With the election of the new President comes a lot of extra talk about specific topics that may not typically be discussed. One of the big topics of discussion throughout the media is the topic of abortion. This is a sensitive subject for some people while for others it is a no brainer.

One of the many beauties about living in the United States is that everyone is entailed to their own opinion and have the right to stand up for what they believe in. The saying is "you really don't know someone's situation until you walk in their shoes." So categorizing ALL women under one umbrella is wrong.

NO ONE likes abortion so being Pro- Choice does not make me want abortions to happen but every situation is different for every person. So I am standing up for ALL the women. Deciding to have an abortion has to be one of the most heartbreaking decisions that a woman would have to make but that decision could be the decision that saves her life. Not every woman's body is capable of carrying a child, not every rape victim is emotionally or finically stable to have a child. You just don't know someone's situation.

Putting restrictions on someone who more than likely is already going through an emotionally hard time just puts more strain on the carrier of the child. A man will never truly know or experience what it is like to carry life, so the fact that one thinks he is entailed to try to restrict what I do with my own body is beside me. I feel that it is a basic human right to be able to decide what happens to your body. The best thing to do about this subject is to educate yourself and keep an open mind.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
