10 Powerful Photos From The Women's March On Washington
East Bay Times

January 21, 2017 will go down as one of the most important days in history.

On January 21, 2017, women and men around the world marched in support of women's rights after the inauguration of Donald Trump. The march took place much to the dismay of many republicans around the world, including Tomi Lahren, a known anti-feminist who clearly does not understand the idea of feminism. Millions of men and women around the world took place in marches that occurred in places such as St. Louis, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and the big one being the March on Washington. These marches made a statement. A statement that the unfair and unequal treatment of women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, and many others would no longer be tolerated. To the men and women who participated in these marches, thank you for standing up for what you believe in and being role models to the future of our country, the children who will grow up and continue these values you are working so hard to put in place.

As a proud feminist, these marches meant a lot to me, and the fact that they grew this big and made this much of an impact makes me even more proud to be a feminist. We still have a lot of work to do, but the marches showed that we are strong, and that we won't let a racist, misogynistic man and his homophobic vice president tell us how to live our lives and control us. The march that occurred in Washington D.C. brought in over 1.2 million people, well over the number of people who attended the inauguration. The photos featured in this article are from the March in D.C. and are some that I find to be powerful and send a true message.

Never stop fighting for what you believe in and never forget that there is power in numbers.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
