Prevail, America.

We shouldn't give up just yet.

Now that Donald Trump is on the road to becoming our POTUS, America's biggest concern is: What will we do now? What is our next step? Well, the answer is simple. "We The People" need to come together and take matters into our own hands. Let's use this opportunity to turn this catastrophe into a sour patch kid, which I recall is first sour then sweet!

The citizens of the United States have the power to make real, substantial change. Do not get so caught up in disappointment that you forget about other political offices. We still have senators, the House of Representatives, as well as checks and balances. Yes, Trump may elect his own judges and cabinet, but, in the end, our differences that Donald tries to repress can help fuse us together and allow us to prevail through this time of political crisis. This brings forth Americans' abilities to use intellect and freedom of speech to protest and make the world aware of our discontent with our government.

In the notorious, anti-political movie, V for Vendetta, a character stated: "The people should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people." At least someone got it right! America, we need to grasp this hidden message with intentions to keep moving forward.

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.
