With the presidential election approaching quickly, many of us have formed opinions on who would make an okay president, and who would screw up our country beyond belief. Here are eleven other potential candidates to take the place of Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.

1. An actual cat

Cats are independent creatures who are self-cleaning, they march to the beat of their own drum and won’t listen to a thing you say. A cat would be a better president than Donald Trump because tabby looks good on a cat but horrible on Trump.

2. Beyoncé

She is already the queen; it just makes sense.

3. Me

Although I am not currently planning on running for president, if it comes down to it…I will. I would make a better president than Donald Trump because I have actual common sense. I believe all people should have basic human rights, like a choice for their own body, and a place to live…just the stuff that everyone should have rights to.

4. An actual wall

Instead of having Donald Trump become president and build a wall, we should have an actual wall as our president. It would be very stern when making decisions, and its political views probably won’t ever change.

5. More Barack Obama

The majority of Americans would agree that Barack Obama has not put our country into shambles. Donald Trump will, though; it’s almost guaranteed.

6. Mark Zuckerberg

As far as I know, he is a rather good businessman, he hasn’t gone bankrupt, and clearly he has good ideas. Some of you may be reading this on Facebook RIGHT NOW!

7. Taylor Swift

She is America’s sweetheart. She is levelheaded, and she has never had a scandal, as opposed to the many scandals Donald Trump seems to stir up.

8. Your mom

One difference between your mom and Donald Trump is that your mom doesn’t want to bang you.

9. An almond farmer

Because of how much water it takes to grow almonds, farmers know what it’s like to take criticism about the California drought and deal with it in a professional manner. Donald Trump doesn’t know how to handle such criticism.

10. An orange tree

Donald Trump resembles a rotten orange, something that an orange tree discards when it is no longer needed.

11. Literally anybody

Between an awful spray tan, terrible political views, and a “small” loan of one million dollars, literally anybody would make a better president than Donald Trump. I hope you can consider some of these candidates as write-ins when you vote for president on November 8, 2016!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
