If you have not seen the latest SNL Weekend Update: Tina Fey on Protesting After Charlottesville skit. I suggest you click here and watch it. Then continue to read on.

Tina Fey is notoriously known for being a writer on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Where she has also been in front of the camera as well. Though many people were wowed after watching Saturday's skit. It is not uncommon to hear Tina view her opinions of current events. She always put some comedy in it like mentioning Donald's Trump's full name being Donald John Trump, that it does not flow well. Then mentioning it does not matter because he is gorgeous. Also eating angrily mouth full of sheet cake while ranting on.

Though through all the nonsense Fey makes a very good point on participating in rallies.

"I don't want to see anymore good people to get hurt."

Fey said as her tone of voice became solemn. As we heard the news of a young woman named Heather Heyer passed away after being hit by a car that plowed into protestors in Charlottesville.

"I know a lot of us are feeling anxious and we're asking ourselves 'What can I do? I'm just one person. What can I do?"

That is true. Many people are feeling helpless in times like these.

"I would urge people this Saturday, instead of participating in the screaming matches and potential violence, find a local business you support, maybe a Jeswish-run bakery, or an African American run bakery, order a cake with the American flag on it and eat it, Colin."

Fey then just stuffs a fork full cake in her mouth and everyone laughs while Colin is confused. Tina then tells Colin with her mouth still full with cake.

"Love is love, Colin!"

Tina continues to rant on about the protests and facts that how America belonged to the Native Americans that was stolen from them. Then bringing the argument to Standing Rock when the Native Americans and supporters have a peaceful protest others are armed. As Fey continues to make more valid arguments while still eating cake. She calls it "sheetcaking".

"Sheetcaking is a grassroots movement, Colin. Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election."

Fey then concludes the skit by telling everyone to not go to the protests.

"I really want to say to encourage good sane Americans, to treat these rallies this weekend like the opening of a thoughtful movie with two female leads... don't show up."

The video has more than 7 million views and many people talking about it. Though protests are continuing and many people are getting hurt and arrested. While others are sitting at home on social media eating cake and posting #sheetcaking.

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.
