What I Learned Doing 2016 Campaign Work

1. Some people who I thought were friends put me out of their life. Because I have different political opinions, one of the silliest reasons I’ve witnessed. However, I learned that they are truly not my friends and I understand that it was not God’s plan to remain in life. My response is one of the lines in Auld lang syne. I wish these individuals the best in their future endeavors and I hope that they grow up.

2. Speaking of politics, I had many fights break out on social media. Though I was never affiliated with his campaign, I posted a lot of content about Marco Rubio and fought many Trump supporters. It was basically a hockey fight, then it turned into a brawl. I supported Marco because he was reasonable and had the best chance to beat Clinton

3. Trump even on my voting day. I voted absentee and cast a vote for Gary Johnson. Do I regret that ? Yes. Yes, I do. When I voted the Trump Tapes came out and I wanted to vote for someone that could gain 270 electoral votes. Johnson had several gaffes, and I would not be shocked if his campaign was sponsored by Cheech and Chong, he was the worst candidate from a party standpoint. His VP Bill Weld started campaigning for Hillary Clinton , that’s like a player willfully leaving a team and intentionally signing with a rival.

4. In my opinion, people really went overboard concerning the election. People act like we all are going to die or that Trump will put people in concentration camps. While some of his ideas do concern me, a candidate who has ties to terrorist organizations and hates the Second Amendment was a far greater threat.

5. Stop calling everyone who is patriotic racist or xenophobic. There is nothing wrong with being proud of one’s country and wanting it’s best interests over those of other countries

6. Our generation needs to dea with it and stop being snowflakes that need safe spaces for everything

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.
