Now That Donald Trump is President

Keep this in mind for the next four, maybe eight years.

Now That Donald Trump is President
CNN

Whether you voted for him or not, Trump was elected president and no amount of complaining is going to change that. Yes, there is the freedom of speech and you have every right to speak your opinion and your mind, but condemning the man who now has the weight of the country on his shoulders and those who voted for him does not make you the bigger person (neither does gloating that Trump won). So he may not be who you wanted to win; everyone has an opinion of him whether it's nice or not, but hey, he may pleasantly surprise you with his time in office and he may not. But we don't know how these next four, maybe eight, years will turn out. So instead of jumping the gun and saying that America has gone to Hell, try having faith. You don't know God's plan--none of us do--but He has a plan. The world is not ending just because we have a new president who happens to be Donald Trump.

That all being said, I'm not trying to change your views or alter your opinions; they're yours and you can keep them. Just be mindful of what you say and how you say it, not only over the next couple weeks/months, but also over the course of your life. As I'm sure we all can attest, words hurt. Be careful how you use them.

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.
