Campaign Merchandise Superlatives

Everyone knows how important this upcoming general election is. This election decides if we go down the toilet or get thrown in the dumpster as a nation. There is really no good choice (in my humble opinion). Even though we know that there are no great choices left the candidates are doing everything they can to convince you otherwise. One way they do this is through their online stores. Because not only do they want your vote, but they also want you to let everyone at school or work know too, and get you into endless political argument with the guy on campus who believes that Ted Cruz is the messiah or the girl who only likes Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. Now in my research to see which candidate I will be voting for in November, I saw some interesting, or not so interesting things in their stores. I think it says a lot about the candidates too.

With that being said I have given out some awards and superlatives to the best and worst items I have seen.

1. Least Likely to be Purchased

I don't even know why they have this shirt on the store. If there are any Democrats in Alabama they are Bernie supporters.

2. Best Jab at Trump

Very fitting for the billionaire baby....

3. Bernie's Most Clever Item

I see what you did there Mr Sanders, but I'm "totes" not voting for you.

4. Ugliest Christmas Sweater

Looks like his administration would if he won. It could be uglier though...

5. Zero Cares Given

The guy is a billionaire! You would think the guy could spend some money on marketing.

Bernie was a close second...

6. The "We Get It, You're a Conservative" Award

You can't really get anywhere with that driving philosophy...

7. Overly Inclusive

I think she forgot babies, criminals, and mermaids.

8. Least Likely to Be On a Future Economist

I mean the baby could be a psychology major like me.

9. Trump's Flashy Shirt

Astounding.

9. Most likely to be a purchase for your dad's Mid-Life Crisis

10. Most likely to be a Myth

Like Bigfoot and unicorns, John Kasich shirts exist only in internet pictures and on television.

11. Honorable Mentions

If only they had stayed...

I couldn't possibly fit all their shirts, foam fingers, and throw pillows (yes I said throw pillows) in this article. I don't know who your favorite candidate is, but maybe this article helped inspire you to buy a T-shirt you will only wear once.

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.
