Doomed if we do, doomed if we don't.

Why We're Doomed This Election

This election has definitely been one for the books. It is to the point now where a lot of people have the mindset of 'either or, we are screwed.' In the end, it is important that everyone in america is well-informed and votes to the best of their knowledge. Everyone has there own opinions and that is ok, but do not vote based on facts that will not benefit out country as a whole.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee being that he is the only one left. The same guy who Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, recently called a " textbook definition of a racist comment" is in the running to be the next president of the United States ... Interesting.

Paul Ryan made this remark after Donald Trump accused the judge for his recent case in federal court of being impartial because of his Mexican heritage. Trump claims that due to his campaign on illegal immigration, having a judge with a Mexican heritage has led to a unfair trial.

Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel does not believe that "one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial," he told CNN.

This is just another comment and stunt carried out by Donald Trumps racist agenda.I am not saying Hillary Clinton is innocent either. How both of these candidates made it this far scares me for americans.

Clinton is not a law abiding citizen nor is she honest. We have all known about the email scandal she has been involve with yet she is still a highly possible person to become our next president. We are still asking ourselves questions like "Why did she delete 30,000 emails from her internet service? Is she trying to hide even more from us? Did she send classified emails through a non-government sponsored server? Is it illegal to conduct a private email account for work purposed as the Secretary of State?" So many questions that are huge factors when deciding on who will be the next president of our country.

Hillary Clinton will most likely be the Democrat nominee. It will be officially announced in July. Bernie Sanders is not ready to accept the fact that it is most likely over for him so he'll just have to wait it out.

These are just one of the cons and they both have many many pros as well. Make sure to educate yourself before making a decision such as contributing to one of the most powerful people in the world!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
