Millionaire Donald Trump surprised everyone when he decided to run for president back in June 2015. Unfortunately, he's known for filing for corporate bankruptcy a whopping four times and his inappropriate comments over the course of his professional life. Donald will tell you it has not been easy for him, he started out in Brooklyn and only received a rather small loan of $1 million from his father. Poor guy. He must have it hard. However, being a young person who is not wrapped up into politics, Mr. Trump has made his views known to the general public as a whole. Even if you don't know a lot about politics, we all know of his desire to build his wall (Mexico will pay).

1. When it comes to immigration, Mr. Trump is certainly the most radical in the field.

He famously accused Mexico of "engaging in a deliberate campaign" to send rapists and other criminals across the border.

2. As with his “make Mexico pay for the wall” plan, he’s argued that America should confront alleged currency manipulation by China by somehow charging them a tax.

3. He wants to eliminate corporate taxes entirely, end the estate tax, reduce capital gains taxes, and slash individual tax rates across the board.

So, basically, that's a 15 percent tax cut for those making over $1 million and a one percent tax cut for those making $30,000, or less. Hmm, now that doesn't seem fair does it.

4. He wants to create a universal health care eliminating the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Well, that seems pretty reasonable. A+ for Mr. Donald Trump because it separates him from the rest of the GOP candidates.

5.Trump supports recent Congressional efforts to ban abortion and recently called on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood in a recent interview.

Who needs women's healthcare, right?

6. According to him, women are essentially aesthetically pleasing objects.

Yes! Let's make this guy President if he doesn't even believe in my self-worth!

7. He tweeted back in 2013 that sexual assault in the military is totally expected if you put men and women together.

So, should we get on board with "making America great, again" with Mr. Trump as our leader? That is ultimately up to you to decide.

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.
