It's Time For Qualified People To Be In Office, No More Celebrities, Please

Out of all the people that could meet with the president, Kim Kardashian is the one to talk about prison reform, really! If she is qualified to do that then I feel that anyone could walk in and just take a meeting!

How is she qualified? Now I do like Kim Kardashian, but really, just because Khloe went to jail for a DUI and was released a couple hours later does not mean she can start to run the prison system of America. I mean when is this going to end. We have a man in the White House who is a racist, homophobic, man and now he is meeting with celebrities to get advice. I mean we are the laughing stock of the world.

When Trump was elected president, the whole world was in shock. The main reason for his win was because of all the angry white voters that blamed everything on Obama. They came out in key parts of states that swayed the vote to help put the man we have in office in today.

Now President Trump is taking this presidency down the wrong place. He literally thanked Kanye West for his support and now Kanye's wife, Kim, is meeting him about prison reform. What's next, Kylie Jenner will be Secretary of Lip Injections and Kris Jenner will be the next president?

It is time that we actually take the advice of real people and try to listen to the public. This country is angry about what this man has done, and it is showing with protests and recent elections swaying in Democratic favor.

Now even though I just bashed the Kardashians, I feel that Kim had good intention but does she really think her opinion is going to change the world? Well her ass did and so did her sex tape, but that is beside the point.

The point that I am trying to make with this article is the fact that politics is nothing like it used to be. The United States used to be respected as a country and now we are the laughing stock of the world. We have a president who insults women on Twitter and in real life, makes endless comments that offend people, and takes advice from people who are famous for making a sex tape.

So, to end this article, I would have to say that things need to change. We actually need qualified people to take charge of the issues such as prison reform. It is a huge issue in this country and it should come from someone who is qualified, not someone who makes money from a TV show.

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.
