What If The Presidential Candidates Were Our Favorite Movie Characters?

The 2016 Presidential election will most likely go down as one of the most controversial, weird and crazy elections in American history. But, what if the presidential candidates were actually characters from our favorite movies? Plot Twist!


Jill Stein: The Invisible Woman


Jill who? Well, she holds the current record for the most votes ever received by a woman candidate for President in the general election. According to her website, she’s also a mother, organizer, physician, environmental-health advocate and Green Party nominee. However, she’s basically the Invisible Woman in the 2016 election.

Sorry Jill, maybe next time.


Bernie Sanders aka Jedi Master

Bernie Sanders hasn’t been around for 900 years like Yoda, but he’s definitely experienced. His career includes having been a mayor, congressman, senator and presidential candidate. He focused his campaign on enlightening the minds of the youth with his ideas about socialism and free education. Similarly, Yoda taught “The Force” to young Jedi and helped them fight back against the Dark Side.



Hillary Clinton or Dolores Umbridge?

You knew this one was coming. The political agendas of Ms. Umbridge and Senator Clinton are very similar. Ms. Umbridge was power hungry and ambitious to become the Headmistress of Hogwarts. She was supposedly on the good side, working with the government to defend the wizarding world. Yet, her real agenda was to become the Headmistress and establish total control. But, wait she’s only doing this for the good and welfare of the children…


Gary Johnson: Willie Nelson


I can totally picture Gary Johnson and Willie Nelson passing a joint back and forth, discussing animal rights and environmental issues. I don’t know if I could picture Gary Johnson or Willie Nelson being the President of the United States. But hey, I’m down for legalizing weed. #votenumber2


Donald Trump: Ironman


Donald Trump: Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist? Donald Trump is basically the politicized version of Tony Stark. Mr. Trump is boundlessly arrogant, claims a net worth of $8.7 billion dollars and mostly has no filter. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t count him out. If Tony Stark could clean up his act and save the world, I’m counting on Trump to do the same.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
