Canada: Taking In Americans Since The Election Of 2016

As an 18 year old, this election isn't my idea "first time voting" scenario. I will start off by warning my readers; i do not know the most about politics, but i still have my opinions. At this point i really am starting to believe that Canada is our only option.

Let me start off by giving you my opinion on Donald Trump. I do not agree with his beliefs, his mouth, or his treatment toward women, but c'mon guys... at least his name doesn't start with H and end in illiary. Also, people claim to hate the things he says but have they heard the music of today's time? DO NOT get me wrong, i do not think Mr. Trump should speak that way, especially considering he's running for office, but the things he says aren't necessarily unheard of in todays society.

Next we have Hillary Clinton. I do not have an ounce of anything in my body that would push me to vote for her. I am all for women empowerment, but when it comes to a women who acts the way she acts, i do not want any part of it. Who in their right mind deletes emails? I do not know what those emails consisted of, but if it is bad enough to delete them, there is no telling what secrets were imbedded in that computer screen.

Some people believe that if you're voting third part you are "throwing away your vote". I personally have two opinions on that matter.

1. I do not think we should completely knock out third party considering our other choices of candidates. If you're like me and don't want either Trump or Clinton, you've looked into all your other choices.

2. Do we really have that much say in who gets elected? Honestly. Yes our votes count and it is our right as American citizens to vote. BUT at the end of the day, there are certain high and mighty people who will get whoever they want in the office because they have that authority and $$$$$.

After it is all said and done, if we get a president who isn't doing his/her duty and things go south? I have a strange feeling that Canada will be getting a lot of new residents. They're so peaceful and polite..but they don't have the potential leaders that we do, so who could blame em, eh?

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.
