Michael Scott... one of the greatest characters to ever hit the television world. If you do not know who he is, go on Netflix and begin watching "The Office" immediately. I'll see you in a few days, because you won't be able to stop watching until you've finished every season. Those who do know Michael know that he has some pretty great insights on many important issues in our world. It makes me wonder, "How would Michael Scott react to this years election?"

Now, when Michael was first told that Hilary Clinton was running, he didn't think it was serious. So, he didn't stay on topic for that conversation. He only talked about his Halloween costumes through the years.

"I love Halloween. You know, it's just, it's just fun. Every year, it's just fun. Last Halloween I came as Janet Jackson's boob. It was topical. People got a... a big kick out of it. The year before that, I came as Monica Lewinsky, and I wore a stained dress. The year before that, I also came as Monica Lewinsky."

Once the jokes were over, though, he was horrified to find that Jim wasn't joking and that Hilary was running... against Donald Trump. Michael says he doesn't approve of Trump's management style.

"I think the main difference between me and Donald Trump is that I get no pleasure out of saying the words 'You're fired'... he just makes people sad, and an office can't function that way."

Then, Michael heard about Trump's wall. He brought up some pretty solid points to refute this idea. Claiming it unconstitutional and going against what our forefathers believed in.

"Abraham Lincoln once said that if you are racist... I will attack you with the north"

Angela brought up the issue of Hilary Clinton's emails. Michael didn't see a problem with them.

"When I said before that I was king of forwards, you've got to understand that I don't come up with this stuff, I just forward it along. You wouldn't arrest a guy who is just delivering drugs from one guy to another."


After he went more in depth with his research on the candidates; however, he began to think Trump was a genius. He thought to himself that if Trump could make millions and never pay taxes by declaring bankruptcy, he could too. So, he decided to try.

"I.. declare... BANKRUPTCY"


When his coworkers said that he couldn't make millions just by saying the word, he informed them that he didn't say it, he declared it. Oscar told Michael that Hilary had pneumonia, but didn't tell the truth about it, at first. Dwight said it was because she seemed a lot sicker than that; almost like she had something stuck in her throat because she was always coughing, Michael responded with, "That's what she said."

Meredith said that's what she hated most about Trump; he made some pretty sexist comments because he felt like he knew every little in and out about a woman. Michael said that was absurd!

"Anyone who says they totally understand women is a fool, because they are un-understandable"


So now that you see Michael's point of view, it's your turn to decide! Trump or Clinton? November is soon approaching, so do what Michael Scott and any other patriotic American citizen would do... VOTE!

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.
