Let's Make America Great Again

But then again...I'm in college and don't understand politics.

Let's Make America Great Again
andelino.wordpress.com

During the first twenty years of my life I put my blindfold on and my earplugs in whenever the news came on. Social media sites were for watching football and staring at Kate Upton. For these reasons I was too stupid to be anything but a liberal and a hippie.

However, now that I've been enlightened by Fox News, "The Apprentice" and New Jersey's own Chris Christie, how could I be anything but a Donald Trump supporter?

People argue that my new favorite candidate is racist, but I'm sure that can't be true. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has publicly supported Trump and called it "treason" not to, but fortunately, Donald has never heard of the KKK or Duke.

Well that's confusing . . . it sounds like Trump is a racist, or at the very least, a bad liar with bad hair, but that's okay, no biggie, so were the Founding Fathers— I'm still down to make America great again. Afterall, while Donald may be a little racist, he still loves women, right? It upsets me when people say he doesn't believe in gender equality. That is just ridiculous. Everyone who knows anything knows that women have all the same opportunities as men.

And as Trump recently told a woman concerned about the issue of equal pay: "You’re gonna make the same if you do as good a job. And I happen to be pro-life. OK? I’m pro-life." Meanwhile, women continue to make an average of only 79 cents for every dollar that white men like The Donald earn. But that's pretty good seeing as how men like Fred Flintstone (and maybe David Duke) still believe a woman's place is in the home.

And besides, I've heard that Trump stands up for women. At a rally in New Hampshire he was quoted as saying, "I respect women incredibly. I have had women working for me in positions that they’ve never worked in terms of construction, in terms of so many different jobs . . . I respect women, I love women, I cherish women . . . I will take care of women . . . ."

Isn't Donald just so honest? He speaks from the heart. His supporters say that he doesn't care about being politically correct and that his outspoken attitude is what makes him so trustworthy. That is why it's hard to take this next clip as anything more than him speaking his mind.

It's good to know that as a white male I will be part of the only racial and gender groups with any Constitutional rights left intact by 2020. So that's it Mr. Trump — this naive college student is on board for your campaign. You have convinced me with your honesty, ability to always speak your mind and respect for others that you are the key to Making America Great Again. My fellow college students, if you still aren't sure who you'll vote for in 2016, take a gander at this clip.

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.
