Voting is kind of a big deal, so...

10 Kinds of People Who I Don't Trust to Vote
Rabbi Avi Shafran

1. People who are habitually fifteen minutes late.

I'm serious, you guys. If you don't have time management skills I just can't trust your judgment. Being late all of the time is unacceptable. You need to work on this before I give you your voting privileges back.

2. People who insist on eating outside at restaurants even though it's 100 degrees.

You are low key the worst at decision making. I can't eat when the sun is literally blistering my skin and it's too hot to breathe. I shudder to think of your rationale for picking a leader.

3. People who drive slowly in the fast lane and don't move over a lane even though I'm going faster than you.

You just need to have more respect for people. I can't trust you to pick the best person for this country if you behave like this.

4. People who think they're too cool or busy for social media.

I know you're all creeping in the shadows. I'm a busy adult, too, and it only takes three minutes to catch up on your accounts. I promise you aren't too cool for three minutes of your day. But if you think you're above it, then you must also be above voting so I'm taking that away from you.

5. People who post spoilers.

Just stop. You're ruining everyone's day. If you can't keep things to yourself, you are too much of a loose cannon and cannot take responsibility for voting.

6. People who get mad when people post spoilers.

You know it's going to happen, so stop whining. Whiners don't get to vote.

7. People who take forever to order in the drive-thru.

You have been to McDonald's at least 100 times in your life, so you should have a general idea of what you want. You're too indecisive to enter a voting precinct and the reason people are stuck in line after hours. YOU are the reason we have to wait so long to call the winner. No more!

8. People who have not seen The Lion King.

You just cannot participate in politics if you haven't watched the "Be Prepared" sequence.

9. People who insist they can't watch scary movies.

Not only do I not trust you to vote, I don't trust you to handle living in the United States. The stuff that happens here is way scarier than the stuff that happens in horror movies.

10. People who tell me that doughnuts are unhealthy.

You are the worst kind of person in the world. I KNOW, OKAY? Stop pointing it out and let me enjoy my delicious pastry. You're too annoying to be able to vote.


Obviously I'm joking. I actually want all of you to vote. It's your civic duty, so you better be out there in November!

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.

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.
