Why young voters matter.

Terrible Trump, Not So Classy Clinton, And Miracle Millennials

An election has a way of pulling the worst out of our nation, and the upcoming 2016 election is no different. We have all heard about a terrifying Trump, or a not so classy Clinton, as likely party nominees. One of them will take office.

The majority of voters, specifically 20-somethings, have said that they just flat out do not want to vote in the 2016 election or will move out of the country. I hate to break it to you but moving out of the country will not fix all of your political issues. It's never going to be perfect, there will not be a perfect political safe haven. I know that it's difficult to find a person whom best matches your political views, I am struggling with that as well. But you have a say, your vote matters and the best way to make a difference is to vote!

Some of the more extreme things nominees on both sides have said, will not happen because of the checks and balances our country has. I encourage young voters to look at the less extreme parts of each nominee's plans, because those are the parts that matter. Then, pick who you think will best serve our country. Your vote matters, so I urge you to vote!

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.
