Election 2016 As Told by "Portlandia" GIFs
rollingstone.com

We are officially into Election 2016. We've had the whirlwind of the Iowa caucuses, the entertaining Republican debates, the boring Democratic debates, the countless Trump memes, the "SNL" skits, and the constant shade every candidate has been throwing at another. Now I enjoy this craziness, it's like a reality show that you get to engage in, but sometimes it just gets too insane for me to take seriously anymore. Another thing that I enjoy, but can't take seriously, is "Portlandia." Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are back at it with their sixth season and, like Election 2016, I am living for it. So I decided to mash them together and describe the feelings I've had thus far for Election 2016 using Portlandia GIFs. Enjoy!

1. When Bernie Sanders starts talking about the crazy debt college students have.

2. When Hillary Clinton said, "May the force be with you," at the end of the debate.

3. When John Kasich talks with his hands the whole time.

4. When I watched the Republican debate.

5. When I watched the Democratic debate and there was no fighting.

6. When I talk to an uniformed citizen.

7. Whenever Trump said something sexist, racist, or really when he said anything.

8. When Ben Carson would talk at a debate.

9. When Hillary Clinton tries to be down with the millennials on social media.

10. Whenever Martin O'Malley had to go up against Sanders and Clinton.

11. When I realized Trump's candidacy wasn't a joke anymore.

12. When Sarah Palin gave her endorsement to Trump.

13. When someone tries to explain Iowa caucuses.

14. When I saw that Bernie lost Iowa.

15. When Trump was a sore loser in Iowa and demanded a recount.

16. When I'm already over it and we haven't even gotten into the thick of things.

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.
