Finishing The Year Strong

Hillary losing was the highlight of the year

Finishing The Year Strong

2016 is coming to an end and boy oh boy has it been a wild year. It did not get that crazy till the end of the year. There has been many exciting and not so exciting moments that have occurred throughout, so to end on a good note let us reflect on some of the positives.

Hillary Lost

I am not a Trump supporter, but watching Hillary Clinton lose in such a way was glorious. On November 8th, observing Hillary continue to lose state after state put the biggest smile on my face and the warmest joy in my heart. To be fair, I will critique Trump when I need to and give credit where credit is due.

CUBS WIN!!!

The Chicago Cubs won the World Series! The Cubs rallied back against the Cleveland Indians to win game seven of the 2016 World Series, ending a 107 year drought. I am a Yankee fan, but this was exciting for me. Baseball is the greatest sport out there and to see it played in such a way was incredible. A historical event for sure.

Hillary Lost

Yes I am going to mention it again, because it was just that amazing. Losing in 2008 in the primaries and then again this year just puts a smile on your face.

RIO 2016

The Olympics this year was entertaining despite being in a poorly ran country and once again the good ole U.S. of A. showcased their dominance by winning the most medals. Winning is one of America's favorite hobbies.

Jill Stein embarrassed herself...again

The democrats are not able to accept the fact that Hillary was an awful candidate. She lost due to her own personal character alongside with how the left tends to treat others that disagree with them (the group that preaches tolerance is actually incredibly intolerant). So Jill stein, leader of the anti-science Green Party, lead a recount effort in hopes that there was voter fraud and that Hillary actually won. Well, turns out Trump actually gained slightly more votes than what was previously counted. Fantastic.

The Democrats Lost

Not only did Hillary lose but the democrats lost. Republicans now control the house and senate. More governors are now republican and the democrats lost control of many state legislatures. It is a great time to be american. We are set to get back on the right track and undo all of Obama's terrible legacy.

Hillary Lost

December 19th is the day in which the electors cast their votes for who they believe should be the next president. Turns out Hillary had more faithless electors than any presidential nominee in the last 100 years. She made history!

Overall I would have to say that 2016 turned out to be a pretty decent year. There were many ups and downs along the way but there was a strong finish. With all that has happened this year, I am excited about what 2017 will hold. God Bless America!

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.

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.
