SNL Shouldn't Be Under Fire

Sorry Trump, but I support SNL

There's a lot of talk going around saying that the show SNL: Saturday Night Live is messing up Trump's administration. What's interesting is, the only people who are upset are the people who are a part of the Trump administration.

Basically, SNL did some skits that pertained to the craziness of Trump's new orders. There were multiple skits that were geared to both Spicer and Kellyanne Conway. In those skits, they were basically portraying them how they saw them. There have been times where people didn't understand why Conway and Spicer were acting the way they did in front of the camera. Some things that they did were questionable because no one would have expected them to act the way they did. There was one particular skit that is getting a lot of attention, the Spicer skit. In this skit, Spicer is being played by Melissa McCarthy and she is portraying Spicer as a loud, mean, and rude Press Secretary. In all actuality, that portrayal of him was pretty accurate. If one was to watch the video of when Spicer was raising his voice at the press, they would see that Spicer was being pretty loud, mean, and rude.

As for Conway, SNL always portrayed her as someone who speaks dryly, at least that's what I got out of it. There is one skit that is under fire, the skit where they are remaking a movie scene. Some people were mad because Conway was portrayed as a sex-crazed woman. But my personal favorite skit was when it was her day off and she was still called into work. Many of the skits that pertain to Conway are funny.

SNL is a well-known television show that has been on for over forty years; the majority of their skits are politically so I don't know why people are getting upset. Trump's administration knew what they were getting themselves into because well before he was elected, Trump was being bashed on SNL. So, everything that SNL is doing, they should keep it up. I love the fact that SNL is an amazing show and their portrayals are worth watching.

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.
