Freaking News

The race for the new President of the United States is on. With our choices limited to Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton I have found myself in quite the pickle. I don't want either of them. No, I’m not trying to be unpatriotic. And yes I have found some candidates from earlier in the race that I liked. But I, like many others, have found myself in complete agony with answering the question of who I will be voting for. After weighing the pros and cons I find both unfit for the job of President.

So here I sit, sifting through the qualities and downfalls of two people that I cannot stand. What's a girl to do?

Well, here are 29 things I'd rather do than vote for either of them in this year's election.

1. Go sky diving without a parachute

2. Go sky diving at all

3. Live in a world with no wi-fi

4. Kiss a warty frog, that doesn’t turn into a handsome Prince

5. Get a parking ticket, get three parking tickets, and then get my car booted from having so many parking tickets

6. Live in a world without air conditioning

7. Never have eyebrows on fleek

8. Bathe in a pool of snakes

9. Text you back

10. Get a perm (again)

11. Listen to my voicemail box

12. Move to a Zika virus ridden country

13. Sit in front of someone smacking their gum

14. Live in a world without Beyonce

15. Date Chad from this season of the Bachelorette

16. Answer an unknown number

17. Take 20 credits every semester for four years

18. Send an embarrassing text to the wrong person

19. Run into my ex while hungover, makeup-less, and in last night’s clothes

20. Live in a world without Taco Bell

21. Do a juice cleanse

22. Always have my contour be unblended

23. Have straight across bangs for the rest of my life

24. Never take a good selfie

25. Bob for apples in a toilet

26. Work all day without a lunch break

27. Clog the toilet at my crush’s house

28. Never have more than $5 in my bank account

29. Literally anything

Though these may not seem like the most fun things to do, I expect these next four years will not be a cake-walk themselves. Although it has been drilled into us that voting is our patriotic duty, when faced with these options I believe it is better to not vote for either of these odious candidates. I, myself, would not like to be held responsible for the outcome of the next 4 years. I hope to be surprised and delighted by the hope of somehow our Senate and House of Representatives will use their checks and balances wisely.

Sadly, it looks like the 2020 election may not be much better, but who knows, maybe Kanye West really will “make America great again.” Try ti picture Kim Kardashian as the first lady, picking out China patterns. If it’s anything like her gift wrapping paper, you know, the one with the emojis of her rear end, then we're in for quite a wild few years.

So, when asked, "Who will you be voting for this year?" you now have some crafty new one liners telling them what you'd rather be doing.

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.
