A Liberal Take On The RNC, Told By Gifs

I was 100% sober the entire time, although I would have loved to make it a drinking game.

A Liberal Take On The RNC, Told By Gifs

As I’ve mentioned before, I love politics. I don’t know why, but for whatever reason, I just do. So this past week — well last week as you read this – was the Republican National Convention. I must admit that I’m very disappointed that this did not end up being a contested convention like I, and many others, had hoped. The Republicans stupidly decided to go with Trump as their ‘candidate’, further proving the fact that this country, the world and 2016 is going to shit. I stupidly decided to watch the RNC because I must get some sort of sick pleasure out of causing myself an unneeded amount of pain. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I could turn this into a drinking game. But I couldn’t, because luckily for me, I’m not 21 yet! Side note: during the next RNC, I plan to make it a drinking game. So my sober and very unbrainwashed by Fox News and all the other bullsh*t Republicans scream to the idiots in this country liberal mind was 100% fully focused and ready to take in what was being said by all the people. Another side note: I regretted this choice right away.

Every single time that someone mentioned Hillary or her emails

Every single Blue/All Lives Matter mention

Seeing every new “Make America ______ Again” theme

When I heard Ted Cruz was making a speech

When Ted Cruz didn’t endorse Trump, basically told the crowd not to vote for Trump and actually earned a very tiny bit of respect

When Ted Cruz ruined the tiny bit of respect that I actually had for him because he tanked his own career and said he couldn’t endorse Trump, because of what he said about his wife and father, and not because Trump is a terrible person.

When Ivanka made a very democratic sounding speech and when I realized the only reason anyone was pretending to listen to her is because she’s a tall, pretty, blonde

When Trump kept talking

And talking

And talking, without mentioning a single plan

But of course he didn’t forget to race bait

When you realize that this country is doomed if he wins

When I remembered that I have to write another article exactly like this one next week for the white feminist convention Democratic National Convention.

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.
