2016 Potential Presidential Candidates

Good evening from the campus of Georgia State University here in Atlanta, Georgia. We have discovered new hopeful prospects for the 2016 Presidency.

These are my selection of individuals that I would consider voting for over those currently in the race. Please note that despite technicalities, such as deaths, naturalization concerns, and/or arrest records, these candidates are more than capable to become the next President of the United States.

1. The Grinch

“I am the Grinch that stole Christmas... and I'm sorry.”

Although the Grinch found it necessary to say and do anything in his power to ruin Christmas, he was able to turn around and apologize for the times he misspoke and/or dismissed the feelings of others.

The Grinch also tried to make up for any wrong-doing by proving he had in fact changed. Actually being able to admit being wrong was the Grinch’s first step in the right direction to becoming a wonderful leader.

2. Cristina Yang

“Oh, screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain.”

She’s brilliant and efficiently intelligent in the science world. Additionally, Cristina is fiercely loyal and passionate on topics she supports.

3. Zordon

“Rangers, you must act swiftly; the planet is in grave danger!”

Zordon was able to convince teenagers to save their city as well as the world. If that isn’t president worthy, I don’t know what is.

4. Elsa

"Conceal, don't feel; don't let it show."

Elsa is an experienced politician. The Queen is able to conceal her inner feelings despite hardships in any situation. She is also an advocate for women’s rights and funding global warming research.

5. Steve Urkel

"But...but, I never...I never got less than...than an A."

He’s a genius. Steve also shows a deep ability to be dedicated, and his wife Laura can elaborate on that attribute.

6. Leslie Knope

"No matter what I do, literally nothing bad can happen to me. I'm like a white male U.S. Senator."

Leslie weighs her options, and she just gets the legislative system. She's a confident, strong-willed, born leader.

7. Derek Shephard a.k.a. Dr. McDreamy

"It's a beautiful day to save lives. Let's have some fun.”

Also familiar with the medical world, Shepherd is Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. If Derek believes in something, he will go to desperate lengths to make it a reality. Who wouldn't want him as president?

8. Cookie Lyon

"Yeah, that's my name. Take a bite."

Despite her record as President, Cookie would be able to make judicial reforms. This no-nonsense woman would be able to relate to citizens of all classifications, as well as set the record straight on events that could happen.

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.
