Not Looking Forward to This Year's Presidential Election
Us News

When I was in high school, I learned a lot about politics in my AP Government class taught by Ms. O'Connor at Lake Taylor High School. I never really cared about politics until after I had her as a teacher. We learned that millennials are the least likely to vote and because of her more and more of have chosen to vote but this year's election is ridiculous. The options we are left with are horrible. I mean Hillary Clinton is not that bad but Trump? Oh. My. Gosh. I've never in my life seen someone who is so full of their-self. He has made so many different racist remarks regarding women, African Americans and people with disability. He was even seen in public, publicly mocking a disabled person. Also during these past two presidential debates as the people were asking questions all Trump and Clinton did not answer any questions. All they did was blame each other for mistakes. But also they never answered the important questions that we wanted to know. They just kept avoiding the questions and answering with gibberish. Why did Trump never pay taxes? We all pay taxes. Even Clinton pays taxes. What makes Trump so special that he does not have to pay taxes? Then during the second debate, Trump was basically calling America stupid because apparently we don't know how to deal with the wars our troops are fighting everyday, risking their lives to keep us all alive and that just is not right. Not to mention that grotesque comment Trump made a while ago about how he can do anything he wants to women because he is a star. That is really messed up. Just because you're a man doesn't give you the right to just think that you can do anything that you want to women. That's what is wrong with our generation and culture today. They think that they can get away with anything and it's people like Trump who are setting this bad example. People need to see and realize that this is promoting rape culture.

Then also Clinton. Our senator. She kept avoiding that question about her emails. Why was she keeping two email accounts? She could have been leaking private governmental information. We don't know what could have been in those emails. All I am saying that we wish had better presidential candidates to vote for this year to vote for.

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.
