A Real Problem: The Time of Trump

A Real Problem: The Time of Trump

We all need to come together for the next two years. We need to get cozy and comfortable. We need to do what is best for the world we are living in, for we are facing the greatest catastrophe since the Black Plague and the rise of Phil Collins. We are watching the political rise of Donald Trump, and he's bringing his hair with him.

This is not about Red states and Blue states. This is about saving ourselves. He is a fool, a clown. And yeah, I recognize that every time he does anything it is raw entertainment for the masses, but what I think people forget is that he's actually leading in the polls right now. We need to get real. We need to make sure he gets shut down. America can no longer support and fund his racism and backwards thinking. The fact that he is even competitive in the American political sphere is astounding and worrisome. The last time we saw him he was yelling about birth certificates and before that he hosted a g*ddamn reality TV show. How could we even let him think he could hold political office?

The worst part is that he could win because we, the right-minded people of the world, are doing nothing to stop him. We just sit back and laugh at him because to us, he is a joke. Realistically, though, he is not a joke. He is making moves and promoting policies that could tear us apart. He's an unapologetic racist that is trying to revoke the 14th Amendment, and yet he still has steadfast supporters with fewer teeth than fingers. If we don't do something fast, Trump could become reality, not a ridiculous joke thrust upon us by a ramshackle Republican party. Which leads me to another problem. There is really no one in that party that is competent enough to overcome his boorish qualities that have endeared him to the ignorant masses.

This leads me to believe that it is time to abandon a doomed party. Just let the ship sink, if not put more holes into it so it goes down faster. I'm not even a Democrat and this is what I think we should do. Just vote for Big Bern Sanders to put the final nail the the conservative coffin. Let us move forward into a progressive world. Even if you don't agree with his policies, let's just see what happens. I couldn't be any worse that what we've been subjected to for that past 80 years. Let's take a step towards the modern era. The problem is we have to do it together. There's no leaving behind those who are stuck in a bog of shit-for-brains. Convert. Go forth and convert. Make it happen, and then we can all breathe again.

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.
