An Open Letter To Donald Trump Before The Election
Oliver Willis

Dear Mr. Trump,

I can honestly commend you for making it this far in the election. You fought all odds and beat everyone’s expectations by being here at this point. Despite this, I can say that I despise you.

You think that by intimidating and scaring people, you’ll get your way. You think that by perpetuating distasteful stereotypes people will like you. Well, you are wrong.

Your racist and derogatory rhetoric turn people away from your campaign. Whatever great ideas you may think that you have are completely obliterated when you open your mouth and let that steady flow of bigoted garbage flow.

You are not a trustworthy man, be it with the multiple times you’ve gone bankrupt or the numerous times you’ve engaged in affairs outside of your current relationships. If you can’t be trusted in your business or personal life, how can a nation of hundreds of millions of people trust you with top-secret information, nuclear codes, and time-sensitive data?

You are also offensive to almost everyone you meet. You can’t meet a single person without making a snarky comment about their character or behavior. Is it possible for the US to have strong diplomatic relations with any other country if you treat them this same way?

You’ve alienated large groups of people, be it women, Hispanics, African-Americans or other groups with your thoughtless actions and belief that you can marginalize whole groups of people and still win the election.

Your privilege disgusts us all. You think that starting with only one million dollars makes your life hard. What about families that barely survive on $20,000-$30,000 a year? You don’t understand the plight of a common man. Those of us who are willing enough to become entrepreneurs have to take loans from the banks of tens of thousands of dollars, struggling and wondering how we will ever pay them back. We don’t have the luxury of being given millions of dollars and then complaining about it.

You also lie more than any other candidate. The fact-checkers after every debate show that half your statements are wrong. When you claim to your opponent that you never said certain things, evidence will pull up, showing that you did indeed do and say those things.

Honestly, Mr. Trump, I can’t wait for election day. I can’t wait for you to finally get what you deserve – a loss. Maybe then you’ll learn that racism, sexism, homophobia, and overall nastiness won’t get you everything in life.

Sincerely,

Every individual in the United States

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.
