But... Her Emails (And Why Trump Is The Lesser Of Two Evils)

Sure, President Trump might have his “quirks.” But as the great American singer Hannah Montana once said: Nobody’s perfect.

As you may know, it’s been a tumultuous week in American politics. In these difficult days, I think it’s important that we take a look back and reflect. Mainly on how Hillary wasn’t an ideal candidate either, okay?

Not to beat a dead horse, but how about those emails? Talk about the scandal of the century. I mean, can you imagine if any member of the White House used private email servers to handle government information?

That just opens our country up to so much risk from hacking. What Hillary did was unsecure, and we should count ourselves lucky that we have a White House administration that understands “The Cyber”, and knows how to prevent from getting hacked in the future.

Sure…maybe Hillary shouldn’t have been labeled a criminal so quickly, but what if any classified information had gotten out? If top-secret intel on, say, ISIS had somehow gotten into the hands of a foreign power with goals that run counter to the U.S., why she’d practically be a traitor!

But even besides the emails, there were plenty of other reasons why she was the worse of two evils. She was so obviously friends with Wall Street, where at least we know Trump is tough on those big bankers.

Finally, I hate to pull this card, but we have to face the facts. Hillary would have been way too emotional to make important decisions. It’s just science. She’d probably see some atrocities in Syria and decide to launch missiles or something.

So sure, President Trump might have his “quirks.” But as the great American singer Hannah Montana once said: Nobody’s perfect. And we should especially focus on Hillary Clinton’s imperfections to help us get through these chaotic times.

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.
