I'm a Millennial and I'm Voting for Hilary

I'm a Millennial and I'm Voting for Hilary
CNN

Let's note this is an opinionated article based on experience and current events.

On November 8th, I will be voting for Hilary Clinton. I will not be placing a protest vote. With the amount of people in this nation who are voting, a protest vote is not what we need. We need people to either vote for Hilary or Trump, not in the middle. Although both candidates are not ideal and appealing to people, we have to make a choice for either or.

The reason why I want to vote for Hilary and not Trump is pretty clear to me. Although Hilary has been having a bad reputation with the email scandal, blamed for Benghazi, and accused of going back on her word with certain policies (ex. freed trade), she's still the person I will be voting for. I am 24 and I want the future to be ideal for myself when I'm married and have children in my 30s. I don't want to raise my child or be married in a society where segregation is more visible to the public eye, my daughter will be harassed because she's a female, and my mother will be abused with racial slurs when she's a US citizen. Observing Trump's behavior and how his supporters are, I know I wouldn't feel safe in society. Yes, I should feel safe with the government as well but let's be honest that will always be a work in progress. I see hope and a future with Hilary. There will be rough patches and downfalls but I am confident she will find a way to come back up from it. She's been involved in politics for more than 30 years and has the resume to make me feel confident. And yes, as much as I would've loved to vote for Bernie that is not an option anymore. People will probably write his name in, but remember the more votes you take away from Hilary you are giving to Trump.

In conclusion, I'm with her. And come on, her poise at the first presidential campaign how could you not want to vote for her. Along with the shimmy, she will forever be known for the shimmy.

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.
