I Have A Crush On Paul Ryan

But his good looks couldn't save that bill.

I Have A Crush On Paul Ryan
Gregg Segal

My name is Savanna Strott, I am eighteen years old, and I have a crush on Paul Ryan.

It's not that weird. He’s been in congress since 1999 , he is the Speaker of The House - third in line for president - and basically the crush of the American people (or at least the people of Wisconsin).

For me, the attraction has nothing to do with his political actions, party, nor ideology: not a fan of that health bill, just a fan of that face.

I mean, just look at that cute, smiling face. He looks so innocent and like someone who wouldn't aggressively push such a terrible health bill just to sit and watch it fail.

He's a model politician: handsome (and people like good-looking people), a husband, a father. It's traits like these that make him attractive to his district in Wisconsin and attractive to me.

Oh, if politics could only be about good looks and Americanness. Then, Paul, you would take the cake and the oval office.

But unfortunately, when people vote, they tend to remember some political blunders such as this one. Plus, that “America Dad” persona just might be tarnished due to your proposed bill wanting to hurt maternity coverage. And old people like to vote, but they do not like to pay to pay an “age tax” that was in your proposed bill. But brighten up sunshine; there’s still a lot of time between now and the 2018 elections. People could forget, and your good looks could pull you through again. No need to listen to “Last Resort”.

So you may be safe for another reelection, but sorry, Paul, even your sea green eyes couldn't sell me (or anyone) on that horrible health bill.

It’s been a tough week for you bud. In fact, the past 6 months have been pretty difficult: you didn’t want Trump in office, Trump became your president, that audio leak came out, your health bill flopped, and the internet is making fun of you.

It’s okay. It’ll turn out alright. Maybe some people think you are a bad guy who hates moms and the elderly, but at least a random 18 year outside of your district old finds you attractive. That's enough to make you feel better, right?

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.
