Hey Tomi Lahren, You Need To Take A Step Back

Or take a step down.

Tomi Lahren, a so called 'political commentator' is the epitome of the word shameful. Her nationwide web fame is used as a platform to enforce her systematic privilege in the form of hateful words. You could not pay me a million dollars to sit down with her and try to have an intellectual conversation and here is why:

Given your vast audience and millions of video shares on Facebook it is no doubt that you have power. Your conservative thoughts on politics are rooted within our fu*&ed up system and honestly, if you were an uninformed thirteen-year-old that would be acceptable. But you aren't and this is why you bring shame to females and the United States. Instead of using your platform to intelligently and gracefully explain your political views, you spit words such as 'failure' and 'be a leader, somewhat' in reference to President Obama.

Let's take a step back and look at a respectable political commentator, Rachel Maddow. Time and time again she delves deep into both our political flaws and successes. Her words stem from knowledge and honorable intention. She welcomes conversation, while Tomi Lahren spits her opinion and signs off.

Tomi is a republican who supports Donald Trump, not so shocking anymore given her own unseemly outbursts. America is a democracy and we are all free to cast our votes for whomever we see fit. However, in complete honesty, any female to support Donald Trump is a step backwards for equality. Does Tomi not read the news or watch the press conferences? Does she not see that he is a chauvinist who will have no problem ripping away our rights as soon as he enters the Oval Office? I mean all we are are fat pigs and slobs, right Mr. Trump?

Reality check, Tomi. I never want to separate women because together we are stronger. But it is your 'passionate rants' that take us back to a time when we were nothing but household dolls. Be a role model for young women. You have a rare platform. Maybe you should think about using it in a more patriotic way.

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.
