Because there's not enough political tension already
nevermelted.com

In liberal arts colleges all across the country, students are lining up to vote with the “I’m with Her” mentality. But what about the other side? Shouldn’t we at least acknowledge some of the good qualities of the Trump campaign? I mean, not any of their “policies” or “arguments” (which at this point is just a bunch of sexist and racist words strung together to sound like sentences). However, are these really the most important aspects of a president? If you said yes, let me persuade you with these other outstanding qualities that Trump possesses:

1. The hair

Anyone who has the confidence to pull off this hair-do definitely has the gusto to take on Putin (even if they already are best friends).

2. He's the ultimate throwback

In today’s world, everyone is dying to be as sepia toned and vintage as their great-great grandmas in the 1920’s and Trump gets this. With his racist and sexist rhetoric he embodies a modern day Andrew Jackson (don’t know about Andrew Jackson? Read up here: http://www.ushistory.org/us/24f.asp)

See, Jackson gets it.

3. He doesn't hate the gay community (as much as everyone else)

So far in this election cycle, Trump has gone after everyone. From wider topics like immigrants and women, to specific people who are immigrants and women, no one is out of Trump’s reach (poor Rosie O’ Donald). The only exception, it seems, is the LGBT community. Though he doesn’t support gay marriage or gay rights, he has not specifically attacked the gay community during this election cycle (progress?).

4. Trump knows how America should be run

Let’s make America great again. Because when was it great last? When it was founded? During the greatest generation of WWII? During the Civil Rights Movement? When gay marriage was legalized? Who knows? The debate on this wages on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQvWwHM5kM

5. He started with absolutely nothing

Except a small loan of a million dollars.

Cha-ching

So before you go out there and vote, keep these key qualities in mind. Your choices are between a venom spewing Democrat who says whatever will appeal to voters and Hillary Clinton. Choose wisely.

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.
