As of January 20th, 2016 Donald John Trump will take the oath and become the 45th President of the United States of American. At noon every news will be covering the inauguration; where government officials and dignitaries will gather at the West Front of the Capitol, where Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will administer the Oath to Office.

Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946. He has been married 3 times and has 5 kids. He left the school at age 13 and was enrolled in the New York Military Academy in Cornwall, New York, where he finished eighth grade and high school.

In 2003, Trump became the executive producer and host of the NBC reality show The Apprentice, in which a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump's commercial enterprises. Contestants were successively "fired" and eliminated from the game. In 2004, Trump filed a trademark application for the catchphrase "You're fired!" Trump earned $50,000 per episode, but following the show's initial success, he was paid $1 million per episode. The show had 14 seasons, NBC did sign for the 15th season but Trump said he was not ready because he wanted to concentrate on his Presidential campaign.


On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States at Trump Tower in New York City. In the speech, Trump drew attention to domestic issues such as illegal immigration, offshoring of American jobs, the U.S. national debt, and Islamic terrorism, which all remained large themes during the campaign. He also announced his campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again". Trump entered a large field of candidates against 16 other Republicans campaigning for the nomination, the largest presidential field in American history.Trump won the plurality of the vote and remained the front-runner throughout the primaries. By March 2016, Trump became poised to win the Republican nomination.On November 8, 2016, Trump won the presidency with 306 electoral votes to Clinton's 232 votes. Trump received a smaller share of the popular vote than Clinton, and he is the fifth person to become president without winning the popular vote.


I know that I can't turn back time and make it so that he's not a president. If anything I am still young and even if he wins a second term, it is only 8 years of my life. By that time I will be 29 years old, we will have someone new to vote for and to complain about and then in another 4-8 years we will repeat the cycle all over again.

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.
