Why I Am Glad We Now Have President Donald J. Trump

Most of the country might be angry, but I'm not at all.

I am a nineteen-year-old female and I am glad Donald Trump is our president. Yes, I voted for him while all my other friends posted things on social media bashing him in every possible way. Do I agree with all the things he said during his campaign? No. But there are plenty of other reasons that make me glad he is now President Donald J. Trump.

1. Defund Planned Parenthood.

I am pro-life and defunding Planned Parenthood is an issue I am very passionate about. Videos have been released showing they are in fact corrupt and not at all for women. They do not offer mammograms and they get most of their profit comes from abortions. Their unjust ideas go all the way back to their founder, Marget Sanger. 100 years is too long for them to be open and it is the time that all of their doors close.

2. Replace Obama Care.

Obama's health care plan was a mess. Trump is planning on replacing it with Health Savings Accounts. This lets states control Medicaid and will help the 4,000 drugs awaiting FDA approval move faster.

3. Rebuild the military.

With the amount of terrorism in our world, our army can get all the help it can it. As someone who has veterans (thank you to all of them) in their family, I fully support our servicemen and women. It will protect the citizens of the United States.

4. End the Offshoring Act.

For those who don't know, this act allows companies to lay off their employees so that they can relocate. If Trump ends it, more jobs will come back to American citizens.

5. Find a replacement for Justice Scalia.

Due to the fact President Trump is Republican, he will choose a justice who shares his same views. This will be a win for those of use who are trying so hard to protect the rights of the unborn.

6. Limit the term length of members of Congress.

Let's be honest, those members are in there for a long time. It will help get new faces and new views into it.

Now is the time to accept the fact that he is president. No amount of rioting, posting negative posts on social media, or saying "He is not my president!" is going to change that. If you are a citizen of the United States of America, he is your president. If you are uncomfortable with that, then maybe too many people in this country have been stuck in their comfort zones. This country needs someone who is going to speak out regardless if it makes a person uncomfortable. It is about time someone like President Trump takes office. Here's to the next four years.

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.
