Why You NEED to Vote!
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

As you all may know we are entering the tail end of the 2016 presidential election, which will determine the 45th president of the United States. This election has been nothing more than a roller coaster ride. The debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has been quite the......lets just say experience, and we've been right in the middle of it. A lot of voters don't know whether to vote for Clinton or Trump, or either don't want to vote for Trump and is stuck all together. Well I'm here to tell you why you need to vote.

You need to vote because this election determines the very outlook of the country. I'm not going to discriminate nor say who I'm voting for, but I will say that one candidate seems to be more for the job. In order to be commander in chief for the position of president of these United States, you must be acquit and have some order of what you are going to do. I'm telling you the reader to get out and vote for the person you feel will lead this country to a safe path.

Another thing I would take in hand is of course your family. Which candidate do you feel is comfortable for taking care of your family. Over the past 4 years President Barack Obama has created over 15 million jobs, but even he will say that we have a bunch of work to do. Some citizens feel that nothing has been done in the fact of impacting their life or their neighborhood. So as citizens of the US we must elect a president who has family values and who will take the White House to new heights.

One more reason I feel you should get out and vote is the fact of our safety. As we all know a lot of stuff has been going on such as police brutality, gun violence, killings, etc. Now both candidates for the job have been tested when it comes to these sensitive subjects, but I can't stress enough how much one of them I would be just afraid if they were in power. This is a democracy not a dictatorship, that's all I'm going to say.

Go out and vote ladies and gentlemen, this election is very important and every vote matters. This election be apart of history and vote for the candidate you feel that will lead this country in the right path. Especially to my fellow citizens in North Carolina, I believe we've taken enough L's this year. Early voting is now currently going on, make a difference and mark your name in history.

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.
