12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate

If your Republican family finds you wildly liberal and your Democratic friends find you strictly conservative... You're probably a moderate.

12 Times You Knew You Were A Moderate
BCNN1

Let's be real, if you identify yourself as a moderate, this political season was a very uncomfortable season for you. With the Democrats and the Republicans always arguing, you often felt like the child of divorced parents. Trying to make peace between two extremes is no easy task and often times people just think you can't make up your mind, but hopefully these 12 items make moderates and their friends laugh and realize what a weird, but a great position, it is to not identify with a particular party. So here are 12 times where I and maybe yourself confirmed the suspicion that you were definitely a moderate.

(Disclaimer: I am not speaking on behalf of all moderates, I'm just speaking for myself, so don't take this too seriously, it's just good fun!)

1. When you find yourself cringing at the words "always" or "never".


2. You wrote in a candidate for President, and felt like it was the best decision you could make.


3. Your conservative family members find you wildly liberal, and your liberal friends find you strictly conservative.


4. The words "Pro-Life Feminist" doesn't faze you one bit.


5. You can find the good in any President (If I could've voted back in '08, probably wouldn't have voted for Obama but hey, I can say he's done some cool things as President! Let's hope I can say the same about Trump.)


6. Joe Biden memes give you life.


7. This picture makes your heart so happy.


8. The letter Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hagar wrote to Sasha and Malia was one of your favorite things.


9. You roll your eyes every time someone says they are moving to Canada..


10. You really liked Scandal seasons 1-3 and hated it from then on.


11. You really liked Marco Rubio (Okay maybe that was just me...)


12. You know at the end of the day, whoever our President is, your duty is to be a citizen, and you want your country to succeed.

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.
