Trump's Bad Week, Hillary's Poll Numbers

Election Update
Ydop

Donald Trump has had a few bad weeks one after another. He's said many things that I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable repeating. So here we are just mere weeks before the election and one nominee is surging while the other falls (not so gracefully I might add). Does this mean the election is over? Well, the short answer would be no. Votes will still be cast on November 8th and many of those votes will still be for Trump. The long answer is...well sort of. With the election getting closer and closer and Trump alienating more and more of the nation's key demographics it seems like this may be a hole he won't be able to climb out of. His insults about women and bragging about sexual assault alone are enough to potentially upset 51% of our population. Then there's the blatant hypocrisy where Trump doesn't want you to talk about his alleged sexual assault cases, but he loves bringing up the cases against Bill Clinton, a man not evening running for president.

I really don't understand blaming the wife of the man for the man's wrongdoing. If you want to dislike a presidential nominee, then I firmly believe that it should be based on their own merit. So if you want to dislike Hillary, by all means, do, she isn't perfect, but at least blame her for the stuff SHE actually did. So I went off on a bit of a tangent but that's how crazy this election actually is. Sure we all say Trump is down in the polls but honestly with how crazy everything has actually been, nothing can be certain until all the votes are cast. So moral of the story go out and vote...also, Trump had a bad week.

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.
