Hillary? Trump? Jesus√

Go vote. If you are between the ages of 18 and death, I think you should be out (Okay, not out out for the older folks... Do a mail in ballot unless you are physically able to go) voting in the Presidential Election of 2016.

Why? Because it is a freedom that many countries do not get to enjoy and an election that holds a huge impact on you, your kids, your kids' kids, and so on.

I am in no way saying that I agree with the presidential candidates. Neither one of them would be an ideal choice, but I also know that one of them has views that more closely reflect my own. And I know that whoever wins this election has a huge possibility of choosing several judges for the Supreme Court. Once you're a Supreme Court judge, you stay in for life. These judges will be instrumental in setting laws in the future. What kind of laws do you want in place?

This election has been crazy with numerous scandals and the media has had a field day. But I think we need to put that aside and just realize that neither of the candidates are living the best life. This country needs Jesus.

But nevertheless, someone is going to win the election.

Think of your top 5 issues and determine your stance, put aside the candidates' personal lives, and just research on their websites what they believe on these issues. Pick the candidate who's views reflect yours the closest, and go vote for them.

I'm voting for the unborn children who never got a voice. I'm voting for our forefather's who paid the price with their blood for religious freedom. I'm voting for the victims of Bengazi. I'm voting so that 'In God We Trust' will still remain a motto upheld by the country. I'm voting for my future children.

Most importantly I encourage everyone to pray. Neither one of the candidates can save our country. But God can.

We need to be praying for our leaders, whether it's your city mayor or the President of the United States.

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.
