Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh.

Ellen DeGeneres: The Realist Celebrity

Ellen DeGeneres. Does the name sound familiar? Well, it should, because she’s only the most recent Daytime Emmy Winner of the "Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show" award. Wow, it’s amazing how someone can go from being a vacuum cleaner saleswoman to one of the funniest talk show hosts on television, am I right? She’s also the voice of Dory in “Finding Nemo” and the creator of our favorite iPhone game, “Heads Up!”

You know, Ellen isn’t just your typical talk show host. Her fans are her energy, which allows Ellen to do giveaways, surprise people, scare them, and so much more. She brings 60-year-old hip hop dancers on the show, a young country girl who will be the President of the U.S. one day, sisters who surprise each other with their pregnancies, and twin girls from out of the country who can move like crazy and encourage cancer survivors and current cancer fighters to #JustKeepDancing. In case you’ve missed the last 12 seasons of Ellen, you should probably start catching up on the thirteenth to laugh so hard your stomach hurts. Here are a couple of my favorite moments from her show:



I could spend hours re-watching her YouTube videos, she is so funny.

So how can one describe who Ellen DeGeneres really is? Well, to start, she is thoughtful, brave, classy, a great role model, selfless, and, of course, ridiculously hilarious.She;ll make me laugh to the point where I am out of my seat crying and laughing so hard that I can’t breathe while pressing rewind on my DVR to watch a clip over and over and over again. Seriously, my mom and I will eat lunch together and watch the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" and still have our plates full by the end of the episode because we were laughing the whole time.

While Ellen likes to pick on celebrities such as Justin Bieber for never pulling his pants up or Jennifer Lawrence when she took a nice fall at the Oscars, it’s always out of love, and I think her fans and audience definitely understand that. Ellen is never offensive nor judgmental, which is why we should all respect her.

She might be the master of pranks, scares, and funny games, but she is also the most DeGENEROUS woman of all. Between Shutterfly giveaways, Ford cars, washer machines to help victims from Hurricane Katrina, vacations, and so much more, Ellen does it all.

If you’re ever having a bad day, tune in to "The Ellen Degeneres Show" at 4 p.m. on weekdays. “Be kind to one another.”

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.

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.
