Like choosing between Cobra Commander and Skeletor.

Hillary vs. Trump: Our Doomed Presidential Election
Freaking News

So after about a year of campaigning, debating, drop outs and Twitter feuds, America has spoken, or the super delegates or however that works. Anyway, all the extremely qualified and dare I say, normal people dropped out and now we are stuck with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Of course I am not suggesting that Lincoln Chafee or Mike Huckabee are normal but, you know. A lot of people, myself included, are frustrated that Clinton and Trump are the two choices remaining this November. They feel like both candidates are pretty awful and are generally unlikable. Of course these candidate's loyal followers would beg to differ.

So if you're a pretty normal person, a #NeverTrump Conservative, or a #NeverHillary Democrat, let's look at the pros and cons of each candidate and who YOU should vote for. Disclaimer:

No, I am not telling you who to vote for. In fact just the exact opposite, you make that decision all on your own. This is an article mostly for entertainment purposes. Please also note the pros will be very short for each one.

Hillary Clinton Pros

She is not Donald Trump. Rodham is a decent maiden name. It took me five minutes just to come up with the second one. Also, Kate McKinnon does a great impression of her, so if she's elected we get more Clinton satire at least.

Hillary Clinton Cons

She is solely responsible for Benghazi, yet hardly seems to care, and lied to the families of the Marines involved. Lying is a theme you'll see often here. She is currently under investigation by the FBI and that is truly historical. If she wants to play the history-making card. She is out of touch. (i.e. Just chillin' in Cedar Rapids.) She either thinks she's funny or is that stupid. For example, "Did you wipe your e-mail server?" "What, with a cloth or something?" She is Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump Pros

He is not Hillary Clinton. He manages to sing the theme song from Green Acres pretty well.


Donald Trump Cons

His Twitter is like if your drunk uncle was given a Twitter but given way over a million followers and didn't know how to retweet. He has switched from Liberal to Conservative multiple times with no explanation. Primary example is when he went from wanting all guns to be banned to being an average everyday gun toting, New York billionaire. He is just a little racist. Let's not forget the taco bowl admiration on Cinco de Mayo. He is just a little sexist. Maybe Megyn Kelly really is a "bimbo." He thinks his daughter has a great body. That's just weird. But at least he isn't an any real trouble right? Oh yeah, I almost forgot Trump University.


Anyway, as Election Day 2016 approaches, you have the choice as an American to choose either between Cobra Commander or Darth Vader, an Independent (which will ultimately lead to the aforementioned candidates gaining votes) or write in a name. Either way, just don't sit at home come November. Sure it will suck choosing the most tolerable between our modern day Voldemort and Skeletor, but if you don't vote, you can't complain about who becomes elected. Because you have the right to choose come November. Who will you pick? Sure this election will be looked back on in fifty years as laughable and probably embarrassing, but the stakes are pretty high. I'm Christian Nichols and I'm asking for your vote.

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.
