Hot and Not at the 2016 White House Correspondents Dinner

The White House Correspondents Dinner, jokingly referred to as "Nerd Prom," brings in guests from all over for a night to honor the press' coverage of the administration. This is quite possibly the only night that you will see a swimsuit model accept an invitation to dinner from a journalist who writes press releases in a cubicle. The press and media outlets not only have attendees from within their own organizations but also invite big name celebrities and politicians, as well. Over the years, it has become one of the hottest tickets in town, and by town, I mean our nation's capital ... but anyways, with the biggest names in attendance, a lot of effort is put in to make sure you are set to impress on the big night. Sometimes they're hot, and sometimes they're not.

The Attire: HOT

Vivica Fox

Vivica stunned in a beaded gown by Jenny Packham.

Katie Lowes

The "Scandal" star looked elegant in this curve-hugging gown from Talbot Runhof.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall was the only member of her family to attend but certainly represented them well.

Tom Hiddleston

Not only does he look extremely dapper, but he has no problem acknowledging the real star with him on the red carpet.

Candace Cameron-Bure

"The View" host and "Fuller House" star looked flawless in floral for the big night.

The Attire: Not

Raven-Symone

Dear "That's So Raven", that's SO not hot! It's a good thing Candace was there to carry "The View" team because she definitely didn't get any help from Raven.

Helen Mirren

Although we have to respect the purple tribute to Prince, we don't have to feel bad enough to like this gown. The fit does nothing for her and the lace looks cheap and immature. Such a shame for someone who usually looks so elegant.

AnnaLynne McCord

We get that you're in the nation's capital, and you're really feelin' the red, white and blue while you're there, but I think there was another way you could've gone instead of with this graffiti-starred dress.

Nikki Bell

I can't help but feel as though, after being shown this dress, I am going to be asked what I see by a psychologist.

Connie Britton

This gown left the "Nashville" star looking frumpy and incomplete.

The Speeches: Hot

President Obama

The crowd responded positively as Obama let loose and showed off his sense of humor at his final WHCD during his Presidency. What better way to finish than with a classic mic drop. #ObamaOut

The Speeches: Not

Larry Wilmore

The comedian got very little love from the crowd throughout his more controversial than humorous speech. What he did get was a middle finger and a few boos. Not even the First Lady could fake her smile until the end.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
