A 13-Year-Old Girl On The Women's March

I couldn't make the March myself, so I got a special correspondent to tell me about it.

Thousands of women marched in support of women's rights after newly elected President Donald Trump's recent inauguration in Washington D.C. on Sunday. One of the attendees of this march was my cousin, Hannah. She went with her mom, her aunt, and a few other older women to support, like so many others, to protest the recent empowerment of a known misogynist who has become the most powerful man in the world. His policies on birth rights, immigration, and climate protection have realized many fears for American citizens that seemed like campaign hyperbole for the past few months. I called Hannah and asked her a few questions about why she marched and, hopefully, to understand this whole mess from someone who's rights hang in the balance.

Interviewer: Why did you march?

Hannah: I marched because of, really, the same reasons other people marched, for women's rights and for rights for other people from other countries because Donald Trump doesn't like people from other countries, which I think is stupid.

I: What about Donald Trump bothers you the most?

H: He's very racist and the one the thing that bothered me specifically is that time when he mocked the disabled reporter, I think. Yeah, I didn't like that. In general, I just don't like him at all.

I: Fair, fair, and he's orange, too, which bothers me.

H: Yes, he's very orange!

I: What was it like marching with your mom and your aunt and other older women?

H: I thought it was really fun to march [with them], but, I also thought it was really cool to see a bunch of different people and different ages and to see signs from older women holding signs saying 'I can't believe we're still marching about this stuff,' which is true.

I: Did you like protesting?

H: Yes, I thought it was very fun and I would do it again.

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.

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.
