It's not all bad you know

With the massive amount of media outlets and thousands of ways to get current news, there are some misconceptions about what is really going on in the political world. Whether you support Trump or not, there are millions of things that him and his cabinet, along with the entire government, are going to propose, sign and put into action. However, with the negative outlook that surrounds our 45th president, it’s difficult to get the positive and useful information out to the American people. So in Trump’s first week of presidency, here are some positive things that were done that the media most likely didn’t bring to your attention.

1. He reopened the possibility of reviving the Alaskan pipeline projects. Although controversial, this pricey project would increase production in the United States, start to improve climate issues, and supply jobs to thousands along the way. And to make matters even better- he stated that all steel used in the process must be American made.

2. He's opened up new foreign communications and possible foreign affairs with leaders and world's most powerful government. This not only increases business options and foreign support for emergency situations, but it also opens up endless possibilities for the US to explore foreign options. He's working with Russia's Putin and even North Korea's Kin Jong Un.

3. Trump is working to strengthen our borders, minimizing illegal immigration and stopping the influx of refugees fleeing to America. With our national debt increasing, we don't have the funds to support those who enter our country illegally. Although super controversial, it's something that needs to be done that the Obama administration got out of hand.

4. Trump formed a plan to defeat ISIS. He and his foreign affairs and homeland security aides created the NSC memorandum in order to plan out a cohesive plan in order to take down ISIS and protect America.

So although the media works its complete hardest to display Trump as an inexperienced nut job that will lead America to its death, there are good things that he's doing. If you dig deep enough, you'll find them.

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.
