The Man Who Predicted The Election
Variety

I will admit it. I am not into politics in regard to the issues and controversies. But this past election grabbed my attention as it has become the biggest upset throughout the nation. It's November 8, 2016, Election Day, where people have an opportunity to run to the polls and make their vote count. The citizens sit and wait for the results as the race comes to a close. Then Donald Trump gets elected to take over the chair in the oval office. The next day, anti-Trump protesters throughout the nation marched and expressed their disappointment by roaming the streets of cities such as Los Angeles and New York. Protesters stood in front of the Trump Towers and chanted "Not my president" and other phrases. People driving around listening and turning up the volume of the song, "F--- Donald Trump" by hip hop artist YG. Celebrities express their opinions through social media on the outcome and persuade people to come together as a nation.

As citizens were shocked, there are questions on how he was able to get the victory over Hillary Clinton. My father showed me a video about a man who made his predictions that Trump was going to be elected. The man was filmmaker and writer, Michael Moore. Moore made statements on how the American people will most likely vote Trump instead of Hillary. What caught my attention was his confidence in his prediction.

"On November 8 (Election Day), the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain and put a big f---ing 'X' in the box of the man who has threatened to overturn the very system that will ruin their lives, Donald J. Trump," says Moore.

He felt that people who have lost their jobs and weren't able to make a living with the low income of money would rather have Trump as elected president. Watching this video made me believe it even more, but the outcome was shocking on Election Day.

The video concludes with Moore making the statement, "Trump's election is going to be the biggest f--- you ever recorded in human history."

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.
