Donald Trump's Win Is A Win For The Little Guy

As I write this, it is the night of November 10. Less than 48 hours after I found out the man I supported since last summer won the Presidency. This is a win for more than just Donald Trump and Mike Pence -- this is a win for the little guy.

I watched as state after state turned red. I watched as Donald Trump took Florida, which Mitt Romney lost in 2012. Then the entire Rust Belt turned red -- Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan all went for Trump.

After the election Donald Trump tweeted,

Regular working class Americans are fed up with the way the system has beat down and alienated them, and they made their voices heard at the polls. Coal miners and steel workers, who have traditionally voted Democrat, could not be swayed to follow Hillary Clinton.

This was more than just an election between two candidates. One one side stood the mainstream media, political corruption, elitism, and career politics. On the other stood hope and change, a political outsider, a fight for the average American.

Donald Trump became the voice for those who felt like they did not have one. Blue collar workers especially are the backbone of our nation, and they have increasingly been ignored by the Democratic Party.

This victory signifies hope and change for millions of Americans, and I, for one, and beyond happy and excited to watch President Trump, along with a Republican House and Senate and the American people, make America great again.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
