"Come together right now..."

With all the politics going on, everyone has a different opinion, and others should see that it is okay to disagree with someone. And yes it is more than okay to have a conversation about it and make valid points. However, the most interesting thing to see during politics is how much people try to argue a one sided argument. Have you ever seen someone try to defend a candidate and they will not see any other side or statements of the argument? That anything you say they remain closed minded to the statement. Or they say "they do not care about politics" and then try to fight about a certain side, leaving you in disbelief.

Personally, I think the two main candidates that were running for president this year, Clinton and Trump, were way too hard to pick from. These two people make great points and they also make gruesome points. I know they say you are just as in the wrong if you do not vote, but look at us now. Everyone gets resentful if you pick one side or the other. This year, I did not want to defend either of them. I know many say that if you are just defending them that it doesn't mean they support them, but I really did not want anything to do with either. For multiple reasons, aren't you guys tired of seeing everyone all of a sudden become a politician? Go online and see all these status' that claim that if you vote for someone they will not be your friend.

Everything we fight for and believe in is not what we are pertaining to during times like this. We should be coming together, helping each others out in hard times, and see others' views. I am not saying it is not okay to have an opinion about something but I think it would be more beneficial if others could see both sides before jumping to conclusions off adds, apps, Twitter, Facebook,and edits on the news. Social media often makes me wonder if some people watched the full debate, or even just parts of it, at all.

Things are said and done. Right now we cannot do much about anything but make the best of what we have. Stand up for others and help others around you. Instead of just saying things you do not like or agree with, do something about it. Get off social media, listen/see others point of views, and go from there. We are the people that make the changes in the world every day.

Some of you do not even realize you are fighting the same argument. Are we what we say we are?

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.
