Coming of the new year marks one year closer to the 2020 Presidential Election. And that means some politicians have their eyes set on the Oval Office. With the Trump administration having some type of news-story every day it seems, many are ready to get him out.

And yes - I am looking at every young voter who is finally going to be eligible to vote - get out in 2020 and vote. But, who has their eyes on the prize so far? Who should we look for to possibly clinch the Democratic Nomination?

1. Joe Biden

I love Joe Biden, and according to the news, the former Vice-President is in the lead for being the potential Democratic Nominee in 2020.

In an Iowa Poll, Biden, O'Rourke, and Sanders are lead the Democratic caucus.

But, the real question is, is Biden wanting to?

2. Bernie Sanders

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is another one to keep an eye for come the 2020 elections. A favorite amongst young voters back in 2016, Sanders started what he called a "Revolution". He focused on the young voters, gaining the popular support for being the democratic nominee but lost to Hillary Clinton.

With the backing Sanders had in 2016, he is a top contender to run for 2020.

3. Beto O'Rourke

One of the most heartbreaking races in the midterms, O'Rourke was a huge favorite down in Texas when running for Ted Cruz's seat in the Senate. One of the closet races down in Texas, O'Rourke loss struck the hearts of many back in November.

O'Rourke could easily become a top nominee come the 2020 elections- he still the hearts of many with his passion and work.

4. Cory Booker

Senator Cory Booker said that over the Holidays he will be deciding if he will be running for the 2020 presidential election. Earlier this year he mentioned about running in 2020, but does he have enough backing to get him far in the game?

5. Elizabeth Warren

We have seen Senator Elizabeth Warren in action and is one of the Dems top tier progressives in their party's wing. Back in 2016, Warren had high odds of being President if she ran, but with recent controversies, her backing has slightly declined.

Could Warren pull off a 2020 win for the Dems?

The list if potential democratic nominees go on and on, but the top three contenders are the ones to keep on eye out for come 2019. Who will make the move first?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
