A Millennial Voter

Lately, all I hear people talking about is politics, polls, and terrorist attacks. There are occurrences in this world that are out of our control, but we must at least practice our civil duty to vote. This Spring Break, as a young voter, I promised myself to learn more about the Presidential candidates.

I went to a bar the other day with my boyfriend, and all I heard people talk about and ask was, "Are you voting for Trump?" and of course I said "No." Who on their right mine would want to vote for a person who has created and promoted "hate" all over the media? He is such a sad man, it's disgusting.

As a young voter, I want to vote for a knowledgeable human who isn't as corrupt or cynical as Trump is.

ENOUGH ABOUT THIS MAN:

I think we have all talked about him enough! It is time to move on from this clown, and stop creating this platform for him to show disrespect towards every person on every level.


Also, the other night I went out for a late dinner, and I saw a group of high school students in a parking lot vandalize an old car by spraying F*** Trump on it. It is such a crazy thing to see young. people so outraged. Even though it is great that they care, we should still try to not create hate but just choose love. We all live in this country that gives us opportunities to have a voice, let's use it! We have to learn to accept each other, we all come from different backgrounds, why not just learn from one another instead of bringing people down?

I tend to be very optimistic with everything, so I guess the good thing we can learn about this upcoming election is the buzz it has created. Trump making young millennials angry is only going to make us want to vote and encourage our relatives to vote. We want our world to improve not to take 20 steps back into history. Clearly there are some people take need to go to College: Trump!

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.
