Hate Will Not Be Victorious

With the election approaching, it is time to make a decision on the candidates.

In the a crucial election coming up in November, options for American citizens have narrowed even more with Bernie Sanders leaving the race. Last Tuesday, Sanders publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for President, leaving Hillary as the sole Democratic candidate.

Now the two candidates left are Hillary Clinton and the man who wants to recreate a wall similar to the Berlin Wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Donald Trump. America has to decide between a former First Lady of the United States, Senator and Secretary of State, and a business leader and former reality television show star. Sadly, it seems like more people believe in reality television than in actual politics, since Clinton is winning polls by only a slim amount.

Another one of Trump’s negative qualities is his adeptness at harnessing the large amount of hate and oppression seeping through the cracks of America. No amount of laws and protests have the ability to change the mindsets of America's citizens. Trump caters to Americans' fears, such as losing their jobs and he has made a campaign out that is dangerous in every way possible.

In addition, there are many powerful and influential people in America who stand against Trump and his vision for the country. On July 14, Ruth Ginsburg publicly apologized for her past negative statements about Trump. The Supreme Court, being the highest court in America, is above politics, but that does not detract from her prior vocal anti-Trump statements.

Clinton, while not being many people’s first choice, is safest option as the next leader of the free world. So, please do not back hatred in our country. Realize that we are stronger 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.
