<p style="text-align: left;">The TIME 100 Gala was this week, and I<span>&nbsp;can't stop thinking about how amazing that night was - mainly because I got to be in the same vicinity as Secretary Hillary Clinton, have a silly conversation with Stephen Colbert, and later do karaoke with Tilda Swinton. A</span>fter the video team filmed the red carpet, we posed for a photo of our own.
