The Real World: Washington, DC

First we had Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and now we have the 2016 presidential debates.

The Real World: Washington, DC

No matter what your political stance is, I think we are all in agreement that these presidential debates are simply out of control. They are full of bickering and nonsense, and basically are a stage full of egos colliding with one another. Every time I tune in I honestly feel like I'm watching a reality TV show. If "Mob Wives" and "Jersey Shore" had a baby, it would be these debates. If you think about it, these candidates would make one hell of a cast for a new show on MTV. We put all of them under one roof and film them 24/7. No holds barred, unrated and uncut. Reality television is jam packed with immaturity and irresponsible behavior, so they would have no problem getting adjusted. It's pretty frightening to think about the fact that these are the nominees for Commander in Chief.

For starters, we have Trump, the epitome of reality TV. If you put this guy's campaign on E! for a half hour every Thursday night it would probably win an Emmy. The Donald is a total loose cannon who you either love or hate. He's pretty much Mike “The Situation” with worse hair. Seeing him flat out bully his competition every Republican debate is must-see TV. But for real, somebody has to let him know that this isn't a new season of "Celebrity Apprentice," it's for who is going to become the next President of the United States. Here's an exclusive clip from the latest debate of Trump's response to Ted Cruz on immigration reform:


On the topic of Ted Cruz and reality television, he would be the guy on "The Real World" that everyone absolutely hates. There's always that one guy on the show universally disliked, and Ted fits the bill. I don't know about you, but every time I look at this guy I just want to punch him in the face. Some people think he could make a good president, but if he doesn't change his face I'm going to change it for him. Whenever he talks I don't even know what he's saying because his face drives me nuts.

Then of course, there's Hillary. Without a doubt the easiest person to make fun of on the planet. Her random shouting and sad attempts of trying to be cool and trendy are like watching a train wreck. But on a serious note, I’d like to have a moment of silence for the “dab.” Not too long ago, Hillary went on the Ellen show and single handedly slaughtered this dance move on live television. It was a sad day and tragic loss for all the dabbers of the world, however it is stunts like this that have made great additions to this sitcom of debates.

I really don't have much to say about Bernie Sanders other than he seems like a chill guy. I can't help but make another "Jersey Shore" reference and say he's like the Vinny of the pack. He's down to earth and very likable. I will add that anyone touting the catchphrase "Feel The Bern" has to be pretty cool. I might vote for him just off that alone. Everyone else running/ran for President either dropped out or is getting murdered in the polls so I'm not even going to get into them. I don't think anyone would notice if John Kasich didn't show up to the next debate.

For the record, by no means is this some sort of reflection on my political views. I'm just saying I'd pay a lot of money to watch Hillary and Ted Cruz go clubbing in Seaside. That might even be a Pay-Per-View special. With the way this whole running for president thing is shaking out, don't be surprised to see HBO announce they have something big coming this fall.

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.

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.
