As the election for president continues

The Prospect Of The "Alternative" Candidate

It is learning the middle to end of April and the Presidential campaign like the weather is only getting warmer and more annoying for people. It is amazing to think that we have come this far and there still is changing debate about who the nominees from acc party will be.

On the one hand, the Democratic racing is getting more and more interesting as Bernie Sanders finds his first significant and prolonged strides back into the race. The Last seven wins by Sanders have had largely unfortunate effects on the Clinton campaigns 'viability' for the General Election run. At the same time, Donald Trump on the Republican side is facing more and more critique from the republican party about his long term viability to beat either Sanders or Clinton in a general election.

There also seems to be an underling problem with delegate allocation especially on the republican side where the Trump camp stood surprised to relinquish delegates that they thought they had earned fair due to winning a majority of the peoples vote in the states they won. The reality here being that there is a disparity between the common cause for the peoples choice and vote and the way the establishment allocates delegates in association with those votes This has lead Trump to begin calls for unfair treatment and a rally for the people to stand up for they right to be heard through their right to vote.

On the democratic side, it might seem that Sanders last seven wins might be helping to fuel his fiery side against Clinton; the bottom line being that his new approach is working and his campaign message has never been more universally understood.

From all this change that seems to be occurring in the race right now one thing that is clear is that the "alternative" candidate is making strides to win their parties nomination and the idea of having an "outsider" or "non-establishment" based candidates in the general election is becoming more of a reality with each primary win.

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.
