I Am Begging You To Vote For Hillary

Don't sit home this November.

I Am Begging You To Vote For Hillary

Obviously this election has not been everyone's favorite. We are faced with two highly disliked candidates, and it can be a tough choice what to do this November. If you are a Trump supporter, and don't plan on changing that at all - this message is not really for you. Anybody else, please listen.

You need to vote for Hillary.

You simply cannot equate the negatives associated with Donald Trump with the negatives of Hillary Clinton. That is a losing battle. More importantly, you cannot equate the two candidates.

Once you start defending Donald Trump on the insane things has has done throughout his life, there is no going back.

You're mad about Hillary's emails? There were several hearings, an FBI investigation, a DOJ investigation and a State Department investigation, all concluding while she shouldn't have done that, there were no laws broken.

Yet bringing it up every single day seems to be the same as a new Donald Trump controversy every few days to Republicans and Trump supporters.

Yes, Hillary has her faults. They are very obvious and I acknowledge that. But this is much more than a personality contest. This is the future.

I understand why you might not like your two choices. Maybe you want to vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein. I ask that you do not.

A vote for a third party brings Trump closer to the presidency with every vote. Let's be honest, although Gary Johnson has done well in this election it is not nearly enough to gain 270 electoral votes. So every state that he wins is one less for Hillary.

This is not the time for a protest vote. This is the time for a strong candidate who can be an effective leader.

Furthermore, do not sit some on November 8. You need to go out and vote.

Hillary means more healthcare for more people, and less tax cuts for the wealthy. It means students can begin to live their life after college instead of being crippled by debt. It means more investments at home and in the foundation of the country. It means a Supreme Court that is progressive and believes that a changing culture should be represented in the government and laws of that culture.

I understand why a lot of people don't like Hillary Clinton, as I did not for along time as well. But I realize what the bigger issue is here. Donald Trump puts an enormous threat to the progress this country has made.

Go vote on November 8. Do not vote for Gary Johnson, Jill Stein or especially Donald Trump. Do not sit home.

Vote for Hillary Clinton.

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.
