Deez Nuts For President?

HA Got Em!

Familiar?

Anyone?

If you didn't guess that's a famous line from the "Deez Nuts" Vine that has been scattered across the Internet universe. This Vine has been used at the butt of every joke you could ever imagine. It stars an African American male telling the person behind the camera that he got something in the mail and when the other person asks what it was, the guy says "Deez nuts! Ha Got Em!"

Or instead of just reading my description, you can watch the video!

Always cracks me up!

Anyways, some of you out there probably know this, but for those of you who don't there has been a recent addition to the presidential race, and he goes by the name of Deez Nuts. At first I thought this was a hoax, because clearly a vine famous man can't run for president, but instead of the person featured in this Vine, it's a 15-year-old boy from Iowa, who's real name is Brady Olson. How did this 15-year-old boy from Iowa even get a candidacy spot? And why is he polling at 9 percent? So many questions for this young man, but the only feeling I can really express is amazement.

It's crazy how much power we can give to one person in our country if we truly believe in them. The fact that this little farm boy took the time to fill out all the necessary paperwork to run is astonishing. Also, he is endorsing other presidential candidates, such as Bernie Sanders and John Kasich because he believes in many of the topics they touch upon. This kid's legit. He supports the deporting of all illegal immigrants, supports abortion and gay marriage, and wants to give voting rights to people in US territories.

He is also not a huge fan of Donald Trump, which isn't much of a surprise. Olson believes that Americans should support him rather than candidate, Donald Trump, and here's his reason why: "Because I'm young and I think I have fresher ideas because whatever decisions I make would have longer effects on me." The surprising amount of support Olson has been incredible and many definitely agree with this statement, but a 15-year-old president? I don't think the United States is ready for something like that. Kids running the country has always been a thought in my mind but never did I actually think it could be a possibility.

So there you have it! Deez Nuts (Brady Olson), a 15-year-old boy trying to become president. What do you think about this weird yet totally real addition? Will it spice things up? Probably. Will 15-year-old Brady Olson, aka Deez Nuts, actually win the presidential election of 2016? Eh...we'll see how that goes.

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.
