A Cheat Sheet To The Republican Party

Who is the fairest of them all?

A Cheat Sheet To The Republican Party

1. Donald Trump isn't afraid to say anything.

He has slammed fellow GOP candidates, minorities, and women all within a few months. I don't know about you, but I don't want a president that says everything that comes into his mind to pop right out of his mouth. That could cause too many stir-ups and could result in having our allies turn against us. He's not even president yet, and he's already pissed people off. You really like Trump or you don't. Either way, he is here to stay.

2. Ben Carson is gaining more and more popularity.

Like Trump, he's another Republican candidate who is not originally a politician. He's one of the best neurosurgeons in the United States. Carson was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins at the head. His open stance on religion, his medical credibility, and his beliefs on our education are superb. Although he seemed to come from nowhere; he is taking the polls by storm. Even with no political background, Carson will be just fine. He's an insanely smart man, so be on the lookout for him.

3. Fiorina is feisty.

Trump seemingly mocked Fiorina's looks in a recent Rolling Stone magazine interview, saying: "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?" Fiorina shot back: "I am proud of every year and every wrinkle." I'm glad someone isn't afraid to put Trump back into his place and expose him on national television. During both Republican debates, she got an overwhelming amount of applause for some of her comments regarding Trump and Planned Parenthood. Keep an eye on the oh-so-feisty one.

4. Bush is trying to be like the cool kids.

Trying to up his game and votes (or maybe just Trump's antics), Jeb Bush has been branching out from his usual secluded self. He was foreseen to be the leading Republican candidate for this election because of his legacy brethren. Now with Trump stealing the spotlight, Jeb has to really be more assertive and outspoken to be heard over Trump's loud mouth. He plays it very safe, and his family is no stranger to politics or running this country. Bush has a chance; maybe nice guys finish first?

The other Republicans have been fairly quiet and have been playing it rather safe. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the candidates in the upcoming months.

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.
