Democrats Demolish Doubters
Time

With presidential nominations finally coming in, the November election is getting closer and closer. The Republican National Convention was held from July 18-21 in Cleveland, Ohio and Donald Trump became their nominee. Hillary Clinton was named the Democrats' choice for president at their convention held in Philadelphia. There were major moments at both, but with speakers like Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Michelle Obama and many other important figures from the Democratic party, the DNC was much more buzzworthy.

Although Sanders did not receive the nomination, many of his delegates and supporters at the Democratic National Convention still protested on his behalf. With recent allegations that the leaders of the DNC and the party itself showed favoritism toward Clinton, some think that said favoritism lead to Clinton getting the nomination.

Clinton has the backing of the two men holding the highest positions in the free world. Barack Obama and Joe Biden both made speeches supporting Hillary as the next president. President Obama showed his support by saying, “This year, in this election, I’m asking you to join me — to reject cynicism, reject fear, to summon what’s best for us; to elect Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States, and show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation.” Joe Biden also showed his support by saying Hillary is the best option America has for President.

Furthermore, both of those men and many of the other speakers showed their distaste for the Republican candidate, Donald Trump. With his idea to build a wall between a wall between the United States and Mexico and his public trashing of his fellow candidates on Twitter, he seems very unprepared to be the next leader of the free world. The Democrats should stay in power.

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.
