The FBI is reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server that she used while serving as secretary of state.

Wait, Give me some background.

The Clinton Foundation is a non-profit that was founded by the Clinton’s almost 20 years ago. The goal was to tackle small global issues like HIV/AIDS and gender equality. Problem is the Clintons have gotten a lot of side-eye for seeming to get too cozy with the foundation’s donors. Earlier this year, emails came out that showed donors asking Hillary for favors when she was Sec. of State. (Think getting visas, and personal meetings. Not good).

Okay, so what happened to bring this back up?

WikiLeaks released a memo from 2011 that showed that for years, Bill Clinton’s aide had pressured Clinton Foundation donors into hiring Bill for things like speaking events; even while Hillary was Secretary of State. Great for Bill’s wallet, not great for Hillary’s reputation with voters, who are still working through a lot of trust issues with her and the potential First Gentleman.

Where did the emails come from?

Unclear. However, U.S. officials say they’re pretty, pretty, pretty sure they have the Russian gov’s fingerprints all over them. This comes after the Democratic party was hacked earlier this year by groups thought to have ties to the Russian gov. Team Clinton says Russia’s doing this to give a leg up to GOP nominee Donald Trump, who’s given propsto Russian President Putin in the past. Trump says ‘not the case.’

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.
