Americans Request An Extension To "Think About What [They've] Done"

"We honestly just wish there was another option."

Well, Bernie fans, it's over. Hillary Clinton officially has the number of delegates she needs to get the democratic presidential nomination. So now, in the battle between Trump and Clinton, many Americans have requested more time to "think about what [they've] done."

Some people consider this election to be karma for all the mistakes the nation has made in the past. "We understand that this is our fault," one voter explains. "We're the ones who got them this far in the running, and now we're facing the consequences."

Several other Americans have agreed that we as a country could really use some more time to think. Vote for Hillary? Vote for Trump? Vote for no one at all? Each option seems sadder than the one before.

"We honestly just wish there was another option," the same voter lamented. "You know, someone who wasn't really associated with either party."

"How about an independent party candidate?"

"A what?"

It is clear that the nation is running out of options. The majority of each major political party seems to hate their respective candidate. And there does not seem to be a word in the English language to describe the disdain that each party has for the candidate in the opposite party.

"All we can really do at this point is cry a little and hope we learn from our mistakes. We need to keep people who will be bad for our country out of the running for president, no matter how must their racist and sexist behavior appeals to us for some reason."

So it is a good idea to vote for your favorite candidate, whomever that may be. Even if you're not necessarily a fan of either nominee, there's got to be one that you'd want to be running the country just a little bit less. Vote for that one. Vote for the one that won't destroy life as we know it. If you don't vote at all, that'll just make it more likely that the person you don't want in office will be elected.

However, if Trump is your favorite candidate, I beg you to take just a little more time to think. Just a thought.

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.
