Trump Or Hillary?

There are other options.

Trump Or Hillary?

This presidential election has everyone scratching their heads. Should I vote for Donald Trump who has been accused of being a bigot and a racist, or Clinton who has been accused of being a liar and a criminal? There are those choosing not to vote at all. A wilder solution circulating the Internet is that everyone should just move to Canada.

There is this misconception that these two are your only options. There are other candidates running for office. Granted, it is not likely to have a third-party candidate as president, but it wasn't likely to have an African American president before Obama came in office either. If America truly dislikes the candidates for this year's election, then it should vote for a third-party candidate. The two top third-party candidates are Dr. Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

1. Dr. Jill Stein

Jill Stein is a candidate for the Green Party. She has ran for president before in the 2012 election on a third party ticket. She is in favor of a strong middle class and a Green New Deal. For more information on what Jill Stein stands for, visit onthissues.org.


2. Gary Johnson


Gary Johnson is the former governor of New Mexico. As governor, he won as a member of the Republican party in a Democratic state. He is currently running as a member of the Libertarian party. A more detailed account of his stance on political issues can be found at ontheissues.org.

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.
