I previously wrote an article about how much publicity Donald Trump was getting during the elections. Well this past Tuesday Novemeber 8, the entire nation witnessed the moment in which a businessman with no political background became the 45th president.

It was something a lot of people did not see coming mainly because why could we trust someone with little political background to lead the country specially when it came to handling conflicts with other countries and other types of negotiations.

Now the important questions are what is he going to do to improve the country? If we think about all the things he promised, what is he going to truly accomplish? No matter if you voted for him or not, now we have to think about all the things that he could do in the next four years and how it will impact the country.

Yes, it’s true that during the campaign we were all annoyed by how much publicity Trump received, but at the same time it is understandable when he is the first candidate who comes with a different background. This makes me wonder why doesn’t the government change the policy of who can become president after the age of 35. I personally believe that you should have at least some political knowledge in order to run and it would be better if the candidate is a politician.

There can be some opposite arguments in which anyone should run for office no matter what political background they have. That is true anyone who has great values for the country should run, but at the same time that person should be prepared to be in charge of the nation and the complications it involves. Being president should not be taken lightly specially because they have the power to better or worsen the country.

I have been avoiding social media as much as I can for the last couple of days because everyone is stating their opinions, but others are just attacking people. How can we become a better nation when there is hatred amongst us and there is hardly anything we can do. At this time it is best to avoid social media to avoid seeing comments that might affect me and others. There is no reason for fighting, everyone has different opinions and at this time we all have to unite in order to better the country.

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.
