Bernie Sanders has my vote in this election.

Bernie Sanders has the most progressive platform of the Democratic Candidates and I think that's what we need.

Bernie Sanders has my vote in this election.

I know many people think Bernie Sanders is way too out there with his stances and many are against him running for being too radical and could lose votes because of this. I think he is what we need as a country right now.

America is severely divided right now but everyone can agree that the country is metaphorically on fire. Debt is overwhelming and the justice system is systematically unjust. Everyone knows that we need to fix ourselves but no one knows how. Bernie does.

A self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, Bernie wants to completely revolutionize the way the United States works. Tax the rich and eliminate student debt. Create a medicare for all plan to provide better care and no healthcare debt for Americans. Change the way people of color are systematically disadvantaged by the justice system and many more ways for us as a nation to become a truly modern society.

Bernie is feared for being too radical and his ideas being too socialist but why should we be afraid of a democratic socialist government if it is what could be what saves us from ourselves. Other countries have proven that having socialist ideas involved in their politics is going well. A notable country is Finland, they have free universities, public healthcare and are one of the happiest countries in the world.

This is just my belief and whoever you chose to vote for I just hope it is for the betterment of the country because we need all the help we can get.

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.
