Trump Trumps Hillary

If you are one of the millions of people devastated by Hillary Clinton’s recent loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, you aren’t alone. In the time since November 8th, many have taken to social media to voice their sorrows on Clinton’s loss. What seemed like a sure fire win for Ms. Clinton turned into a nightmare for many.

If you are one of the millions of people overjoyed by Donald Trump’s recent win in the 2016 Presidential Election, you aren’t alone. In the time since November 8th, many have taken to social media to voice their excitement about Trump’s win. What seemed like an accepted defeat for Mr. Trump turned into quite the different reality.

Whether you were supporting Trump or Clinton in the election, the reality is that Trump is going to replace Barack Obama as our president. It’s time to accept America’s fate and have faith in our next leader. While Trump is brash and didn’t have the gentlest approach or appeal to voters, he will have the best interests of Americans at the palm of his hands for the next four years. Did Hillary try to appeal to the middle class better….absolutely. Did she have more political experience….without a doubt. But is that to say that she would do a better job than Donald Trump….no. Trump is not in office yet and there is no telling what the upcoming years will have in store.

For all we know, Donald Trump’s years of business skills, world wide connections, and outgoing personality could actually benefit the United States. The collective groan that comes with the name Trump in nearly half of the American population is premature at best. By proclaiming “Not my President”, the American people are simply showing a disconnected nation that in turn, shows weakness to external and internal threats. Instead of mourning a politician’s loss or celebrating their victory, we should be celebrating America, and not just on Fourth of July with hot dogs and fireworks. The United States is a pretty awesome country with deeply rooted values, and no political figure can change the passion of the people.

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.
