No, this will not be me telling you who to vote for.

A Note to Voters on Election Day
issueone.org

If you are eligible to vote in this year's election, you should absolutely do so. Even though you may think your one vote does not matter, it absolutely does. Many of us have this mentality and you can imagine how many people do not vote because of it and that's crazy! So please go out and vote, but first here are a few tips when considering your vote:

PLEASE do not base your vote on social media.

Look, if you haven't noticed yet that the media and people's opinions on Facebook are the most unreliable and biased sources you could ever come across, you need to do rethink your options.

Do your RESEARCH

I cannot stress this enough, please do not vote for a candidate without firmly knowing their stances on various important issues.

Do not allow someone to sway your opinions through bullying.

The amount of times I see literal threats on social media from individuals trying to convince a person to vote for a specific candidate is insane. Do not let a person like that sway your thinking. Stay strong in your belief whatever that may be.

Set an alarm for Election Day.

The worst thing you could do is forget to vote on time! So, set an alarm and be ready to go!

Think smart.

Truly think to yourself who would be the best person to put in office, and who has the most beliefs in common with you.


America, get out there and vote. Because no one else is going to do it for you.

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.
