Walking over the Lexington avenue bridge at Hunter College I overheard a brief conversation of a few undergraduate students. One of the students said, “So guys, Donald trump?” Another student quickly responded saying, “ He is dumb," and the group of friends started laughing. I stayed around not to be a creep but to listen to the conversation following her comment. Unfortunately, there was no conversation relating to Donald trump. Somehow the conversation switched to the new Chinese restaurant on 72nd.

According to an article on U.S News only 49% of young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 voted in the presidential campaign. Let me repeat: only 49% of young adults voted in the presidential campaign of 2012. I believe that this is why voter turn-out among young adults is so low; young adults have points of view without evidence or reasoning.

So in an effort to help increase the number of young adult voters, here are 10 Donald Trump quotes that highlight his position on certain policy issues. You should know about these before you make a decision about his mental capacity. Furthermore, have a conversation about why you believe what you believe. Without a following conversation, your statement “He is dumb” is irrelevant, just like a thesis without any supports.

  • Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health. (Jun 2015)
  • No gay marriage; no same-sex partner benefits. (Mar 2011)
  • Legalize drugs and use tax revenue to fund drug education. (Apr 2011)
  • Climate change is a hoax. (Jun 2015)
  • I am against gun control. (Feb 2011)
  • We need wall on Mexican border, but ok to have a door in it. (Aug 2015)
  • Half of the undocumented residents in America are criminals. (Jun 2015)
  • Let “saints” help teen moms; restrict public assistance. (Jul 2000)
  • If debt reaches $24T, that's the point of no return. (Jun 2015)

And finally..

  • If I run and win, our country will be great again. (Feb 2011)

So you are the one to decide whether or not Donald Trump is dumb. Hopefully the rest of the 51% of young adults stand up for what they believe in and realize they do have the power to take action and more importantly it is not only their right but also their duty to do so.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
