This Election Was A Joke

This is my opinion of this joke.

This Election Was A Joke
CNN

This article may offend some people, but I am voicing my opinion. I have the right to do so.

I am outraged by the election. I am outraged because we were faced with two candidates and had to choose the lesser of two evils. It is sad that my candidate was not given a choice. People did not want to hear what he had to say because he was not about drama. He wanted what was best for America.

I want to know why my great grandfather is weeping because of this election. Of his 76 years of life he has never been more disappointed. The American people choose a sexist, racist, bigoted jerk over someone who lied about emails. It is ridiculous. How many of you have lied before? How many of you have hid things from people? I suppose that a woman was too superior to America. Trump will target the minorities, and it is not going to go well.

I can just hope that Trump will not be as bad as I expect. I want to be proved wrong. Show me that you will not put America down the drain. Show me that minorities will not have to be scared to walk out their front door.

If we survived Nixon and Bush we can survive this. It is time to speak up and to stop suppressing each other. We will get through this. For God's sake, fight the system.

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.
