The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

Even though the Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday night with the theme United Together, the Democratic party is anything but united. It would be a step in the right direction if the unifying rhetoric could be backed with action, which has not been the case the in the last eight years despite what any speaker at the DNC said. While watching the Democratic National Convention I couldn't help but think about different witty "Office" moments that too accurately described how I felt.

1. The Democratic National Convention began with the resignation of their national committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, after 19,000 of the committee’s e-mails were published by WikiLeaks.

2. You are probably wondering how Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Hillary Clinton have gotten away with their email scandals but remember that they are above the law.

3. I can only imagine how upset the "Feel The Bern Revolution" must be after Bernie Sanders sells out and tells his base to vote for Hillary.


4. When Bernie Sanders delegates and supporters leave the Convention floor early.

5. When Tim Kaine officially accepts the nomination for Vice President with the most boring speech.

6. And then you hear him attack Donald J. Trump and the Republican Platform.


7. It wasn't long before Bill Clinton attempted to steal the show with the story of how he met Hillary.


8. When just about every DNC speech mentions the angry rhetoric at the RNC.

9. When the Governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, says that Trump is a bad man because he made small businesses pay their bills when they couldn't afford it.

10. When you see groups like Turning Point USA protesting with signs that say Big Government Sucks!

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.
