15 Things I Would Rather Do Or Hear About Than Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton

15 Things I Would Rather Do Or Hear About Than Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton

2016 has shown to be a very pivotal and history changing year. Bernie Sanders, a former Senator for the Socialist party was almost neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Mrs. Clinton, a former first lady and Secretary of State, has made history as the first woman to win a top party nomination for the presidency -- even after a nasty e-mail scandal. The Republican Party is being led by a business tycoon and television celebrity, whose favorite past time is talking about this big wall he wants to build along the southern border of the United States.

Gun rights are the hottest topic in politics, aside from police brutality and Black Lives Matter. We live in a world where we are bombarded by politics and social issues through every orifice of media. You turn on the television or radio and they are talking about what's happening in the Middle East and with the president and the election. You open Facebook or Twitter and everyone is bashing Clinton for being a terrorist and traitor and for Trump being a fascist and an idiot.

And you know what? I am so sick of it. So for the sake of hilarity, I have compiled a list of things I would absolutely love to hear about more than Clinton or Trump, or anything else remotely political.

1. How much money I am racking up in student loan debt.

2. The rise in tuition at my institute of higher education.

3. How my bank over drafted my account and won't refund my fee.

4. How comfortable my mother felt during her colonoscopy.

5. How many people called in to work at my job.

6. How I have to clean the toilet.

7. About my uncle's last bowel movement (Hint: It was a doosey).

8. That my dog just died.

9. That I still only make minimum wage at my job.

10. The thoughts anticipating my next gynecological exam.

11. How someone hasn't showered at all in three or four days.

12. Hearing the sound of smacking gum.

13. Watching kids destroy a display I just created at work.

14. Balancing my check book.

15. Talking to any customer service operator that speaks English as a second language.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
