The Election As Told By Kid President: Millennial Edition

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 85 years, you know that this past Tuesday was the Presidential Election. Ever since that Tuesday, there have been a lot of opinions flying around. There have been mean words, hateful acts, and just an overall disgusting reaction to the outcome of the election. Personally, I'm not a fan of the results, but I've tried to stay away from being blatantly rude to another person. There have also been some kind words and loving acts. I've seen people come together, and people completely rip apart. No matter what your views are, I've always said that we must be kind and respect one another. That is the only way anything can be accomplished. That is the only way we can heal. And what better way to talk about kindness and respect than everyone's favorite President, Kid President?!

Here's the election as told by Kid President:

1. Millennials voting for the first time.


2. Millennials (me specifically) thinking that Hillary had the election in the bag.


3. Not being able to focus all day because all you could think about is the fate of America.


4. When the polls started to close and the numbers started coming in.


5. When things started getting crazy, so you stress ate.


6. When Hillary lost.


7. When people started being mean to each other and you just want everyone to get along.

8. After you got over the shock and you realized that you have to be the change in the world.

9. Thinking about what you can do to make things better for everyone around you.

10. Wanting Obama to be President forever.


All jokes aside, we all need a little pep talk.

Things are crazy right now, and we really need to keep our heads on straight. Remember that even though everyone is different, but we're all still people. Show compassion, be kind, and love each other. And lastly, remember that there are plenty of good people still left in this world, even if you can't see them. Everything will be okay. We just have to work together.

All my love,

Shan

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
