Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting

The option is there, go vote!

Massachusetts, Thank You For Early Voting
Wikipedia.com

This time of year, for most of us during the election, is honestly the most stressful. Not only do we have three holidays stacked against us, we also have to worry about getting things in order to go vote for the next president of the United States. In years previous, Massachusetts residents did not have the option to vote early. Now, in 2016, we already have had 250,000 people cast their ballots early and it is honestly incredible.

This is a pretty big deal for us because now everyone can relieve some stress and go vote before election day, November 8th, and avoid the hassle of possible long lines, long waits, and frustration all around. I know that come Wednesday, November 2, which is two days before the last day of early voting, Friday, November 4, I, along with my sister, are going to be voting. I'm excited, and honestly proud because this is the first time my sister is going to be voting. It only took an angry Cheez-It to persuade her.

I wanted to take the time to interrupt my current series on exploring unusual sexual fantasies for just one week to give a special thanks to my home state. Thank you, Massachusetts, not only for early voting, but for many other things as well. I love this place and, even though there has been some evidence of subtle racism, or in your face racism, and bigotry, I love it here.

Other than just saying thank you for providing us with this opportunity to hit the polls early, I want to also leave on this note: if you can, go vote. Go and vote. I cannot emphasize this enough. Just go vote. The option is there, conveniently placed so you can just go down to a town hall or other designated areas to voice your opinion via ballot.

This may be a short article, but I wanted to be able to leave you with important info regarding early voting. Clicking here will redirect you to a helpful tool found on Google. You can find out where you need to go to vote early, the times you can do so, and when this option will be available. It also provides more helpful information on voting and the ballot. Happy voting!

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.
