A Review of the 2016 RNC

Have you heard? The circus is in town! It's called "Make America Great Again". The clown wears a funny wig and makes ludicrous and inaccurate statements. Is it any surprise that the RNC seemed to be a bit of a disaster? When Ted Cruz makes the most thoughtful remarks (he refused to give his support to the power-hungry and crazed Trump), you've got to realize that something is not quite right. Let's take a look at some of the most exciting parts of the night, shall we?

To begin, Donnie Boy has continued to use songs by The Rolling Stone's despite their continuous criticism of his campaign. Trump, however, who has never had to exercise self-control, does not understand that NO means NO. I'm secretly praying that the band continues to speak out against Trump when he uses their music without permission and then take legal action against him. I do love it when Presidential candidates ignore reasonable demands like "Hey, don't use my music unless I say it's okay to use my music." It really demonstrates the point that he was trying to get across during his speech, that he's here for the American people. That's right, Trump ignored The Rolling Stones because they're British. Take that, England!

One interesting aspect of the night was Melania's speech. Not only was it a great lesson to college students (don't plagiarize, you'll get caught), but it was so ironic. Melania didn't steal just anyone's speech. Melania stole part of Michelle Obama's speech. Melania, the wife of a man who could not be more prejudiced against democrats, especially Obama and Hilary, stole part of Michelle Obama's speech. Is this not hilarious to anyone else? I mean, of course it was a serious mistake and the "speech-writer" has come out to "take full responsibility" of the speech, but apparently Donald and Barack have more in common than they originally thought.

However, my favorite part of the night was seeing Donald's youngest child, Barron. First of all, Barron is a great name, quite reminiscent of the robber-barons in the early 20th century. It really emphasizes the main theme of Trump's campaign. Secondly, Donald's son looks like a mini Donald! Which is definitely not creepy at all. And lastly, he was falling asleep pretty much the entire time. Which is hilarious. Donald's own son didn't want to hear his dad's speech. I'm also not surprised that little Donald had no self-control and was not paying attention (but that's none of my business).

What was your favorite part of the night? Comment below with something interesting that you noticed. Was it how Donnie blames China for all of America's problems? Or maybe how he honestly believes that American isolationism has been effective in the past and will be effective in the future? Maybe it was a funny tweet you saw under the hashtag "Famous Melania Trump Quotes"?

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.
