As we round the corner to the end of convention season, it has all finally become a reality: history has been made as a woman has secured the nomination for a major party. Oh also, the human equivalent of a dumpster fire utilizing only Mein Kampf as kindling secured the other nomination. So there’s that.

With all of the rhetoric and controversy that has surrounded Trump over the course of his turbulent election berth, I know that many of my colleagues are left scratching their heads and wondering (often aloud) “How could anyone ever vote for that man?”

Worry not my friends, that is the question that this guide will answer.

Step 1: Decide you’re mad. In fact, you’re mad as hell.

“I’m so mad I could kill a man with a banana!” - You, probably

Step 2: Decide that somebodyanybody?... everybody has to pay

Step 3: Realize that the best way to do the most collateral damage is by utilizing one of your most basic rights as a citizen of democracy and voting.

Step 4: Decide that you’re actively going to cast your vote vindictively. You aren’t just going to throw it away de facto by voting for a third party candidate.

Step 5: Obsessively inhale Fox News to really get into the right frame of mind.

Step 6: Hillary Clinton is literally the incarnation of the devil.

Step 7: Forget that Trump insulted Latinos.

Step 8: Forget that Trump insulted women.

Step 9: Forget that Trump insulted… Honestly, this is going to take too long. Just forget all of it. Literally, all of it. The failed businesses that screwed over employees, the multiple marriages, the brief stint on WWE. Just. Forget.

For those of you who didn’t know about this, you’re welcome.

Step 10: Begin to understand that facts are really just arbitrary.

Step 11: All lives matter!

Step 12: Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams!

Step 13: Look up who Mike Pence is.

Step 14: Decide that Mike Pence gets a pass on his voting record too.

Don’t look him in the eyes though, or he’ll give you whatever Trump gave him.

Step 15: Start to wonder why you don’t really seem to have that many minority friends anymore.

Step 16: Understand that Kim Jong Un, Saddam Hussein, and Vladimir Putin are just really misunderstood.

Step 17: Remember that anyone who disagrees with you is a loser.

Step 18: Get used to long, sleepless nights punctuated with night terrors and cold sweats.

“Hello Darkness, my old friend” — Art, Garfunkel, and you, probably

Step 19: Bake yourself a cake using your tears and the last pieces of your mortal soul. Sweeten to taste.

Step 20: Eat your cake and realize that life is really pointless as you cast your vote for America’s next (and possibly last) president.

There you have it! In 20 simple steps, you too can Make America Great Again! Probably.

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.
