Kanye West For President In 2020

At first, I thought it was a joke when Kanye West announced at the VMAs this past September that he would run for president in 2020. However, the more I think about it, Kanye running for president may not be the worst idea. I mean, look at our current presidential candidates: Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Regardless of this year’s election, America is going to continue to struggle and Kanye may have what it takes to fix these issues (free Yeezys, duh).

You see, Kanye isn’t afraid to speak his mind and he’s made that very clear through his lyrics in various songs, as well as his many tweets that he later deletes after going on his infamous twitter rants. If he has an issue with someone or something don’t worry, he will take to twitter and express himself as he did so with Wiz Khalifa. So when we are feuding with another country don’t fret — Kanye will take care of things with his powerful voice of mind. Or take to social media. Either one works.

With college tuition rates at an all time high, Kanye views textbooks for college courses as being extremely costly and he thinks this as an issue that must be resolved. Many Americans have to agree with him on that one. Kanye also thinks that certain children’s apps on the iTunes app store should be free. However, it’s one thing to say that a $300 textbook is expensive but Mr. West contradicts himself as the prices for his clothing line, YEEZY Season, are outrageous. The price for a distressed white T-shirt covered in holes (similar to that of a rag) is at least $120. YEEZY Season crewneck sweaters and hoodies cost around $370 and jackets range from $1,000 to $4,000. Such reasonable prices.

Kim Kardashian would be the first lady. I know what you’re thinking, from the wise words of Kourtney Kardashian: "Literally Kim you're being so rude! Why does Kim Kardashian get to be the First Lady and not me?!"

And with Kim living in the White House, I’m sure that the rest of the Kardashian Klan will be making frequent visits to the White House as well. The real question is this: can America truly keep up with the Kardashians? E! Network will have an advantage here as they may even get the chance to launch a new hit television series titled “Kim & Kanye Take The White House.” The viewer ratings would definitely be sky high.

Finally, with Kanye serving as president of the United States, a new amendment will be made: The Right to Yeezys. Yes, that’s right, every sneaker heads dream come true (including mine) which is…FREE YEEZYS FOR EVERYONE! *Drops mic.* This may be more monumental than our rights to vote. Now, after missing the crucial online release date and having to spend up to $1,000 to buy a pair of Yeezys off of eBay, the sneakers will be free of cost and delivered to the front door of every U.S. household.

Now, imma let myself finish but… Despite the fact that this article was completely sarcastic in every which way, if Kanye were to actually run for president he would truly have my vote. I support Kanye in the long run. I mean, hey, he must be doing something right since he’s won 92 awards (21 of them being Grammys), is a sought-after producer, has his own clothing line and is a loving husband and father. He’s a talented young man who has a lot on his plate, with some wild dreams which one day may come true. #Kanye2020

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.
