7 Reasons Why You Probably Can’t Run For Public Office

In order to be an elected official your record has to be pretty much spotless. But you live life on the edge and if anyone got ahold of what you do in your private time, well then you are doomed. Here are some skeletons that are probably hiding in your closet that would ensure you to lose any election you run for.

1) Your texts

Texts only last for a limited amount of time until I delete my conversation…right? NO. And if you said something really stupid, chances are the other person saved it to mock you at a later time.

2) Pictures

It’s all fun and games until you see the pictures the next morning, or in this case 20 years later on the morning news shows.

3) Tweets

Twitter isn’t your diary and some things are better left not said in 140 characters.

4) Your family

We all have that one family member who would go off when they get interviewed on your run for public office and suddenly turn it into their run for public office (not to mention this family member is probably a Trump supporter).

5) Your crazy ex

He or she is probably going to make news headlines talking about that one time you lied about how you were suppose to show up at 5:00 but got there at 5:04 because of traffic. YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!

6) Your friends

When the public sees the people you hang around…uh-oh.

7) Law school is too much money

Lets face it, most politicians are lawyers and you barely have enough money for your undergrad education.

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.
