We Can't Let Trump Win

A recent video reminds us that Trump is not a friend to women.

We Can't Let Trump Win
Gage Skidmore

The number of documented, inappropriate sexual interactions Donald Trump has had with women is overwhelming. The most recent example is a video that emerged on the internet from 2005. Earlier this month, the video of Donald Trump and Billy Bush's conversation on their ride to the Days of Our Lives set reemerged. The video is packed with a lot of vulgar and disrespectful statements regarding women. We hear Donald Trump say, "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." This, along with multiple other statements brought a lot of attention back to this old video. Because of this negative attention, Donald Trump put out a statement, stating that it was "locker-room banter, a private conversation..." This excuse of it being locker-room banter has led multiple athletes to come out with their own statements, disagreeing with this label. This video, documented from 2005, is not the first or the last of Donald Trump's offensive statements. Donald Trump continues to think of himself as an irresistible man and thinks that women should be grateful for the attention he decides to give them.

What else has Donald Trump said about women? A LOT. The list could go on with insults towards women as a whole and personal attacks. There are even numerous women that have come forward with accusations of Trump sexually assaulting them, including one accusation that has led to Donald Trump appearing at a hearing in December. In light of all of this, it continues to surprise me that Donald Trump has supporters, especially female supporters. While the video and other recent allegations have caused a lot of Trump supporters to abandon ship, there still are a handful of people that continue to support him. It will all come down to the election and depend on the number of votes that favor each side. This election doesn't have the strongest of candidates, no doubt, though to let someone as sexist as Trump be president would be a mistake. Remember, your vote counts.

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.
