How To Vote: 2016 Presidential Election

If you vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman, you are uneducated.

If you vote for Donald Trump because he says whatever he wants, you are uneducated.

I do not say that you are uneducated as an insult, but because using those two reasons are your decision to decide who should be the next leader of the Free World is ridiculous. We could choose any loud-mouth or woman as our next President of the United States. That doesn't mean that we should. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a woman as the President, and I would love to see a President who is honest and defends what they believe. I want a President that isn't controlled by businesses and people with money, but I want them to be honest and truly care for the betterment of this wonderful country that we live in.

I would never actually tell someone how they should vote or who they should vote for. I am simply trying to provide people the best information and help them make an informed decision. For those who are voting for the first time, like myself, it is easy to not want to vote simply because of our choices. I personally think that we got a crappy deal and that we will be voting for the lesser of two evils. To every person who is eligible to vote, I implore of you: please vote. Please. I know it is cliche to say, but every vote matters. Anyone over 18 years old is deemed responsible and capable enough to have a say in who becomes the President of the United States, and people need to take that seriously. The country is left in our hands, and we can complain about all the things that are wrong in this country, but I say you should only get to complain if you do something about it. Take a stand and help our country.

I would be lying if I said I didn't have opinions regarding the two possible future leaders; I want to stay as unbiased as possible with my advice, so I will end it on this note:

Do not vote for the woman. Do not vote for the blunt man. Vote for the best person for the United States of America. Please, educate yourself on what these two really have in mind for America.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
