The floor at the convention on Monday had moments of organized chants of, "roll call vote, roll call vote," along with yelling and disarray. All part of an attempt to hold a vote from all of the delegates on a motion that is necessary before the convention can officially begin.

The idea behind the opposition is to create a process that time-consuming for the convention and would thus lead to delays and hold ups for scheduled speakers, "the Trump family," and performers, "the Trump family".

Shortly after the disruption, a voice vote was conducted of ayes and nays as opposed to the roll call that would officially record the vote.

This is all attributed to an effort to prevent and create problems in the nomination of Donald J. Trump.

Although a lot of noise was created during the first few hours of the convention, the attempt failed and Trump staffers and supporters managed to swindle their way through state delegates to convince them to change their minds on the push for a roll call vote.

Out of what we've seen so far with delegates in support of Trump yelling, "USA, USA, USA," and delegates in opposition clearly dissatisfied with their options and proceeding with chanting with their fists held high, this might be the beginning of a very lengthy convention process and The Donald's road to a nomination.

Even with a fraction of the party still opposing the ideas and legitimacy of the Trump campaign, there very well may be just enough support to create further hiccups in the coming days but giving the overwhelming support Trump has gained within the Republican Party, it seems inevitable that the nomination will proceed without delay.

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.
