Who Do You Truly Think Is Best for America?

Many people complain about both candidates in this year's election. I see and hear it all the time how neither Clinton or Trump is fit to be president, how they are both terrible and we "have" to pick between the lesser of two evils.

My question to the nation then is: Why are you going to vote for either?

Well over half of the people I know, maybe even 3/4ths believe that both candidates are awful. Assuming that this rough statistic is true for all of Americans, this would be the perfect year to have a third party candidate win. I want America to have the president that America thinks is best fit. I think it is universally understood that the Electoral College is something that needs to go, however, if one candidate does no receive over half (270/538) of the electoral votes, then it is up to the House of Representatives to chose the president. If this happens, each state will gather their representatives to provide only one vote per state as to who the president should be. If this happens, there is a better chance that someone fit to be president in the eyes of Americans will become president.

What am I trying to say?

All I am saying is, simply vote for who YOU thing is best for America. Do not simply vote party lines, do not vote based on peer pressure. Please do not not vote, because by not voting you are simply letting others chose the fate of America for you. Research the candidates for who they really are, not just what you see on social media and the news. If you think a write-in is best, do that! Because if what I believe is true, that over half of Americans see neither candidate to be fit for the Oval Office, then neither of the candidates will be voted in office!

So go vote, vote for who you think is best. The only person who will know who you voted for is you.

I definately support Trump, I think he is the best option for America right now. However, I want the president to be whoever America thinks is best for America right now.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
