You Don't Have To Like Her

Recently Oprah Winfrey, yes THE Oprah, endorsed Hilary Clinton by saying, "You don't have to like her!" Oprah explained that voting for Hilary is not an invitation for her to come over for dinner, but it is the right choice to make. If you like this country, you must vote and vote correctly.

This is the first time Oprah has vocally endorsed the Democratic candidate and she did so in an interview with a pastor. She explained her support for the candidate as, "“She’s not coming over to your house! You don’t have to like her." “You don’t have to like her. Do you like this country? Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote. Do you like the country? Do you like freedom and liberty? Do you like this country? OK. Do you like democracy or do you want a demagogue?" It is clear that Oprah does not stomach the thought of Donald Trump as President and she is right- you don't have to like her.

The election of the President of the United States should not be a popularity contest. You don't have to like Hilary Clinton as a person. You can hate her hair, her laugh and her pantsuits, but you have to realize that she has the knowledge, the background and the qualifications to run this country, even if it is only for four years until we find someone better to do the job. You don't have to have a sit down conversation with her, ever. You just have to put your support and your vote towards her and help this country escape the possibility of a Trump presidency.

Just like Oprah Winfrey, you don't have to agree with every idea Clinton has, but you have to admit she is at least reasonable when she comes with ideas. Hilary Clinton does not plan on deporting millions or building a fortress around the "land of the free." At the end of the day, there really isn't any choice. You do not have to like her, just be reasonable with your vote.

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.
