Why I'm Writing In My Dog's Name For The Presidential Election
Catherine Craig

As we get closer and closer to election day, you can't help to wonder why a criminal and a bully are leading in the Democratic and Republican parties. Recently, Cruz and Kasich have both left the GOP and now Trump will become the Republican nominee. As a republican myself, I am terrified. This twisted feeling of how terrible my future is looking with these two leading candidates is my inspiration to write my dog's name in during the election next fall.

My dog, Jenna Craig (please do not mock her name and call her "Jenny Craig"; she is very sensitive and as her partner-in-crime, I would have to be the one to comfort her), is a blonde labrador, but don't be concerned–she's quite intelligent. In addition, she doesn't dye her hair or tans till she is orange: She wants the people to know she is the real deal. Jenna is a lovable and kind-hearted dog. She won't make Mexico build a wall to secure the boarder, she'd rather use unemployed US citizens to improve what we already have.

Jenna is royalty in her household and is spoiled with attention, however she will never let her crown be a reason to look at people like they are peasants. No, she has never owned numerous businesses, but maybe that's a good thing because she doesn't have an ego bigger than the Trump Tower! Jenna is a great listener. She believes that the people should have their voices heard and the federal government needs to shrink. Her goal as a president is to be for the people while maintaining America's relationship with other countries. She understands how important it is to be socially Liberal, but she also knows the US debt is very high and the country needs to remain fiscally Conservative.

Believe me, millennials will love her. Unlike Hillary, Jenna doesn't have to try hard to be liked by the millennial generation. She won't act phony to persuade the minority communities for their vote, she loves everybody the same. Truthfully, if "Mean Girls" was "Mean Dogs", Jenna would have been the cool mom, so why not vote for her?!

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.
