Turning 18 doesn’t seem all that exciting at first, but then suddenly the presidential election begins and you are introduced to your first real task that comes with "adulting", voting. For many college students like myself this year’s presidential election will be our first time to have a voice in this system we call a government. At first this task seemed exciting and thrilling, but suddenly as the campaigns began and the debates continued, this task became more of a scare than a thrill. How are we supposed to choose a candidate when we don’t feel like there are any good options to begin with? How are we supposed to choose from the best of the worst? This is our first time to have a voice, but with this most of us feel like there is no one worth speaking for. Eventually we will have to settle for a candidate whom we feel will do this extremely significant job in the least destructive way, but for now we are left in a sea of confusion and chaos, similar to the facial expressions made by none other than Hannah Montana.

1. How quickly our excitement turned to disappointment when we saw this election's frontrunners.

2. Our reaction when we found out Trump was serious about running for president this time.

3. How us girls feel when people tell us we should vote for Hillary solely because we are women.

4. When we didn't know whether to be excited or terrified over the fact that Bernie is wanting to rid college tuition.

5. How we are still convinced that Trump's hair is a wig.

6. Republicans each time they read that yet another candidate had dropped out of the race.

7. When someone tells you that their only reasoning behind their views is because it's what their parents are not.

8. When you actually learn that most promises made during a campaign won't happen.

9. When any candidate actually says something remotely intelligent in a debate.

10. When your friends try to start a political discussion.

11. When you just can't with the pressure of this election anymore.

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.
