Seven Hobbies To Take Up While Our Country Falls To Shambles

AKA my in-depth analysis of how to become a human mannequin

So you’ve probably already heard, but his highness, Donald J. Trump, is going to be our leader in a few short days. So, with that in our minds, I have created a list of hobbies that you can take upon during these next long four years of literal hell.

1. Knitting

Who doesn’t love to knit? It’s relaxing, cheap, and now you have a gift for mom on Mother’s Day. Perhaps first learn to knit scarves, and then gradually progress into making an entire knit mural of the American people’s hopes and dreams being crushed!



2. Beekeeping

What is better than keeping bees, producing butt loads of honey all while wearing a gigantic net over your head? NOTHING. Beekeeping is the shit, and it will definitely be your new hobby while Donald Trump literally and metaphorically pisses on the American population. Side-note: the possibility of being stung multiple times is inevitable, but it will probably be nothing like the sting of debt you will feel from the entire GOP.



3. See how long you can grow your leg hair

During the next four years, ladies, I challenge you to break these goddamn gender stereotypes and stop the shaving! And it’ll probably gross out Mr. Trump because of how nasty we all are (and I mean, better get used to not shaving anyways since there will be no shaving once the world ends).



4. Become a human mannequin

Okay weird, but still valid. At least as a plastic doll you won’t be aware of the disarray surrounding you. Plus, you’ll get to wear hella cute clothes for four years if you transition your mannequin services to a fun department store.



5. Set up a meth lab!

We’ve all seen Breaking Bad. SPOILER ALERT: all you really need is an old van and some fancy scientific ~cylinders~, and voila: you have meth. It’s great profit, and the risk is totally worth it. I mean, what will you have to live for once we have a human Cheeto in office?



6. Become an expert in hosting tea parties

But instead of tea, serve the tears of the people of the United States. They will be plentiful, I promise.



7. Write, direct, and star in your own TV show

I feel like cringe-comedy would be the best for this, (à la The Office). Start by filming your daily tasks, daily routines, etc. Then obviously it will gradually transform into something darker, but still with a lighthearted tone! Send it to the CW and you’ve got yourself some solid teen girl viewership. You’ll realistically fit in a total of 6 seasons (if you do bi-yearly seasons). Try to end it in a dramatic way that’s still comedic (before we all get blown up by some other country).

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
