I Can't Wait Until My Generation Runs The Country

I am not at all afraid for my generation to take over political roles to represent us as a country, as states, and as people. I have an unmatched trust in my peers who will become educators because I believe they will teach not only out of the book but also lessons like inclusivity, kindness, and generosity. I believe in the nurses and doctors who will treat each patient not only with their knowledge but with fairness and a kind and understanding heart.

We are the generation that is going to turn everything around.

We are the ones who will make the changes. We've seen and experienced too much brutality and unfairness to still have cold hearts. We are now warm toward the people and ideas we were lead to hate and disapprove of. My generation took the opportunity to finally see people as people and allowed them to be who they wanted to be.

We are the ones who have best friends who are immigrants.

We are the ones whose significant others are a different race or ethnicity.

We are the ones whose siblings are apart of the LGBTQ community.

We are the ones who are traveling the world and want to learn more about other cultures and countries.

We are the ones who created bonds instead of burning bridges.

We are the ones who support, uplift, and empower one another.

We are the ones with open minds and understanding hearts.

The world is about to be brighter, and my generation will lead us there.

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.
