Every four years politicians, delegates and passionate citizens gather together for an epic four-day convention that produces their political parties President and Vice President candidate for the upcoming election a few months later. This past week the Democratic National Party held their convention in the Wells Fargo Center located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) had a scandalous start when their chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned from her position due to a trove of 2,000 leaked emails revealing how the DNC favored Clinton throughout the primaries. As a result Sanders feverish supporters became even more so finding out that their candidate was put at a disadvantage by his own affiliate party.

Fortunately overall the convention went well with historic moments and incredible highlights that can be expressed trough the following songs.

Day One: Monday July 25

Cory Booker: The New Jersey Senator set a great tone for the convention with reasons why Americans differences make us a stronger country together.

"We're All In This Together" High School Musical Cast


Bernie Sanders: The Vermont Senator and former presidential candidate shocked his supporters when he encouraged them to vote for Clinton in order to defeat Trump. Just replace ladies with voters and you'll get the tone.

"Formation" Beyoncé


First Lady Michelle Obama: Like she did in 2008, our First Lady delivered a powerful speech that illustrated how America is the greatest country on Earth. The United States will have the opportunity to elect its first female president.

"Umbrella" Rihanna


Day Two: Tuesday July 26

Mothers of the Movement: A group of mothers who all had a child die from police brutality spoke together and made a powerful statement to voters and a memorable moment of this convention.

"Rise Up" Andra Day


Formal Presidential Nomination of Hillary Clinton

"Run the World (Girls)" Beyoncé


Bill Clinton: The former president shared the journey he and Hillary took together from the moment they met to the 2016 DNC. Hillary is often critiqued for her aloofness but her husband was able to peel back that perceived layer and show her in a more personal setting.

"My Girl" The Temptations


Day Three: Wednesday July 27

Tim Kaine: Hillary introduced America its new step-dad who's filled with corny jokes and bad impressions, but wants nothing but the best for you. Outside of being Virginia's Senator I imagine this video is his daily life.

"It's A Dad's Life"

Vice President Joe Biden: In the only way Biden could he called out the harm Trump is causing to our nation and he is sick and tired of it.

"We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore" Twisted Sisters


President Barack Obama: Number 44 is a special president that America probably won't see again any time soon and his speech confirmed that. Many will miss him once he's gone but he wants us to know that if elected Clinton will be the perfect candidate for the job.

"Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" Stevie Wonder


Day Four: Thursday July 28

Women in the U.S. Senate: Hillary's colleagues where able to talk about her work in the Senate as a leader which adds to her impressive and expansive resume which qualfies her for this office.

"Independent Women, Pt. 1" Destiny's Child


Chelsea Clinton: Like her father Chelsea was able to shed light on what Hillary is like as a mom who raised her into a strong woman and mother.

"A Song For Mama" Boyz II Men


Hillary Clinton : Rightfully so Hillary is a survivor who continues to break through glass ceilings so others can follow their dreams with more ease.

"Survivor" Destiny's Child

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
