Please Stop Trying To Protest The Outcome Of The Election
wikimedia.org

Alright, I think that the election hype has died down enough for me to write this article. Donald J. Trump is our president. Let me say that again, Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States. If that still resonates with you as a negative sentence, please listen to it until it doesn't effect you. See, Donald Trump is not going to be that bad.

Now, this isn't me supporting Donald Trump. I do not like the man whatsoever. I did not vote in this election because I could not support either candidate, so all the Hillary supporters can be just as upset at me right now. Basically, my mindset was that our country was going to be worse off no matter who was elected because Obama is the homie.

Regardless, Donald Trump is the President-Elect. He has been elected President of the United States by the people of America. Not many people are pleased about this, but I am sure that almost the same number of people, if not more are pleased about the results. I mean, a majority of the American people elected him president. Just because they aren't on social media doesn't mean that they don't exist.

To this point of this article: the people who are complaining and protesting about Donald Trump being elected need to stop.

I have already stated that I am not a Trump fan. Not by a long shot. I think Donald Trump is a sexist, a bigot, and egomaniac, and a selfish bastard. I do not want him running our country, but he is. Regardless of my desires, he is running the country, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Your blacked out twitters will not change this fact. Although I respect that fact that you do not want Donald Trump as president and you will inconvenience your own lives to illustrate this point, you are not going to change this. Although I will always support the fact for you to protest Donald Trump, you will not be able to change the outcome the election. Additionally, wearing a safety pin will not change the election. You will get your point across loud and clear which is absolutely respectable, but you will not change the outcome of the election.

Our country is a democracy for a reason. We voted for the president, and we need to deal with the outcome. This doesn't mean we need to like it, and this doesn't mean you can't protest the atrocity of a president Donald Trump will make, but this does mean you cannot protest the outcome of the election. I hate to be that guy, but if you are going to complain about the outcome of the election and ask for it to be changed for the next four years, please leave this country. We elected Donald Trump, whether you like it or not, and you cannot change that fact.

That is all I have to say on the matter. I am not happy that Donald Trump has been elected president, by any means. However, I respect the system and I understand that there is nothing we can do to change this, nor should we. Our country is the greatest in the world for our freedom, and this is an inherent principle of this freedom. Protest Trump's idiocy all you wish, but please shut up about trying to change the election. Thank you.

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.
