How I Feel About The Election

An unbiased statement for voters come November.

How I Feel About The Election
tune.com

Let me start off by saying that I support everyone who is going out and voting this November. Your voice counts completely. But here's how I really feel about the election. I actually feel like it's a big media stunt and that in the end, America will be screwed over. Whether you decide to vote for Trump or Clinton, America will be affected in multiple ways. The presidential race is about bringing everyone together, not separating the different parties. The parties have always been feuding ever since the Whigs (Republicans) and Democrats were made. I never realized how it affected generations that come in every decade. Of course, you would have never thought that Donald Trump would run for president or that Hillary Clinton would be exposed for things that she did a long time ago, but you have to be open-minded about the entire campaign because whether they are good or bad, they only want what's best for people. Honestly, they aren't the greatest people who should be running, but others have dropped out, so you have no choice.

I don't support Trump's idea of building a wall, I don't support Clinton's views on taxes, but I do know that if you know the tricks of the race, you'll probably get what you want and that's the right person to get into the White House. Not voting will only put America on the chopping block and listening to the media will also affect America. I don't know what is happening because I don't listen to the media. The media has a reputation of twisting the words around so that the presidential candidates are made out to be bad. I'm not saying that Trump is a bad man or that Clinton was a liar, hypocrite or whatever else they were saying, but we need to look at the good side. I just feel like this election would be something that would either make or break America. Is Trump my candidate of choice? No. Is Clinton? Nope. I support Bernie, but it may seem like that he won't make it, but if he runs independent or maybe support Jill Stein, I will.

So this election is basically a big media stunt because you have two candidates who are constantly fighting on Twitter or going back and forth whenever they see each other. What does that say about citizens who can sit back and watch that? Regardless of who you choose, that's your choice and I'm not here to try to shove my lack of political views down your throat, but before you vote in November, make sure that you vote for the right person so that America can at least have a little headway for generations to come.

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.
