Why Do College Educated Adults Support Trump?
Donald Trump Inside Gov

I am a young, college educated woman, and I supported Trump. Does that shock you? Well compared to the media's statistics, it should. As of January 20th, 2017, Donald Trump is our 45th President of the United States. To all of you who thought it would not happen, reality check, it did. Yes, he said some vulgar things, but just like you chose to support Hillary after Benghazi and her emails, we chose to support Trump after his words. Actions speak louder than words, and Hillary's spoke volume's in a negative fashion.

Why do college women support Trump? Most of us who go to college are doing it for ourselves because we believe we can make a difference in the world. Trump himself stated in his inaugural address, "the power goes back to the people." We finally have a chance to make a difference, since we have a president who is not our standard politician.

He is not trained in pleasing the media, as we saw throughout his entire campaign; he owned up to the vulgar things he said, and just because I still support him after his 'locker room' talk, does not mean I support rape. Comparingly, I could say you support our troops being ambushed and killed because you supported Clinton, but I do not believe that is so. Oh and do not get me started on these protests. Yes, it is your right to peacefully protest as long as you are not disrupting traffic or damaging your own cities; that is breaking the law.

Some of us may not have agreed with President Obama's inauguration, however, we did not protest and rally; we went to work and continued about our business. Trump does not actually support rape and racism, the media is constantly feeding you bullshit because it sells headlines. You do not like Trump? You may want to get over it and hope that he decides to make a difference these next four years. Here is a big shout out to the young men and women who are educated enough to have an opinion, and to those who go against the grain, sticking to what they believe in.

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.
