The Tweets That Described This Election As A Whole

The real winner of this election was not Trump or Hilary, but social media. Social media's presence has been pretty hype during the last couple presidential elections, but I feel this year it was very high. Ever since the debates started, people in the U.S alone have sent over 1 billion tweets from until today according to the Twitter blog. Just today up until 6:00pm, according to BuzzFeed, 25 million tweets have been tweeted. Since I am such a Twitter user myself, I am going to show you the tweets from throughout these last two days (Election Day, Election Night, and The Day After) that have made me chuckle, cry, and angry. Bet you can't tell which ones those are!

Optimistic hope for next election

Future looks bleak

A Tribute to R.E.M.

At least we can say this election is historical in one way

Even the Canadians are scared

Comparing this election to a video game is genius

Laugh at it for the puns

Everyone against Florida like

EVERYONE IS CRYING

From the other presidential elect

Sorry baby girl, this is real life

One reason to watch the election

I hope we make it to see the new Acceptance record (BTW Acceptance is a super solid band, go check them out!)

At least we can be thankful for doing our civic duty

When doing your civic duty takes sacrifice

Everyone's feellings

Short, sweet, to the point

Short, sweet, to the point pt 2

This is what people are saying after the election

From the new president himself

Numbers don't lie

Trying to one up

Trying to call home

The hashtags speak

Unclear how this will play out in the future

Waiting on the next election

Chuck Norris for president

Make America Punk Again

Concerned for our health

Putting our hope in God is the only thing that we as Christians have left to do

Last but not least, a tweet of my own

That tweet of mine seriously sums of the difficulty I had finding "funny" tweets. Nobody thinks this election is funny anymore. This is now the reality. I'm not going to get too political. I'm just going to say, I'm really scared for America.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
