The Libertarian Revolution

During this election season we have seen many things happen, such as Donald Trump become the Republican nomination, Hillary Clinton being found not guilty by the FBI and another email sent saying the DNC was rigging the primaries to help out Hillary, to the rise of the #feelthebern movement. Now with November only 4 months away a new movement is starting, The Libertarian Revolution. When former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson started his campaign no one thought he stood a chance. At most maybe he would get 2-3% of the vote. Now recently thanks to the fact that America has to choose between two evils, people are realizing “hey we got this guy right here”. Johnson is picking up ground. He is polling at 13 percent overall in the nation. All he needs is 15% and Donald and Hillary will have to deal with Gary Johnson at the debates. Imagine Hillary and Donald just trying to belittle each other and Gary would just be focused on the issues. In this election he is the only candidate who knows what he is talking about. In fact, he is the most qualified candidate severing two terms as governor of New Mexico.

This movement is not going to be a wasted vote for the Libertarians as more voters are starting to see that Gary is an option America can get behind. He is polling at the mid 20’s in 3 states one of them being New Mexico. If these numbers improve he may stand a chance to win 3 states, something that a third party candidate hasn’t done since Teddy Roosevelt did in the election of 1912. And with winning states, that will end the two party system in America and now bring the light of a new party to voters. However, this revolution cannot die down. We need everyone to pitch in. Let your voice be heard this November. Don’t throw your vote away with Trump or Clinton, send a message to the two party system by helping fuel the Libertarian Revolution.

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.
