What Happens Now?

The election has yet to come to a close.

What Happens Now?

The man that seemed to be what the majority did not want, won. Donald Trump our nation's 2016-2020 president. Promising to "Make America Great Again!" but in less than twenty-four hours of winning the presidency has already caused outrage in our nation and seemed to have made a horrible divide between the people. So, what happens now?

With protests going across the nation and now a "No Fly Zone" over the Trump Tower, the constant question most the nation has is, what will happen in January when Donald Trump actually becomes President of the United States.

With the nation at a huge divide there are many questions to be asked, what will happen with the LGBT community, what about the taxes, how long will he actually last as president, will Donald Trump really be that bad?

Trump has seemed to already propose many ideas about guns and what he wants to do with the taxes, making him very lovable in the republican eyes, but what will he give up to bring peace across the nation and bring light to the eyes of those who doubt him so much.

With Hillary and Obama claiming that she is supportive of Trump being President, eased a lot of democrats minds and made many more people likely to give Trump a chance before jumping to conclusions on that he is "horrible" and he will "ruin our nation".

The biggest problem now, is that we as American citizens have to come together rather than be at each other's throats over this election. Since the election ended, many people have been fighting and arguing over social media platforms and in person about the election. This election has made all of us forget that we as people make many of the decisions that happen in this country, that whether or not Donald Trump takes away every right we have, we can all fight together and compromise together to make America the great nation that we all know it is.

Obama stated that "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

Keeping that quote in mind we have to remember that we the people created America as the land of the free and the home of the brave, we are the people, the voters, the ones who make the changes, the ones who chose to work together to make our nation better. We as a nation will constantly be fighting for more rights, more freedoms, and we all need to decide together, will we let this election ruin us, or make up stronger? As living under one nation, we should fight for what is ours and recognize that we speak for America.

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.
