Hilary Clinton: Lady Boss

“The country is not ready for a female president”.

Uhm, excuse me? To say that you don’t want to vote for Hillary because you don’t agree with her position on a certain issue is one thing, but to simply say that you won’t vote for Hillary because she’s a female, well that’s just absurd.

Unfortunately, the scrutiny doesn’t stop there. People are not only saying that they won’t vote for Hillary because she’s a female, but they’re saying that they won’t vote for her because she’s a female b****.

Part of me can’t blame people who share such silly logic, because we are taught to dislike successful women, especially when the second option is a male counterpart.

It is just so astonishing to me that people perceive Hillary so much more negatively than they perceive male politicians simply because of her gender.

People call females like Hillary pushy and call males persistent. They call females conceited and call males confident. They call her by her first name and him by his last. They call Hillary a b**** and call him determined and strong minded.

Too many of Hillary’s qualities would go from being seen as negative to positive if she simply had a Y chromosome. The qualities that have made previous male presidents A+ leaders make her an unlikeable b****.

What people need to realize is that these women are not bad people, and Hillary is not wrong for the job simply because she’s a female. These women are simply fearless and fierce.

Many of the most successful, strongest, and influential women have at one point or another has been called such a name, and yes, Hillary is pushy, but how else is she going to make changes happen? No, she isn’t America’s sweetheart, but the president shouldn’t be.

If lady bosses like Hillary are deemed the ‘B’ word, then I want to be one too, because these are the females that get stuff done.

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.
