21 Things That Run Through Your Mind When You Don't Care About Politics

Politics. Recently, it is even more of a sore subject that it has been in the past. If you're anything like me (which I know a lot of you are) then words like election, president, and political party, mean absolutely nothing to you. Even though they should.

Yes, I am aware that it is my future. Yes, I am aware that I should care. However, I do not.

While everyone around you is talking about the upcoming election, about whether or not they are going to vote for Trump, Bernie, or Hilary, your brain is ANYWHERE else.

Here are some thoughts that may be running through your brain, while listening to people talk about the 2016 election.

1. I wonder what I'm going to have for dinner tonight?

2. Trump wants to build a wall?! How is that possible? Wouldn't that take like the entire time he is in office to build?

3. I should probably clean my room.

4. Yes! Grey's Anatomy is on tonight! I gotta remember to DVR it.

5. Wait, is Bernie actually dying or is he just old?

6. I'm never going to be able to keep up with this political jargon.

7. I wish I cared more. Why don't I care more?

8. I mean this kinda stuff doesn't affect me directly, does it?

9. I'll be dead before another World War happens anyway.

10. Wow. Some people really care about this crap. I wish I was like them.

11. Why is Chicago deep-dish pizza even considered real pizza?

12.Ted Cruz really might be the zodiac killer.

13. He might be Kevin from The Office too. They could be twins. It's weird.

14. Ugh, I need new shoes. I haven't looked down at my feet for this long in a really long time and I'm almost embarrassed.

15. Independent Party? I throw parties by myself all the time with a bottle of wine and endless Netflix.

16. INDEPENDENT PARTIES ALL DAY!

17. 38

18. I wonder who my cats would for? Cause that's who I'm going to vote for.

19. Hilary is a liar, but I might be a liar too if my husband had a Monica Lewinsky.

20. Oh, somebody's angry.

21. Wait, they're done talking about it! Yes!

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.
