12 Things To Do Instead Of Giving Donald Trump The Time Of Day

So, here you are reading another article with a 2016 presidential candidate's name in the title. Everywhere we look these days, people are bashing them, loving them, bringing up old scandals, or talking about how impossible their ideas are. The list goes on and on. Discussions about Donald Trump seem to be a new American pastime these days. He's constantly making rude, sexist, racist remarks and what are we doing about it? We're talking about how angry it makes us every day.

Why are we even giving this man the time of day? The younger generations generally don't like him. We get it. The more sh*t we talk, the more mouths his name is in, and the more that he wins. So, here are some things that you can do instead of wasting your time, energy, and that precious social media space of yours.


1. Watch "24" from start to finish.

Six days and two hours, that's how long it would take to get through the series and you would still be more productive than posting more nonsense about your opinions on Donald Trump.


2. Attend an Abraham Lincoln look-alike convention.

There's one in Columbus, Ohio. You can be amongst hundreds of Abraham Lincolns at the same time! Be a part of the reenactments, speeches, and endless fun that is clearly far more entertaining than thinking about Donald Trump!


3. Get a prairie dog and reenact your favorite TV show.

Who doesn't love a prarie dog Amy Poehler?


4. Bring back the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Nothing says activism like dumping a bucket of ice on your head to spread awareness about a disease that you know very little about. Bringing back this 2014 trend would still be more positive than spreading more opinions about Donald Trump throughout the Internet.


5. Be impressed that Vince Vaughn is a white belt.

Go on Youtube and check it out.


6. Check out this Instagram of two awesome goats.

They're Just two goats trying to make it in life, which is something that we all can relate to, unlike Donald Trump


7. Be one of those people who watch cat videos.


8. Request a stalker for a day.

You heard me right. Did you know that you can actually download an app that allows you to obtain a real-life follower for a day? Who needs social media followers when you can have a real-life one?


9. Find a cool recipe on Pinterest.


10. Realize that you can't cook and that it was a horrible idea to even try.


11. Learn about some stoner nuns.

Located in California, a few awesome photographers hung out with these marijuana-advocate nuns for a day. Unlike Donald Trump, here's something that you actually don't see every day.


12. Seriously, just do anything other than continually talk about Donald Trump.

Let's stop this madness. He's going to continue to say things that will get a rise out of you. Just ignore it and don't even waste your breath.

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.
