Whew. Ok. What. An. Election.

You might be super happy, you might be super pissed. But hey, bud, lets talk about all the election swag you've been wearing for 8 months. What are you going to do with it all? The posters, magnets, caps, stickers, buttons, mugs, phone cases...it's a bit much. Don't you think? Here are just a few of the things you can do with them.

Create a Keepsake

Embrace your inner hoarder. You go ahead and collect all the buttons and stickers people have thrown away from candidates that just didn't make it. After all, this was a hard-fought race, we should celebrate the candidates that worked for our votes. Forget the haters and continue to rock that Jill Stein sticker on your bumper: you'll get some looks, but let's just say that its jealousy.

Scrapbook It. It's History

Regardless of who wins, it is history. Regardless of who loses, its also history. Put those stickers and flyers in a scrapbook to save for years to come. Your kids and grand kids will definitely be bored when you talk about how you voted in the most important election ever.

Sell Them

Those pins that you spent $3 on? Yeah, save them and sell them. You can actually buy sets of pins for upwards of $50. That's a profit right there! Don't you think people will want to remember this election for years to come? Uh, yeah, me neither.

Throw It Away

I think we can all agree, this election has been a wash. Lets throw away/burn all evidence of the 2016 election and start fresh in 2020.

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.
