Donald Trump Is The Next President. Get Over It.

11/9. AKA the day Donald Trump officially became president-elect. Obviously, there are people who are thrilled that Donald Trump is president because they believe he is the best candidate to help America flourish. On the opposite side of the spectrum, you have Clinton supporters who are completely flabbergasted and amazed that such a "horrible," "racist," and "unqualified," candidate is now in charge of running our country.

Regardless of who I voted for and who you voted for, Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. We can complain about it, cry about it, move out of the country and sit and sulk about what has happened, or we can move on. In reality, who is going to benefit from your constant negativity on social media and in your everyday life? It's going to affect you, your friends, and your family. Nothing can change the fact that Donald Trump is the new President of the United States.

However, if you are one of the many Clinton supporters who voted for Hillary in this election, I urge you to please consider other's feelings. Not every person who voted for Donald Trump is racist, sexist, homophobic or bigoted. Many liberals are upset because of the election and have resorted to calling Trump supporters these horrible, condemning names. Not everyone who voted for Trump supports every single thing he has said and done, and the same thing goes for Hillary Clinton.

Have you ever thought that people weren't necessarily Trump supporters but simply didn't want a corrupt politician as Hillary Clinton leading this country?

This presidential election, for a lot of people, was simply voting for the lesser of two evils. Of course, there were hardcore Trump supporters and dedicated Clinton supporters, but for a lot of people, they were torn and they felt Trump was the lesser of two evils.

This was my first presidential election I was ever able to vote in and the candidate I voted for did win. However, I have been condemned and judged because of who I voted for by friends and family and that simply isn't right. The things liberals have been saying to Trump supporters are just downright hateful and mean. I've never seen such hate in the world and it saddens me to see my close family and friends acting in such spiteful ways.

Today, Donald Trump officially became the president of the United States. You can be mad, happy or sad about this but it doesn't give you the right to judge others for what they believe it. We all believe in different things but no one has the right to condemn another person because of their beliefs.

Donald Trump will be the new President of the United States. Get over it.

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.
