As of lately, I can not help but be drawn in by our current political debacle. As an American, I find the current political election for president to be an absolute disgrace to our nation. We as Americans are stuck between two people who have no business being president of the United States. One seems to be the lesser of two evils, but I ask myself this, why would I choose any evil? The fact of the matter is that we are currently about to give power to an individual that conducts themselves in the manner of a child. So blatantly do they conduct themselves this way I feel shame as a young American. I cannot believe either candidate made it this far, to be honest. I guess with money comes power. I guess that is just the way it goes when we the people have no power.

Now though I ask how does the rest of the world feel about the current election? I think that they can agree our internal affairs are one of the most amusing parts of their day. As of now with every little antagonizing battle of words batted back and forth between our candidates that this has caused America to become one giant political circus in need of a new act. This is the reason I am writing this piece, because as a young adult of 22 years of age in America. I see that my country will be influenced in one of the most crucial points in my life; the part where I will build a foundation for a better future for me and the future kids that I may be blessed with one day. How can I do this though in a nation that will elect anyone it seems? I can only express my current distress about the current political state of affairs in our country.

For our futures, it is my hope that someone somewhere will see this, and will realize that the young Americans are not satisfied with the current state of our country and political situation. It is my hope that this will let the rest of the world know that the two current presidential candidates are not what we want for the future of our country. So do not let either of these two closed minded individuals act as a reflection of what America wants or let their actions be the basis for the point in which you say stupid Americans because this is not the majority. Change is coming I can only hope that with it comes progress. Also that we as a nation not be looked down upon. Right now it is as I said, a circus in need of a new act. We can no longer allow this current act to continue. Alas though, who am I but another young writer with words that seem hollow. Hopefully, those who see these words can understand we the people are not content.

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.
