10 Things To Talk About That Don't Involve The Election

Believe me, I think it is so important to talk about political issues, especially with the importance of this election that is coming at us in less than a few weeks. In fact, if you have only been getting streams of left or right views from your friends, I encourage you to look at all of the issues with your own eyes and decide what you think is best. This is the website I think is the best source for accurate information on both sides of the issues: http://www.theskimm.com/2016-election.

However, after you have done your research, I think it is also important to take a step back and realize that there are other things to talk about. Our social medias are being overwhelmed by the election, in extremely negative fashions and we are all in need of a little break before the big election day. So, here are some things to talk about that don't involve the election to give you that needed refresher:

1) The Kardashians.

No matter what else is going on in the world, you can guarantee the Kardashians will always give us something to talk about.

2) McDonald's

The fact that McDonald's in Japan is now selling witch fries for Halloween, with a sweet potato/chocolate topping, warrants some sort of discussion. Like, "why?" maybe.

3) Fantasy Football

.

There is always some sort of argument to get into with your co-workers over who surprisingly beat who.

4) Lady Gaga and Michael Buble

These two just released new albums that are definitely worth checking out. No, the albums weren't done together, even though that would be incredible. *hint, hint producing world*

5) Glitter beards

They are real and they are beautiful.

6) Attractive baseball players

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Kris Bryant?

9) All of the Halloween costumes you wish you could unsee

Like, really though.

8) The countdown to next summer

It'll be here before you know it, right?

9) Finishing that one assignment

That is due in just a few hours.

10) Harambe

After all, it was an inside job.

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.
