Let's Make America Whole Again


I began writing this days after the election as I was so distraught over the election results.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble of the United States Constitution(1787)

breathe. all will be well is what everyone keeps telling the crying children of immigrant parents, the people of LGBQT communities, african americans, and anyone that cares about these groups of people. why are so many people so distraught? `As of Wednesday morning November 9, 2016, donald trump was announced the next president of the United States of America. Granted, he won't officially be the president until January 20, 2017. BUT he still resides as the next president until 2020.

some keep saying at this point what's to be done, "let's keep on keeping on". No. let's not. let's contemplate what America just did and how this could have happened.

donald john trump is 70 years old. He was born In New York City in 1946. He grew up in an upper-class family. He got his bachelor's in economics. His father "gave him a small loan of a million dollars". He is a business man, a hollwyood star, and producer... but nowhere in his resume does he provide the qualifications to run a country or even be in politics at all. He announced he would run for the presidency June 2015. Still early enough in the election process, the Republican party had many runners for the presidency. One by one many began to drop out of the race within the following year. By July 2016 the only two candidates left were donald trump and Hillary Clinton. donald trump was endorsed by the Republican party while hillary Clinton was endorsed by the democratic party.

Now, July 2017, I reflect on the seven months of this man's presidency. Has he fulfilled his promises? Has he stopped tweeting non comprehensive tweets?(yes the president tweets when he's angry how childish) Does he still believe in "Fake News"? Yes, you CNN. Well this what I've gathered through numerous articles and news stories(some even by the famous "Fake News" CNN. He has fulfilled some of his campaign promises. Depending on how you feel about him that could be good or bad. His tweets are still misogynistic and offensive.




This was tweeted in May!! The audacity the president has to call out credible news castors and news sites as "Fake News". its disgusting.

Donald Trump can not be allowed to run for another term. As a country, we the people owe it to ourselves to do better.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
