He Is Your President

I don't love him, but we can't change the votes

He Is Your President

I know most are not happy with the outcome of this election, I am not thrilled by any means either, but there is nothing we can do now, so we have to accept it. The jokes about leaving the country if Trump becomes president were all fun and games until he actually became out president-elect. As much as it pains me to think about having a Mr. President Trump, it is now becoming a reality. Trust me, I am just as guilty as the other anti-trump people of not accepting the fact that he is our president and spreading the fear across Facebook and Twitter. When I face a difficult or bad situation, I try to look on the brighter side and find good things in the non-ideal situation. I went through some of the things that Trump plans to do in his first 100 days in office and found a few good things that is planning on doing.

1. Trump plans on getting rid of the corruption in Washington

He wants to implement term limits on Congressmen and women to avoid any one member from always winning the election. He also wants to impose a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

2. Trump is planning on working with Congress to introduce some broader legislative measures

He plans on introducing the School Choice And Education Opportunity Act which will relocate education funds to allow parents full choice on how and where to educate their children. It will also eliminate common core and allows the education supervision to be localized. The act will also make 2 and 4 year colleges more affordable.

Trump plans on introducing the Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. This would replace Obamacare with a Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and it would allow states to manage Medicaid funds. This would also loosen the strings on the FDA and allow lifesaving medications to be legalized.

I know this is not much to look forward to these next four years that Trump will be in office, but it is better than nothing. Hillary Clinton stated that she wants us to come together to work with our next President in order for this country to stay united as one. We have to keep moving forward and allow Trump to show us how he is going to operate in the White House.

We need to stop the protests and riots and the "He is not my President" nonsense. Some people have stated that we let hate win when Trump was elected to be out next President but I say that if we stay together and work with Trump instead of against him, hate will never, ever win.

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.
