Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words?

Trump already showed us who he is

On November 9th Trump was announced to be the next President of the United States of America. A lot of U.S. citizens were devastated at the shocking results because they thought Trump was certain to lose the election. I remember I stayed up till about 1:30 AM and fell asleep, but I kept waking up to see if they had the final results of the election. Finally at 3:00 AM, I woke up for a fifth time and saw that he won. I had no energy for a reaction because I was too tired to even continue watching. I see some people are giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, and on Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappell hosted and said he was willing to give Trump a chance.

I would really like to give Trump a chance. Really, I would like to, but it’s very difficult to try and look over the things he has said during the Presidential race. Racist comments, making fun of a disabled man, grabbing women by the…. It’s hard to see past that. I’ve heard some say that they agree his words have been harsh, but they will wait and see what he does during his presidency. I’ve heard many times before if someone shows you who they are, believe them. Trump is now electing representatives to work besides him, but they are white supremacist. It’s not looking too good so far. People who are for Trump really have no clue about what this country is about in today’s society. The fact that people from different countries moved here and worked hard to make a living, helped build this country to what it is.

For the evangelicals that voted for him because they believe so much in what he stands for, I personally believe is selfish. Without a second thought of the well being of Muslims, without a second thought of the well being of Mexicans, without the thought of the well being of Blacks. Did you think that they deserve a chance of fairness in this country? A chance to live, and a chance to survive? What happened to love one another as you love yourselves? I think Trump will show us his actions, and it will match his words.

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.
