No matter on who you voted for, or who you wanted to win we should all be looking forward. It is a done deal at this point. There is nothing we can do about it. Obviously, a lot of people are upset about this, and obviously a lot of people are glad, but think about it. Someone had to win and someone had to lose. Yes, things may have been different with many different fasctors, but we have to look forward not backwards.

The words Obama used in his address today were honestly perfect. The sun still rose the next day. He talks about how the peaceful transition between power is a very important factor. He also goes on to say " the day after we have to remember that we actually are all on one team.... we are not democrats first or republicans first we are americans first. We all want what's best for this country. The country needs a sense of unity a sense of inclusion , a respect for our institutions, our way of life, rule of law, and respect for eachother."

We need to keep our heads up and to not react in rash ways. There is not a single thing we can do to change this outcome. The mission is to have the country united and to move forward. Thre is no turning back now so we need to accept the outcome. Wether you like it or not he will be the next president. All we can do is hope for the best, hope that our country does not fall apart.

For all the people who are dissapointed in the country, i get it it sucks. For all the people who are glad, good for you. At the end of the day everyone should hope for the best and hope that he does nothing drastic to hurt our country.

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.
