Many of us would like to think that Donald Trump's run for presidency is actually a joke and just a media hoax. He's offensive, politically incorrect, rude, and has bad hair. Shockingly enough though, he has a following. He has supporters and fans; people that actually want to see him in the Oval Office and they're not just the upper class. Here are five reasons why the Trump's personal "brand" could be helping him acquire new real estate at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

1. He's the boss and he makes sure you KNOW it. Whether you look back on his days of firing people on national TV networks, or you're just trying to wrap your head around his MASSIVE ego.

2. Although we might not want to admit it, Donald Trump is a winner and there's no doubt about it. He is worth 4 billion dollars, he's a real estate developer, chairman, and president of his own organization, an author, entertainment personality, and he's pretty much good at all of it.


3. He's fearless. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He speaks his mind and is completely and utterly unapologetic about anything horrible he has to say. He's pretty much untouchable, no one can hurt him. He's almost like a real-life Frank Underwood.


4. He has been let go by major retailer, Macy's, and major TV network, NBC, but the American people have yet to let the Trump phenomenon fade. He's currently leading the poles. Some believe it's his star power or his unlimited funds that are keeping him ahead of the other GOP candidates, but whatever it is, clearly it's working for now.

5. He's a businessman and people actually trust him and believe in him, unlike many other politicians. He knows how to handle money and he is banking on the possibility of straightening out the US's debt with his skills in finance.


All-in-all, he might be crazy, but he sure does make some valid points. He cannot be compared to any other politician we have ever seen before, he truly is making history. Heck, maybe in 10 years, we will be reading about this phenomenon in a text book.

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.
