Six Things that Won't Change after Elections

Tomorrow, America will be irrevocably changed. Obama will be on his way out of office and Trump, Hillary, Johnson, or Stein will be on their way in. Policies will be changed; new supreme court justices elected; judicial orders may (or may not) be reversed.

With all that change, here is a list of six things that will stay constant.

1. Your best friends, you know the ones you've had since kindergarten, or fifth grade, or college, the ones who have seen you through thick and thin. They'll still be there when you break up, or get married, or graduate.

2. Ice cream will still be amazing in all of its different flavors and textures.

3. Your childhood memories, the good, the bad, the ugly, will remain intact. You'll remember when you had bees as pets, or that time you rode an elephant with those people you can't remember, or that summer trip to Costa Rica.

4. Swimming will still be an amazing pass time. Whether swimming to you means tanning by the pool or chicken fighting with your brothers, it will still be the best way to pass the slow summer time.

5. Home cooked meals will still make you salivate. Especially if, like me, you're away at school and your mom is a plane ride away.

6. Thanksgiving will still be on its way! And you'll get to see old best friends and make new memories and eat that home cooked meal (or take out Chinese, whatever tradition you seem to have).

Don't get too down. Remember, November is a month of thankfulness so, even though our country's future might be rocky, take a moment to celebrate the things that won't change.

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.
