19 Things I'd Change If I Ruled The World

Sometimes there are realities in this life that we wish could be different -- for instance, one might wish that The Beatles had never broken up, or that people expressed love and joy more freely, or that boobs would do the boob-thing without the bra on. Whatever it may be, there are always going to be problems unique to us that we wish we had the power to change. But what if you woke up one day, and did? What silliness would you impose upon the world? What serious alterations would you make? Here are 19 silly but totally serious things that I would choose to change or make different.

1. Dogs would live forever.

Because, well, they deserve it.

2. Lactating coffee would be possible.

I mean, think how much money we'd all save.

3. Spiders would not exist.

We can all agree that the world would be a much better place this way.

4. People would need to pass an evaluation before they could reproduce.

Bottom line, some people just aren't fit to be parents. Which is completely fine, except for the fact that they keep having kids anyway.

5. Pumpkin would be a year-round flavor.

There's just no reason to limit the wonderfulness to one season.

6. Ellen Degeneres would be president.



Witty banter, clever remarks, and a kind heart. Just imagine the inauguration speech.

7. And Louis C.K. would be vice president.

8. Peanut butter would not have calories and neither would Nutella.

Two of the greatest gifts to Earth should be able to be eaten in copious amounts. It's 2015, this should be a thing by now.

9. Every guy that complained about being friend-zoned would automatically become stepson-zoned.


You know, immediately marry their father. Ultimate revenge.

10. Clothing would be optional.

No more leg prisons or Satanic underwire bras.

11. There would be more art.

Art. Art everywhere -- comforting the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable.

12. There'd be a Tinder, except strictly for girls' friendships.

Hey girl, what're you up to? Wanna drink mimosas and watch serial killer documentaries?

13. Meal orders would go as followed: pre-breakfast, breakfast #1, breakfast #2, breakfast #3, snack, lunch, snack, snack, dinner, snack.

This just seems like common sense.

14. Nobody would shove any sort of ideology down anyone's throat.

15. When people lied, their noses would actually grow.

16. Face contouring would actually be as easy as it looks.

17. Before people died, they would be offered the option of meeting all the different versions of themselves living in other people's minds.

18. Mean people would be forced to listen to Chanel West Coast's laugh on repeat until they decided to be nice.

19. "Harry Potter" would be real.

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.
