Things To Think About Besides Politics
Vertical Heaven Climbing

If you're as sick of talking and hearing about Donald Trump and all the controversy that surrounds his name, and the executive orders he has established since taking office, take a look at these other things happening around the world. Some things are serious, some things are not, but they will all keep your mind off politics!


1. The upcoming Superbowl

What better way to keep your mind off politics then to think about sports instead, and the controversy surrounding Tom Brady.

2. Steve Harvey NOT messing up the Miss Universe Pageant this time

We all remember last year when Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner, but was still asked to come back this year. This time he came through with right name!

3. George H.W. Bush recovering from pneumonia

Amidst all the politics of the past few weeks, the former President was hospitalized for complications from pneumonia, but is expected to be released soon.

4. The Chinese New Year

This past weekend was the Chinese New Year. 2017 is the year of the Rooster.

5. The Death of Mary Tyler Moore

Mary Tyler Moore recently passed away on January 25, 2017 at the age of 80. She was best known as an actress, on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

6. The man who paid his DMV bill in pennies

A man paid a $3000 bill to the DMV, but was not happy about it, so he paid it in all pennies.

7. SNOW

For those of you who live in the north or northeast, as I do, you know we have a lot to deal with when we get snow, which seems like every other day. Who has time to worry about politics when you're worrying about whether or not you can get out of your driveway?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

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.

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.
