A Look Back At Bill O'Reilly's Worst Moments

Last week, Bill O'Reilly was (finally) fired from Fox News due to his repeated sexual harassment. Apparently, throughout his time at Fox News, he threatened to end the careers of the women who refused to sleep with him, once called a black woman "hot chocolate" and even called female colleagues just to masturbate on the phone. But this wasn't the first time Bill O'Reilly has said or done something utterly morally repugnant. Over the course of his career at Fox News he:

1. Claimed that lesbian gangs were rampaging across the US and "indoctrinating" innocent young girls.

2. Infamously said that slaves who were forced to build the White House were "well-fed and had decent lodgings." After he was rightfully called out for his remarks, he just doubled down.

3. Flipped out at the son of a 9/11 victim because he did not support the US' imperialist War on Terror.

4.Told Marc Lamont Hill (a black professor at Columbia) that he looked like a cocaine dealer.

5. Claimed that trans people were part of a conspiracy to make Americans "not believe in gender."

6. Justified Freddie Gray's murder by arguing he was killed because of his "lifestyle."

7. Hosted an intensely racist and exploitative piece about East Asian people living in Chinatown.

8. Said that black people "are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads."

9. Compared queer people to al Qaeda.

10. Complained that the Left was taking power away from the "white establishment."

So bye, Bill, we absolutely will not miss you.

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.
