What The 2016 Candidates Should Be For Halloween

With the stress of the upcoming Republican and Democratic presidential debates, the candidates have little time to prepare a good costume to wear on All Hollow’s Eve. To save these tireless politicians some time and anxiety of going costume shopping, here are some suggestions that are surely easy, budget-friendly (no Super PAC donations required for the funding of these costumes) ideas, and brief reasons why they are fitting.

Vice President Joe Biden -- A ghost

He is the phantom of the Democratic debates; a man we know is watching but not present.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- Kate Gosselin

All she would need to do would be to get a simple trim.

Former Governor Martin O’Malley -- This stainglass window

Because this exists. All he needs are a few simple props.

Senator Bernie Sanders -- Doc Brown from "Back to the Future"

If he got a few hair extensions and continued to draw in young people with radical ideas, he would be very convincing.

Former Governor Jeb Bush -- An embarrassed rastafarian

Earlier this year, Bush admitted to recreationally smoking marijuana and later tweeted this referring to his pot use:

Dr. Ben Carson -- Will Ferrell as James Lipton

They both come off smart and wear glasses.

Governor Chris Christie -- Jeff Garlin

They’re both relatively likable guys with the same potato-shaped head.

Senator Ted Cruz -- Kevin from "The Office"

They have very similar looks, although Ted’s smile may not be as cute.

Carly Fiorina -- Miss America

Donald Trump, who owns the Miss America pageant called Fiorina beautiful at the last GOP debate, so obviously it wouldn’t be hard for her to transition into modeling -- and Trump has seen his fair share of models.

Former Governor Mike Huckabee -- Squirrel looking for a nut

“I’m just a squirrel looking for a nut.” -- Pitbull

Governor John Kasich -- This dinosaur

Senator Rand Paul—Justin Timberlake circa 2000

He could keep the ramen hair and be a convincing 90s pop star. An added bonus would be some frosted tips.

Senator Marco Rubio -- Guinea pig

He can’t stop hydrating; he might as well have a water bottle installed in his interviewing rooms.

Donald Trump -- A baby whose first hairs have started to come in

So many people try to pull him off, but he rocks the hair the most authentically.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
