What A Time To Be Alive

When dreams become memes.

What A Time To Be Alive
Know Your Meme

It's such an amazing time to be alive right now. Not because of all the great technology avaliable to me in the 21st century, that is ever so slowly bringing us closer together as a species. Not becasue, thanks to the ubiquity of smart phones, all the information I could ever want is avaliable to me 24/7. Not becuase of the massive amounts of mulitmedia entertainment around to keep me perpetually entertained. It's a beautiful time to be alive in America becuase my two favorite things in this world just merged together: Politics and Dank Memes.

In a truely brilliant stroke of attempted millennial outreach, the Hillary Clinton Campaign made the assertion that Pepe the Frog is synonymous with White Supremecy. Understandably, defenders of Pepe were rather upset that their beloved manic frog was being linked, through Simone Biles caliber mental gymnastics, to White Supremecy. I, on the other hand, want to personally thank Hillary Clinton and her campaign becuase she just gave me an excuse to post the dankest Pepe memes I can find, in order to demonstrate the diversity of this classic gem, and make a relevant political statement using those memes. A rare oppurtunity, almost as rare as this actual White Supremecist Pepe that CNN made:


Pepe doesn't support the superiority of the white race, instead he supports motherhood:

Pepe is motivational

Pepe promotes friendship

Pepe is enjoyed by people of all ages

You can even use Pepe to help your campaign

Pepe is the conduit for social commentary

Pepe is even an inspirational basketball star

See Hillary Clinton, how can you say Pepe is a symbol of white supremacy when he stands for so much more? It couldn't be because your campaign is so out of touch with the world, especially millennials, that you aren't even aware of memes and internet culture, could it?

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.
