This is how I feel the presidential election is going down. (Notice the lack of attention to detail with the Pokecards. Keep this in mind when considering the length of your opinions, should you choose to comment on this matter.)

She just goes back and forth until she lands on what the majority of people seem to want to hear. Also, she is a renowned globalist who achieves economic advancement through exploitation and corruption of government.

I grew up watching "The Apprentice." Catchy intro. Dramatic board rooms. Other shit. Trump is currently really popular with people who are Fed *cough* up with the establishment, but don't know what they should actually be doing about it. I am afraid that people do not consider the rest of the world. Trump is an icon of hate in the eyes of other nations. What will this mean for foreign diplomacy efforts? At least he isn't corrupt like Hillary... (insert highly aware "Batman"/"Dark Knight Rises" construction scheme reference.)

Bernie Sanders. Fuck. I will admit, I was hopeful. Thought he was a good guy. Maybe he is? What does it matter? He has called it quits and is endorsing Hillary.

THAT BEING SAID! While every anti-Hillary douche is complacently complaining, this bitch took a quarter of a billion dollars in "speaking fees" from her fucking intern Bernie. But whatever.

Dr. Jill Stein has taken a page out of Hillary's playbook. By copying all of Bernie Sanders' basic approaches to organizing individuals, she hopes to just bait and switch all of his followers into the Green Party. Their brownies are fucking delicious, BTW. Unfortunately, she has no connection to the corporations (the current energy infrastructure) and thus no leverage for negotiating change on behalf of the American people. Why does this matter? Well, some of the industries invested in human health are difficult to work with at times, as their jobs are quite important.

Gary Johnson Is the only candidate running who emphasizes any significant reduction of the federal government. That being said I feel his views are often misunderstood by the public. Deregulation is the only thing that makes sense. Markets work, I've done the math (I have a degree in economics), there is nothing to worry about... *cue spooky music*


The U.S. is, in fact, most influenced by its most enriched and powerful entities. Whether that be a man such as Bill Gates, a corporation such as Apple or a political party like the Democrats.

Only 9 percent of America chose Hillary and Trump in the primaries.

Voting for any of the aforementioned politicians is just a vote for continuing down a almost identical path of colonization and interdependence-economies of governance under a totalitarian dictatorship at the hands of those few who maintain the energy, healthcare, education and monetary systems that provide nearly all of the goods and services used in today's society.

The only chance we have as a nation to achieve unity and peace is to organize. It goes beyond cheering for one old man. ("Those were the days.")

The world is how it is because nobody cares. Nine percent of people care about the two evils. That means 91 percent should have made a change and elected a new candidate during the primaries. We barely bent the narrative to a competitive alternative to one portion of the 9 percent. Bernie became a release for the built-up energy of uncertainty and frustration induced on any patient unfortunate enough to consume the mainstream media in this sick country.

But being an activist is not about cursing out these people and trying to take off their heads. Most of us don't consider what we actually provide to "society." What is our electrical worth? How much WiFi, air conditioning, fast food, gasoline, etc. are you worth? You may not have chosen to come into this life, but how long are you going to keep buying iPhones before you move off the grid or raise your own cattle?

We as the populous need to form a line of communication that helps shed light on the perspective of those currently oppressed by the fundamental structure of the current paradigm. We need to demand change in a sense of velocity. Term limits? Let's talk about this. We need to make changes quickly, and nobody is looking at the arbitrary numbers that define many of the barriers in our decision making bodies and agencies.

This country needs transparency, but its citizens are currently too entitled and uneducated to handle the truth

Let's talk about how nobody needs an economics degree to be president, but they all have to debate it.

Let's talk about inflation.

Let's talk about the minimum wage.

I've heard the stuff they talk about on the television.

Let's talk about something else.

What do you want to talk about?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
