2016 Presidential Candidates As 90s Cartoon Characters
Icy Tales

Chances are, if you're in college these days, you grew up watching Nickelodeon in the 90s. All of us 90s kids are affectionately referred to as "millennials" and we'll be playing an important role in the upcoming presidential primaries — ultimately in the presidential election, come November. Given the difficulty of truly understanding the candidates, as a result of the over-saturation of the media, I've taken the liberty of simplifying each candidate by comparing them to lovable cartoon characters from the 90s. A caveat, of course, is that all cartoon characters were written to have at least a few redeeming qualities — but you could certainly argue that not all the presidential candidates are particularly lovable, this year. Anyhow, feel free to let your appreciation for 90s cartoons influence your vote in 2016!

Hilary Clinton — Angelica Pickles


The Clinton name is as famous in the realm of politics as the Pickles name was within the world of cartoon television in the 1990s. Though both Hilary and Angelica put on smiles from time to time, attempting to endear themselves to at least 51% of the people around them, it's hard to forgive them for what many people believe is an innate propensity for hypocrisy.


Ted Cruz — Stinky Peterson



Both individuals are known for their lack of Southern charm, despite being unabashedly Southern. Also, they both just look kind of creepy.


Donald Trump — Mr. Krabs



Unapologetically selfish individuals, it's all about money and power for these two slimy business moguls.


Bernie Sanders — Lou Pickles



Bernie and Lou are both lovable old men and are living embodiments of consistency. Much in the same way Bernie speaks to the hearts of millennials across the country despite being so old, Lou Pickles provides unwavering support for the little Rugrats throughout the entirety of his cartoon existence.

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.
