The 2016 Presidential Election: Go Vote

The 2016 Presidential Election is now. Are you going to step up to the plate and vote or are you going to keep your opinion to yourself and leave others to decide America's future for you? Get out there and vote, because your opinion matters.

As citizens of the United States, you have the right of free speech. It might not seem like any new information, but this freedom that we have is a big deal. Some countries do not have the option to voice their opinions or thoughts, especially about government issues, but you do! Don't take your rights for granted, because others envy how you live and the freedoms that you have.

You should vote in the 2016 Presidential Election, because if you do not then you don't have the right to complain about the results. If you are allowed to vote I would recommend that you do so because every vote counts. If you vote, you have the right to complain or discuss the outcome of the election, but if you do not vote you should not complain because you had the chance to voice your opinion.

Elections are important, even when the candidates are not favorable for many. Look up information on each candidate and reach a conclusion on who best fits your ideals and vote for them. Not one candidate is going to believe in the same thing that you do for all areas, but one will be a closer match to what you believe in than others. Educate yourself and pick who you think is the better fit to run our Country.

Educate yourself before you vote, and vote! Let America hear what you have to say!

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.
