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.

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.
