5'5", Hart would make up for his lack of height with many funny ideas as president.

13. Bill Nye (The Science Guy)

BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! Bill Nye the Science Guy!

He has graced so many middle school and maybe even high school classrooms to teach science, but what if we let him run the country? I think Bill would do just fine holding this country together, and plus we would at least learn a little bit during his presidency!

14. Ellen Degeneres

Ellen is one of the nicest people in the spotlight and has been true to herself, even with all the fame. She has great people skills and that would translate really well in the oval office and could be the first woman as the President of the United States. Plus, if she was a presidential candidate, she would have plenty of time to work on her handshake with Bernie. (Pictured above)

15. Riley Curry

Yes, this is a stretch. A child as president? Well, when the child has as much sass and personality as Riley Curry, then yes she should be a candidate to run our country. Anyone that gets bored at their dad's (Steph Curry) NBA press conference, tells him to be quiet, and takes control of the mic, deserves a run at leader of the free world. Maybe she can even run against her dad!


Presidential race is heating up, but don't be surprised if one these 15 jump in the driver's seat. All joking aside, wouldn't it be fun to see one of these people as our next president? Which one is your favorite? Or who did I leave out that you would add to the list? Add them to the list!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
