Trump went to Mexico, and you can guess how it went

I'm just going to get into it.

Trump went into Mexico, and it was a disaster for his campaign.

The first time he's ever met a foreign dignitary comes on the outset of some truly bombastic rhetoric that has made the demagogue famous all over the campaign trail (i.e. building a wall, calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists, saying he would deport all undocumented immigrants, the list goes on and on).

What strikes me as a bit strange is how Trump said that he never raised discussion about the payment of the wall, something that the Mexican president, Enrique Pena Nieto, was quick to refute. The dignitary stated that yes, they did talk about the cost of the wall, and that he made it quite clear that Mexico wouldn't pay.

The Clinton campaign was quick to say that Trump choked, by not pressing any of the issues that he had vocalized so much about, and that he had been beat in the room, which is rough for the quality of his prowess as a businessman.

I think that this is just another example of Trump and his inadequacy. Honestly, we've all heard the countless true narratives, and today we're just regaled with another tale of idiocy.

We have a choice in November. Make the right one.

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.
