Rumor Has It Dwayne Johnson Is Running For President, Quite Frankly, I Think He'd "Rock" The White House

By now, everyone in America has probably heard of the country going crazy over the possibility of Oprah Winfrey as the 46th President of the United States. But, before Oprah's name got tossed in the hat, there was another person that had my interest, specifically.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

So, why would this professional wrestler turned A-list movie star be able to make a solid run for the Oval Office? Well, let's start with his humble beginnings.

Johnson frequently references his family's financial struggles and how he and his family were evicted from their residence. How did he try to combat these struggles? He turned to the gym. He started working out and, to this day, he says he still works out like his family is about to get evicted.

Johnson attended college at the University of Miami with a football scholarship where he was a defensive tackle. (Fun fact: Johnson was on the Hurricanes' National Championship team in 1991.) After getting cut from the Calgary Stampeders (a Canadian Football League team), he began to train to become a professional wrestler.

During his time as a wrestler, he won over the crowd during the majority of his career with his charisma and his speaking ability. The Rock became "The Great One" and "The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment."

Johnson left the WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in Hollywood where he became a household name, even more so than during his wrestling days.

So, that's a great career so far. But, why oh why does that mean that Johnson would be a good Commander-in-Chief? Well, in an interview with GQ, Johnson has said that he hasn't ruled out a political career path yet.

And if celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump made it as politicians, why can't The Rock?

He's a smart man, as well. He owns his own company (Seven Bucks Productions). He is super hard-working. He gets up early every single morning to hit the gym and proceeds to work all day long.

So why in the world would people vote for him? Well, I'll give you all some reasons why.

1. He's a smart man.

2. He's a successful entrepreneur.

3. He has executive experience.

4. He is above average in his communication skills.

So those are just some simple reasons to vote for Johnson, but here's another thing that I've saved for last: he is one of the kindest humans on the planet.

I've seen countless Instagram posts of The Rock stopping his truck outside of a set in order to chat with fans after a long day of filming. A lot of actors don't do that.

So, will we see The Rock make a run for the White House in 2020?

Probably not. Johnson has big plans and he is showing no signs of slowing down. But, and you're hearing this here first, folks, maybe in the year 2028, we could see a very electrifying individual on our ballots for the President of the United States.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
