Donald J. Trump,

Congratulations Donald. You are officially the 45th President of the United States of America. Despite using your platform to divide the nation that you are now a representative of, somehow you’ve managed to acquire the most coveted and significant position in our country. Now that you’ve taken the oath of office and the torch has officially been passed on to you, you have the duty to uphold the oath you made to the Constitution that you have sworn to protect. Unfortunately, the promises, language and lies you’ve used on your campaign trail to tug at the strings of a desperate and divided United States suggest that the document that is deemed the law of the land means nothing to you (and I often question whether you’ve studied it at all).

It may seem like you have won and that your agenda of regression for the United States will imminently go forth unhindered, but this is the opposite of the truth. The people: those who care deeply about this country and all of its denizens no matter their race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, gender or documentation status, will vehemently oppose any legislation that threatens or attacks the human rights of people in this country and around the world. If sed threats to our freedoms occur, expect reactions, expect protests, and expect opposition.

Additionally, we call on the press to continue their active pursuit of your truth; to shed light on the wrongdoings of your past, present, and future. You may have had journalists wrapped around your fingers during the primaries and the election, however, you are the one they have their eyes and ears on for the next four years. Every move you make will be met with intense scrutiny. Any attempts to silence the press and restrict their coverage of the actions of your administration will also be rebuked. Journalists serve an important purpose to this country as informants and the revealers of truth. To oppose their noble duty would be counterproductive to your self-professed agenda of freedom.

And finally regarding the state of our planet: The facts are in Mr. Trump. The average temperature of the planet is increasing dramatically according to 97% of the climate scientists who have dedicated their lives to uncovering, studying and examining this inconvenient truth. It is without a doubt not a Chinese Hoax, but a real issues that threatens the continuity of current and future ecosystems as well as the human race itself. You may feel compelled to believe in the convenient lie that we are not at fault for the planet’s changing climate while rich fossil fuel investors line your pockets, but you cannot eat, drink or breathe money. The moment we notice your fight crosses the line from for the people to for the rich and powerful, we will act accordingly.

Money and deceit combined with your new position can be remarkably powerful, but the will of the people of this country is stronger. Be prepared, because we are fired up and ready to go.

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.
