Another President, Another Inauguration.

Another President, Another Inauguration.
abc

In the light of recent events, it is impossible to shy away from January 20th's controversial transfer of power to America’s 45th President: Donald Trump. His domination has undoubtedly sparked immense conflict between Americans. To some, he is a symbol of hope in the ever crumbling structure of America’s foundation. To others he is represents the worst President in American history. Nevertheless, Donald Trump is our President and Americans can do nothing more then judge his decisions and hope that he keeps the interests of all Americans to heart.

Amidst Trump’s Inauguration, the seeds of rebellion spread through his opponents. There have been riots throughout the country with the most predominant one being in Washington D.C. There have been reported that a limo was set ablaze, store windows were smashed and nearly 200 people were arrested. This type of “protest” will accomplish nothing and ultimately hurts America as a whole. However, the controversy surrounding the Inauguration doesn’t stop at riots, the Twitter for the National Parks Service retweeted an image comparing the crowds between Obama’s 2009 Inauguration and Trump’s 2017 Inauguration. This unprofessional retweet ultimately resulted in all Department of Interior Bureaus “to immediately cease use of government Twitter accounts until further notice.”


Trump is America’s 45th President. There is no denying this fact. However, Trump will eventually be out of office in 4 to 8 years. During these 4 to 8 years, the Sun will continue to rise and set and we can do nothing more then continue to live our lives and hope that Trump truly does “Make America Great Again” regardless of his beliefs or questionable past.

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.
