During Game Seven of the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Golden State Warriors, the referees continuously stopped the clock, as they pointed to the many out-of-bound plays. As the television displays the reactions of the players, we can subconsciously capture the humor throughout the game. While the majority of both teams point to their opposing basketball hoop, we can simply watch a replay of which team truly has possession of the ball. Laughter is unconstrained, because it is “obvious” to the viewers which player displaced the ball from the court, when the instant replay confirms our first thought.

Ironically enough, the current presidential campaign is creating a similar response. With the aid of each social media platform, along with the news, viewers are able to reconnect themselves and watch videos of Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton numerous times, in an attempt to comprehend what they are voicing and their plans with America; or should I say, their “game” of pointing fingers at one another. By replaying debates and rallies, both candidates are reassuring Americans that this campaign has unraveled itself into a child-like game of, “Who do you like better?” There is so much humor discovered within each candidates’ verbal attack on the other, when the only attacking that should exist, are a candidate’s motive to terminate varying epidemics of failure within our government and country.

If Donald Trump achieves his goal of building a wall, or if Hilary Clinton’s relation to Bill Clinton politically aids in her expansion of voters, they both will be unable to eliminate one major problem in America. That is, Americans will continue to point their fingers at opposing perspectives and beliefs, and direct their fingers at a government that is gradually losing manipulation of its stability. With that being said, neither candidate in this game will “Make America Great Again”, considering their incapability to solely focus on their goals and the American people. For now, viewers relentlessly watch two candidates who withhold incorrect motives in mind, dreading the upcoming battles of presidential preference.

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.
