Should DJ Khaled Be Our Next President?

As the 2016 Presidential Election campaign continues to flourish, it seems as if most of this year's candidates either enrage us or make us go "meh" and shrug our shoulders. I personally think we could use a new perspective, someone fresh, and a man that knows how to connect with the people through modern technology. The person who I am referring to is Snapchat's newest and most beloved celebrity: DJ Khaled.

Hip hop producer DJ Khaled began sharing his journey of the keys to a more successful life through his daily inspiring speeches on Snapchat in 2015. Now, after this star’s following became large enough to adopt fans from ages 13 to 85, I think many people who are new to these inspiring phrases are wondering why would we want to take advice from a large, hairy man going through his daily private tasks such as showering and even sweating it out during a full gym session on the elliptical?

The answer, my friends, is simple, and quite frankly, this guy has some serious potential for a presidential candidate position.


First of all, he cares about his fan base, which I’m almost positive would be reflected onto the entirety of America, quite possibly even the world, if he was elected president. Fan love equals citizen equality, am I right?


Secondly, the man truly advocates for the right to an essential animalistic need: eating. Aside from DJ Khaled’s agreement with the company, Ciroc, to advertise the expensive liquor through pictures and photos, he really loves to let us know what he’s eating. His gourmet, yet healthy, portions correlate to the fact that each and every American should have access to food. This is an essential part of his day, and it is something that is truly cherished. He would definitely not like to see anyone go hungry.

Here is where my theory comes to a little bit of a halt. The potential candidate uses the phrase “bless up” daily, which, depending on how you look at it, may not be a separation of church and state. Though some people wouldn’t even acknowledge this saying as actually advocating for a specific religion, it still may cause controversy among the American people. We would have to provide a disclaimer of Khaled’s promotional ads and posters if we were to use this ambiguous yet hopeful phrase, letting the people know that blessing up is really picking ourselves up from whatever heavy pressures are forcing us to hunch over.

On a lighter note, the producer is passionate about the environment. He wakes up each morning and waters the plants of his own multimillion-dollar mansion, where we are lucky enough to greet the “lion," a statue that is representative of our own character and how we must continue to unleash our inner beast, even if we think we have reached success.

As far as views on foreign policy go, DJ Khaled believes that there is a “they” and a “you." The “they” in a situation does not want you to succeed, do your best, have a jetski, pet a tiger, run two miles, eat a piece of double chocolate cake, basically anything that you want to do “they” do not want you to do. Therefore, DJ Khaled believes that in order to be the best person you can be, do what feels right to you only (this may look like separatism).


Finally, Khaled Mohammed Khaled is the type of man that brings out the best in each and every one of his followers, employees, fans, etc. He enjoys making people happy, knows his self-worth, exercises, has fun with friends, has several jobs, makes time for people whom he may not even know, all while continuing to encourage based on his own accomplishments, and of course, is a great public speaker.

Overall, the man seems like a well-rounded guy, and if elections were purely based upon apps that were created in order to send nudes, he would be my first choice.


Voting is a major key. Bless up.

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.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
