Don't Judge Me

Hear me out.

Don't Judge Me

So lately, I've been getting a lot of backlash because of who I support for the Presidential candidacy. Hear me out before you get in line before everyone else calling me insane.

The other night I got in a fight on Facebook with a sophomore in high school. Now, I am entering my sophomore year in nursing school and this kid was calling me uneducated for supporting Trump. Some of you anti-Trump people can't even explain in an actual logical reason why you don't stand by him. I'm not saying he's perfect at all, but when putting him side by side with his competition, I'd rather have him than a woman responsible for thousands of innocent American lives.

To say the least, Donald Trump has turned things from nothing into something. The past presidents that we have had seemed to have strong follower mentalities. The one thing that sets Trump apart from his competition is his ability to speak what is on his mind (a reason you either love or hate about him). It is no surprise whatsoever that America is on a huge downward spiral starting with the crash of Wall Street and the Housing Market in 2008. We lost everything, seemed to be getting better, and well now, here we are.

Compared to our current [resident, I thoroughly believe that Donald Trump loves America and the people in it. Before you jump and scream about "building the wall" and "banning all Muslims," you need to stop and fact check yourself first. He NEVER said at anytime that he didn't want people from other countries living here, he said that he wants them to enter legally, something our current president has no problem turning an eye too. When we opened up the border to Mexico, a lot of positive came over, but so did a lot of negatives. Mexico wrote America off as the time as a place to "dump prisoners and mental patients." Of course, we can also look at the drug trade that has thoroughly expanded and Mexico's involvement with it being so branched to America.

America needs someone to come in and run it exactly like a business—something many people are not too keen on. While all of you scream and yell and post to all these social media platforms about him being a racist and a misogynist and all these horrible things, I think it is important to look back before he was running against the Democrats and remind ourselves that he was never called a racist before stepping up to this plate. In my opinion, many people fear him more than they actually hate him. Reasons being that Trump wants to almost start from scratch and dedicate his four (or eight) years in office to truly "Make America Great Again."

Trump is not a politician, he is a business man. Going back to my opening paragraph, he has made a life turning nothing into something. He has molded a platform and basically flipped off the establishment and this is why many people are iffy in standing with him. Funny how the one word that elected Obama into Office is the one word that scares people into standing with Trump: "change."

He is not rehearsed. He is not taking all the suggestions and money from these people like he could be and turning it into exactly what we've seen in the past. With running his campaign off of only money comes from him should be a big deciding factor to some people that he is standing with the America people and will not let it be bought anymore. We need someone with his mindset to come in and work for the American people. When you fight as hard as him, it is hard to see him as anything other than what he really is: an American.

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.
