Three Alternatives To Witnessing A Trump Presidency
Google

Over the past couple of years, multiple celebrities have announced they were running for presidency. Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West and Waka Flocka Flame are some honorable mentions in this case, but at least there was a good amount of memes to keep us entertained as result. When Donald Trump announced his plan for campaigning, most of us probably thought it was a joke, because he has announced the same plan for over a decade but ultimately never followed through with it. Now, things are getting more serious. As we get closer to November for the final countdown, Donald Trump is one of the most popular candidates. Now the outcome is unknown.

Pack up everything and hightail it to Canada.

Apparently, there's an island in Canada that is prepared to bring in potential refugees fleeing a country under Trump. If you think this may work for you, Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia is awaiting your stay. It has everything you and your family may need, including schools, its own university and very picturesque scenery far away from a toupee and crushed Cheetos dust tan. Think of it like buying a timeshare, but probably living there forever. Also, isn't it a little ironic that there's a refugee crisis in America, and some Americans may consider becoming one voluntarily?

Fling yourself into space.

It's not like anyone else is using it. NASA shut down the Space Program a few years back, so this may be a little expensive for you unless you've been racking in at least six figures a year. If worse comes to worst, I'm sure someone will try to rig up a human-sized slingshot with some rubber bands tied together. That good ol' American ingenuity that this country is founded on will help you out. Go volunteer yourself as tribute and maybe we'll try it after you do.

Go vote.

Quite honestly, regardless of who you vote for, voting itself is important. People have told me personally that they aren't voting because they don't want to side with one candidate, or because they just don't think anyone is worth the vote. Every vote matters. Also this is the option that requires the least amount of effort, so if your first instinct was to go for either of the other two options, save yourself the trouble and just drive to the ballot.

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.
