Never Trump

Don't forget intelligence when choosing our next president.

Never Trump

Have your views, your opinions, your explanations but never Trump. The most common phrase I constantly hear when discussing the 2016 election is, “Well, I’m voting for Trump because I hate Hilary.” That sentence infuriates me. Just because you don’t agree with every position Hilary Clinton has taken, or because of her “emails” or because of Benghazi, you’re going to go with Trump? Who is on another planet when it comes to reality and dignity. I get it, Hilary isn’t perfect, trust me she wasn’t my first choice either, but sadly, in this election we don’t have the choice to be picky anymore.

I don’t understand the intelligence in putting the faith of your country in a bigot, billionaire,unintelligent, narcissistic lying a**hole. Someone who is persistently in the media for going back on what he said because he was talking “figuratively" or "sarcastically.” How can people take this man serious is what I want to know. A man who has no empathy on the basic american lifestyle including the middle class and their needs. A man who believes the minimum wage is too high, while inflation rises, and wages stay flat, The man who has openly gone against the constitution by claiming if he wins, he will ban a whole religion from entering this country. A man who is laughed at by other countries for his candidacy but is supposed to act as the mediator when commander in chief with allies? The man who full strung to the heart Republicans are publicly disowning and voting for the other party instead. The man who has been in thousands of lawsuits, yes thousands. The man who if he doesn’t get his way, whines or just sues.

I understand how hard this election is for everyone, no one feels they have any choice. But think of the work Hilary Clinton has done, the policies she has been involved in enacting. Think of what she stands for. The middle class, the working American, health care, education, innovation in our capital, if Trump wins all of that will be ruined. I especially think of all the progressive policies currently in our government and how they will be destroyed, and changed if Trump is in office. Don't just think about Clinton, think about what she can do, and how she knows how to do it. She is the most qualified person who ran in this election. Think about Trump who has no intelligence on the constitution, government policies, or how to even begin running a country. It is just sad we live in a day of age where popularity comes to mind when picking the next president, people treat it like the next season of "American Idol" and no thought or effort is put into it.

So tell me, you wanna talk about morality, you wanna talk about qualification, you wanna talk about dignity? Fine, but never Trump.

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.
