What if Political Candidates Were Your Professors?

With the political elections heating up, these four candidates are hot topics. In fact, I bet you can’t scroll through your social media feed without finding an inappropriate Donald Trump joke or an age joke about Bernie.

While people have diverse opinions about who is qualified to lead the nation, what I want to know, is how would these candidates fare in the classroom? What if the political candidates were your college professors?

Donald Trump


This is that professor that goes on random political rants. Most likely an underpaid political science professor that probably lost their voter’s registry 13 years ago. He is rude and very politically incorrect. He’s the jerk that will staple McDonald’s applications to your final exam when you fail.

Hillary Clinton

This is the teacher that smiles at you and then eats your soul. She most likely will not answer your questions if you’re confused about a topic. She’s the one that convinces you it will not be on the test, but then question six is precisely what you had asked about. She will try to dress very fashionable for her age, but the color blue will not be in her wardrobe.

Ted Cruz


This is the guy that tries to be “hip” and relate to you on a generational level. He says things like “yo” or “bro.” He allows you to call him by his first name or something corny like “Teddy.” He probably has followed you on Instagram and tried to see if you had a Myspace account you’ve never deactivated. You will take his class for an easy A, but you won’t learn anything.

Bernie Sanders

He’s that old guy that somehow understands you. He’s the one that puts in substitutions on your degree audit to make sure you graduate on time. He doesn’t give assignments during the school breaks. He will probably bump your grade percentage. His class will be more about retaining knowledge than performing well on tests.

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.
