Reasons I’m Sad Bobby Jindal’s Time Is Done In The Presidential Race

This past Tuesday marks the day Gov. Bobby Jindal’s official resignation as one of the Republican presidential candidates for the presidential race of 2016.

For those of you who don’t know who Bobby Jindal is, Bobby Jindal (also fondly known as Piyush Jindal) is Governor of the great state of Louisiana. An avid gun user and promoter of the second amendment (right to bear arms), Jindal is quite the Louisiana treasure. Here is a picture of Jindal with a highly accurate painting of himself.

If you haven’t spotted the satire yet, it's clear Jindal is quite the joke of this candidacy. Being a writer who does not really keep up with politics, I can’t really say anything about his public policies. However, I can (and will) comment on his personality and other non-political aspects of his political campaign. Here are the reasons I’m sad Bobby Jindal’s time in the presidential election is over:

1. He caused the “Bobby Jindal is so white” tweets.

Oh, how these tweets caused so many hours of LOLing whilst studying for biology over the summer. Started by Hari Kondabalu, the “Bobby Jindal is so white” tweets depict typical things Indians and Indian-Americans do that Jindal does not do because he so clearly denies his Indian identity. Here’s an example.

2. His accent.

This is probably the only authentic thing about him. When listening to Jindal speak, although a very eloquent speaker, it is very clear that he was born and raised in the States. I’m not saying this is anything to be ashamed of, as also being raised in the States my accent depicts the same thing. But his accent is clearly #goals.

3. He was the only Indian presidential candidate, so far.

Even though he blatantly denies his Indian heritage, he is the only presidential candidate of Indian descent who has stepped up to the plate so far. Proud of you, Piyush.

4. He was the inspiration behind Aziz Ansari’s interpretation of a governor on the "Tonight Show."

This is one of the most hilarious sketches on the show that depicts the clear faults in his political campaign.


5. His inability to answer #AskBobby questions.

During his presidential candidacy, Jindal and his PR party decided to take to Twitter and ask his many followers to ask him questions that he would answer. However, this backfired as many of the tweets were pretty insulting to his political stance and, hence, were not answered.

So (regretfully) I say, peace out Piyush. Hopefully we’ll see you in 2020 and you can give Kanye a run for his money.

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.
