Ready, Set, Vote!

With Election Day right around the corner you want to make sure you are informed and ready to make the biggest decision we as American citizens can make- voting for the President of the United States. Here are a few reasons to get excited to cast your ballot on November 8th!

1. You get to to exercise your Constitutional right to vote. Too often we take this for granted. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed to allow every U.S. citizen over the age of 18 to vote. Do not let those who died and fought for all genders and ethnicities to be able to cast a vote be in vain.

2. You have the ability to use your voice to make a difference. Each individual has the opportunity to take a stand and support their parties candidate. It is the time that every citizen, no matter income or social status, is on equal ground. Words cannot express how inconceivably cool that is. Every single person in our nation (over 18) has the power to vote for the ideals they want to live by, the policies that they agree with, for the America they want to live in. We the people have the ability to mold and change our nation as we see fit.

3. You get a sticker! Okay so this is a bit trivial but who cares. Stickers are so cool. You can even follow in the steps of celebrities like Zoe Kravitz or Katy Perry and post a picture on social media to let the world now that you care for your country enough to vote.

This is just a friendly call to action. Please vote, it is so important and impacts every single one of us. Vote for yourself, vote for your family, for those who died so that you could have the ability to.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
