Waking up Wednesday morning and knowing who our next president is was extremely scary. I knew that he would get some votes but I didn't think we would actually win. This just says a lot about where our hearts are. Yes both choices weren't the best, but I can not sit and watch a man who talks badly about women, minorities, and other religions be a leader of this country. He is not fit to lead the country. The scary part about all this is that he has the Senate, Congress and House of Representatives because they are all REPUBLICANS. Some people may think that it’s not all that serious but it is. As a Black female, he is against me in every way. I don’t understand how people expect me to be okay with this. As you can see I haven't addressed him by his name because I don’t have to. For the next 4 years while he’s in office I’ll still be in college. Now please tell me I have nothing to worry about. As much as I want to throw all my anger and frustration to him, it’s also the people that are under his sleeve.

Those of you who think that he will supposedly make our country great again, think again. Those who don’t see the problem because you're not a minority, or an Immigrant, or Muslim, etc, so you don’t see why we are frustrated. Also for the last 8 years all people wanted to do is blame Obama for everything and say that he didn't do anything good, but you expect trump to do anything good at all? Obama making history as the first African American to become president is something that I can’t wait to tell my future kids about. Some people get offended by him because he is an Educated Black men. Well I have news for those out there that are under trump’s sleeves. We have a powerful tool called Knowledge and were gonna use it. And to Mr. Trump, I hope you do try and help this country. Because if not, were all screwed.

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.
