The Dumbest Controversy: Planned Parenthood

This summer, videos were released proving once and for all that Planned Parenthood, a government funded organization sells baby parts. Well, kind of. Turns out the videos were too heavily doctored to prove anything. And Planned Parenthood isn't actually government funded, they just give Medicaid reimbursements like any other doctor's office. Oh and they aren't aren't selling or profiting off anything either...


Best Bitchface Award: Hillary Clinton at the Bazillionth Benghazi Hearing

3 years later and we're still arguing the Republicans are still desperate to find a way to pin it on Hillary Clinton. No, literally, the same man who formed the "Benghazi Special Committee" is proudly admitting that it was all a plan to drop her approval ratings. We've spent more money investigating Benghazi than 9/11 and the Oklahoma City Bombings combined.

The Most "What the Hell How is This Still a Controversial Statement" Award: Black Lives Matter


You think it'd be obvious, but people keep dying while politicians keep making excuses.



And finally...

The Controversy Most Likely to Ruin Friendships Forever Award: The Dress

Within a week of its inception, this low quality, badly lit photo, quite literally destroyed the internet. 10 million tweeted, celebrities feuded, neuroscientists commented. For days you could walk into any crowded room and yell "What color is that dress?" and be guaranteed a chorus of responses, followed by arguing, and then screaming, and then everyone would just fall into a state of silent existential crisis.

All over one question: #blackandblue or #whiteandgold?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

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.

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.
