President-Elect Joe Biden Is Just The 'Average Joe' Democrats Need In Office

In stark contrast to the elitism and wealth the Trump administration has projected, the Biden administration is a breath of fresh air. A man from a middle-class family who many Americans can look up to is finally taking office in the White House.

Regardless of your political affiliation, members of both sides have waited patiently the results of the 2020 presidential election. That day has finally come and Joe Biden is our president-elect.

Whether you support him or not, Biden will be taking office on January 20, Inauguration Day, and the contrast between him and President Donald Trump is huge.

Just the way Biden holds himself and respects others is refreshing to both see and hear. After four long years of hearing lie after lie come out of President Trump's mouth, Biden's respect and grace aren't just welcomed, they are needed.

Although both parties hold people of varying incomes, the Democrats look up to the fact that wealth won't be the only thing Biden sees in people. In Trump's years in office, he has favored people of a higher wealth over people that brought in a lower income.

After the last four years of craziness, America has had to endure, a change is necessary. Having your "average Joe" in office (yes, literally), is what many Americans want, but more importantly, need.

Policy aside, Biden is a good, respectful man. His selflessness especially shined when the cameras stopped rolling after his town hall on ABC. While Trump left the stage immediately (on a different network, NBC), Biden stayed and talked to members of the audience personally. I think Trump lacks empathy and respect for other humans, while Biden truly cares about Americans, regardless of the political party.

At many of his speeches, Biden has even said that regardless of your political party, he will work equally as hard for each side.

Would you ever hear that out of President Trump's mouth?

I haven't.

That is the difference between these two men.

Biden's selflessness, charm, grace, kindness, and respect have put him far over the finish line of winning the White House. I believe he will work for ALL Americans. That is what matters. President-elect Joe Biden is the change Americans need in their lives. We need a break from the craziness Trump has put us through.

America needs a normal four years. We have waited long enough, and are more than deserving. I welcome Biden to lead the country, and I hope for a new beginning.

Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or independent, let's put all prejudice aside and give President-elect Joe Biden a fair chance to turn the country around.

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.
