Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

Let Malia Obama Be Her Age!

So as the Democratic National Convention was going on there was someone missing. No, it wasn't someone on television who believes republicans are devil majority of them who think like that were front row at the convention. But I digress. The person who was missing in action was none only than Malia Obama. The daughter of President of the United States and first lady Michelle Obama...I know what you are thinking:

1. Why is she not with her father and mother during a time like this?

2. Why Lollapalooza?

3. How old is she again?

Now, as Michelle and Barack were giving their epic speeches Malia was dancing around with her friends at Lollapalooza within her hometown of Chicago! First things first, she is 18, everyone, and just graduated from high school. Yes, I understand she lives in the White House with one of the most famous couples in the world. That does not mean she cannot go out and have fun! She still wants to live her teenage years, but the whole time while she was dancing around, secret service was right there, casually dressed in their plaid. So, at all times she was protected. So, that would be considered safe fun. I mean, let's be real here, the family has not had one scandal....let that sink in. Why is that? Because, the family actually lives their lives outside of the political stuff. I know some of you see it as an issue for Barack to be playing basketball or Michelle riding around in a car singing karaoke with Missy Elliot but what else are they supposed to do? They also want their down time just like normal people, which they are. Their status in life does not make them. It just adds to their daily regimen. Plus, the girl is going to Harvard and we all know how stuck up Harvard is. Let Malia be her age. Let her be young. Get over it. She was not sheltered like some of the other presidents daughters. I knew she was different when back in 2014 she went to the Chance the Rapper concert along with her dressing skills. (Which I approve of). At the end of the day Malia is going to be her age and live like it.

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.
