Ellen DeGeneres is known as a hero by many. Her gut-splitting humor combined with her sincere love for others gets her about 3.9 million views per episode. Not only does she make dreams come true, she also gives priceless gifts to deserving people. For example, she has reunited many soldiers and their wives. She has a heart bigger than any other. So much so, that she became the world's designated "Ellen". There's no need for last names here. Just say "Ellen" and everybody knows which one you're talking about.

I first saw Ellen when I was about 13 years old. I turned on the TV and her show was the first to come up. "Why not?" I thought to myself. I had heard of her show before, but had never tried watching it. Little did I know I was walking into a trap.

Her videos are addicting. Honestly, they really are. I find myself on YouTube for hours at a time watching her clips. Crying one second, laughing the next, and gasping in shock after that. She has made young kids's dreams come true, donated money to those in extreme need, and even given cars to hardworking people who need to get to work efficiently. Talk about a dream job. The amount of satisfaction she gets from all of that giving probably makes her feel on top of the world at all times. Not to mention the amount of fun she has. She treats her staff members like her best friends, and spends her free time on set dancing with them, scaring them, and just being Ellen. If only there were more of her in this world.

One of Ellen's many talents is sharing her opinion on touchy topics without hurting anyone's feelings. Everyone is sensitive about something, and most controversial topics have been brought up on the Ellen show. Although she may have totally opposite opinions from some of her viewers, she gets her point across in a way that only makes it possible to respect her even more.

Back in 2012, Ellen DeGeneres spoke on her show about Bic's newest creation: Bic for Her, pink and purple pens "designed especially for women." According to the pen's product description on Amazon, it is "a sleek pen silhouette" and its "jeweled accents add style". She fired shots at the company for their sexist invention, but in the classiest way possible.

She started off with a joke about the "relief" women should have when they find out there is finally a writing utensil for them.

Then she got even further into her sarcasm.

But, there are some catches to this exciting new product.

Ellen, thank you for saying exactly what all women want to say. You are the queen.

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.
