Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter

"There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them."

Donald Trump, Please Get Off Twitter
The Daily Dot

Dear Donald Trump,

Please, for the love of God, chill out with the tweeting. While it's fun to be reckless on social media and tweet whatever comes to mind, as the President-elect, you need to stop. It's already scary enough that a man with no political experience is going to run our country, and this just makes it even scarier. You lose your mind whenever SNL does a parody of you, instead of realizing that it's a joke and that, as Americans, we have the right to make these kinds of jokes. Even as one of the most powerful men in the world, you cannot take that right away from us.

But instead of being outraged over a TV show, how about being outraged over something that actually matters? Get angry at what is happening at Standing Rock. Get angry that so many of our Veterans are homeless or unemployed. Get angry that Flint Michigan still does not have clean drinking water. There is so much happening in this country that deserves your outrage, but a comedy show is certainly not one of them. So please, get off Twitter, and get angry at the things that actually matter. Maybe then, I can start to take you seriously.

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.
