Presidential Election 2016
3 Word Wisdom

In my own personal opinion this election has to be the worst one to be a part of for my first time. Since the polls have opened, I have been very stressed out because it is my duty to vote. I do still believe that my own vote doesn’t matter, but because I have the opportunity to vote, I am going to take full advantage of that opportunity.

Donald Trump. The biggest thing I heard from this gentleman was that he wanted to build a wall on the borders between the U.S. and Mexico. My initial reaction was, “Good luck with that.” In the mean time, many others jumped to the conclusion that he is a racist man. I’m sure his statement offended a lot of people—but in 2016, everything offends Americans—though it did not really faze me. I mean, they were just words. In my own opinion, actions speak louder than words. One of the actions I have seen from do is pray. Now, I do not know if those actions were genuine or not, but what I do believe is that prayer is very strong and that God can and will answer our prayers. I am fearful that if Trump does become president that he may care more about money rather than the people of this country. I am not sure what his actual motives are if he does become president.

Hillary Clinton is someone I do not know much about. Honestly, I do not have much care for politics, but the one thing I do understand is that she is a criminal. For that reason I do not think she would be best suited as our president. Also, one thought that comes to mind is, “Is she really wanting to be president for the benefit of this country or to say that she was the first woman president?” Just like Trump I am not sure where her motives lie. Is she wanting to really help benefit this country or does she have her own personal motives?

Does voting for either one make me a terrible person? Does not voting make me a waste of a citizenship? I really do not know what to expect from this election or what the new president will bring to our country. At the end of the day I will trust that God will not turn his back on us. As I also hope that no matter who the president is that we do not turn our back on God the way the Israelites did. We are nothing without God. He is our molder has designed us and he has brought us this far and I do not believe that he abandon us. So, no matter who the next president is I say, God bless America.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
