Ever since Trump was elected president, Trump supporters constantly kept saying to give him a chance. They said that despite everything he said throughout the election, he was going to a good president. But ever since his inauguration, everything has gone downhill. In just 8 days, he has managed to get 53% of the U.S. population against him.

Within his first 8 days in office, he has signed off on so many executive orders that affect a variety of different people in this country and around the world. He made an executive order about starting construction on the border wall, and he plans on using American tax dollars to pay for this wall. Then after it's finished he plans on making Mexico reimburse the U.S. for the wall. However, none of this is actually possible. Unless he plans on going to war with Mexico so they can pay for the wall, they aren't going to actually pay for it, no matter what Trump says. At this point, Mexico is done with the U.S. and Trump, they even got to the point of boycotting all of the U.S. companies in Mexico. The U.S. is going to lose a lot of money due to this boycott. But Trump has not realized that yet, he's acting as if this is some kind of game.

On top of that, he put out a ban of all Muslim refugees from 7 different countries, from entering the U.S., also including those who have visas. People's lives are in danger in some of these countries and Trump is just choosing to turn his back on them. He is choosing not to help them in their time of need. Along with this, the people who do have visas and are from these countries are in in danger of being deported or if they are outside the country they are not able to re-enter the country. This is due to the fact that these countries are on some kind of terrorist list and because of this, Trump believes that the people from these countries are some kind of danger; when most of them are fleeing whatever horrible living situations their countries are going through.

Trump has just caused a lot of chaos and has created a lot of tension between the U.S. and other countries. He has completely dismantled what a democracy is and has caused for a lot of issues to grow. A lot of people, especially in other countries, are against what is going on right now in the U.S. For most of us, we don't see it getting any better any time soon. I honestly don't even know what more to expect from him, at this point, all hell has broken loose. I just have to hope for the best.

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.
