2016 Election: It's Your Choice
CNN.com

With The Democratic (Philadelphia) and Republican (Cleveland) National Conventions looming It is fair to say that this years election will be Trump vs. Hillary. It is also fair to say that these two people are very accomplished in their own respects.

Trump a Real Estate Mongol and Hillary a experienced Politician passing many bills through the years. Whether you choose to support Trump or Hillary that is your choice!

Since Trump and Hillary have been the clear Nominees for their respected parties I have heard so many things about these two individuals. People say why would you vote for Hillary she is a liar and a traitor to our country and then why would you vote for Trump he is a Racist and a Bigot.

Trump's to biggest points is illegal immigration and US trade deals. Hillary is big on education and equal pay for women. People may see illegal immigration as a problem. Education might not be a big issue for them. But it's your vote so it's your choice!

In America people are entitled to their opinions and their beliefs. This means that although you see one candidate as a bad candidate there is another person who may like that said candidate.

Trump may or may not be all of those things but the important thing is that he and his supporters have their right to express their views. Also Hillary may or may not be all of thoes things but once again it is her and her supporters rights to express their views and opinions. This is everyone's first amendment right!

It does not matter what people think. If you want to support Trump be proud its your choice! If you throw your support Hillary's way be proud! don't be deterred by other people a them shaming you because you are for a specific candidate. All that matters is that both Trump and Hillary are qualified to run for President that's all that matters!

Don't forget that you do not need to vote along party lines! If you are a democrat don't be afraid to vote for a republican and if you are a republican don't be afraid to vote democrat. vote for the candidate not the party. So you can be a Democrat that likes Trump or a Republican that likes Hillary. (Just a scenario). Vote for who you want

It's your choice! don't be influenced by media, friends, or family! If you vote it is your choice! You can vote for the Independent that is running or you can write in a name! Its your right and vote for the candidate that best represents you!

So before November truly find your political beliefs and choose someone you want! After all it's your choice.

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.
