I AM A PROUD HISPANIC MILLENNIAL FEMALE THAT IS A SUPPORTER OF THE GOP!

I think that Republicans get a bad reputation. Obviously, Trump tweeting every five seconds doesn't help our case (no offense t-man). The media portrays us to be monsters and greedy capitalists. Other than that being wrong in so many ways, there are things that Republicans fight for because we know it has worked in the past and we don't want to see the United States collapse from socialism or communism.

Here is a list of reasons why I choose to be a Republican in the world full of Democrats

1. I am a born and raised Catholic

I am proud that I am part of a religion that believes that every child in the eyes of God can do bigger and better things in the world.

2. No, my parents didn't force me

There is a big misconception about Republicans. A lot of people believe that millennials are Republican because their parents only showed them the Republican viewpoints. In reality, yes my parents did raise me in Republican values but they also did let me experiment with the Democrat party. I was once a Democrat (all of my Republican friends can shame me for five seconds). I did believe that everything was wrong because it felt wrong. It wasn't until I was in high school that I found out that I was truly a Republican, that facts don't care about your feelings.

3. I believe in facts not feelings


Do I really have to explain this?

4. We had Ronald Reagan


This beautiful man turned out to become one of the most productive presidents America has ever had. He helped end the Cold War, cut tax rates in America, decreased unemployment and inflation and fought against the war on drugs. He treated his wife Nancy like she was the Queen of the Universe. #goals.

He is the true definition of the "All-American Boy".

5. I believe in smaller government

If you want more information look up Ron Swanson government quotes on google.

6. I believe in traditional ways

Two political parties. Babies form at conception. Two genders, etc.

7. Not all Republicans are old white men...

I had the pleasure to actually meet three of the women to the right at a conference. Being able to see that more culture and women are joining the Republican party is a beautiful thing! We need to stop the stereotype that the Republican party is only old white men.

8. I love the 2nd Amendment

Pretty self-explanatory.


I love my party and I love the U.S.A.

God Bless y'all.

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.
