40 Things I'd Rather Have Than A Man Bun Ken Doll

Yahoo

Mattel Inc. decided that since it was 2017, they should probably get around to creating a more diverse group of Ken dolls because Barbie is tired of having only one option for romance.

This idea, though good in theory, was executed terribly. The dolls were not necessarily culturally diverse. Instead, they gave us hipster Ken dolls, and the worst one of all was the "Man Bun Ken Doll". Don't get me wrong, I love a good man bun. But not when the purpose is to create a more diversified doll. Man Bun is about as basic as you can get. The internet took to Twitter to relay their reactions to this new doll and as you can see, they weren't thrilled by it either.

This got me thinking, what if we actually got what we wanted/needed instead of this unnecessary invention.

Here are 40 things I'd rather have than a "Man Bun Ken Doll".

1. A new Taylor Swift album

2. A cure for cancer

3. Infinite puppies

4. A stop to global warming

5. Polar bears to not be extinct

6. For Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to be together again

7. For the Great Barrier Reef to not be dead

8. For Lululemon leggings to be on sale at all times

9. No lines at Disney World

10. For Spotify Premium/Apple Music to be free

11. No cost for textbooks

12. New movies that aren't sequels/remakes

13. For ice cream to have zero calories but taste phenomenal

14. For sunglasses to never get scratches

15. Another season of 'The Office'

16. For Chris Harrison to be the next Bachelor

17. For Netflix to be free

18. For swimsuits to be less expensive

19. Unlimited supply of free samples at Costco

20. Bees to not be endangered

21. For makeup to be less expensive

22. To be a member of Taylor Swift's Squad

23. For gas to be free

24. No commercials on youtube

25. A job at Buzzfeed (please hire me in a few years thanks)

26. No more mosquito bites ever

27. For Ansel Elgort to be my boyfriend (or really a boyfriend in general that works too)

28. An end to world hunger

29. No war

30. More glitter, on everything

31. For Guitar Hero to make a comeback

32. World peace

33. Free shipping on every online order ever

34. For 8:30's to not exist

35. Free college tuition

36. Boys that don't cheat

37. An actually diverse group of Ken dolls

38. Proportionate Barbie dolls that give girl's realistic standards

39. Foundation that actually matched every skin tone

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.
