'​Girls Behind The Rock Show' Fights For Recognition For Women In Music
GBTRS Twitter

A few years ago for one of my english classes at school I had to write an essay on a social issue and I chose sexism in music. I chose that because it’s a major issue that should be changed and it’s something that people need to pay way more attention to. In that essay, I wrote about this non-profit called Girls Behind The Rock Show. Well, now their trying to change the music industry and I’m stoked.

GBTRS partnered with Girls Against from the U.K. are currently running a campaign that started on Sunday Jan. 1 to get an award for women in music. They want recognition for women in the mainstream world of music as well as the punk rock/ alternative world as well as women behind the scenes in the industry. The campaign is aimed at NME, Kerrang! and Alternative Press and the goal is to get them to add a women in music award to their award categories. It’s a seriously good idea.

In order for this to happen though they need help, GBTRS is a small non-profit and in order to get people’s attention, people need to blast this everywhere. It would really help them out and you would be apart of the change, which is pretty important. If you decide you want to contribute to this change, there are some simple things you can do, retweet the pinned post on their twitter. Post the video on your Facebook and Instagram. When you’ve done that, tell all your friends to do it too. Essentially you want to plaster the inter world with this. When you post these tag your favorite female musician.

Bands like Paramore, Tonight Alive, The Pretty Reckless and artists like Lights, Tay Jardine, Lady Gaga and like a billion more all sing like beasts. But they often get overlooked because they just aren't that popular or aren’t considered to be the cool thing. Women that work behind the scenes do so much work to help get your favorite bands music get out to the world. These people deserve to be recognized and rewarded for what they do to contribute to the music world.

Girls Behind The Rock Show and Girls Against are creating something that will create change in an industry that has long been ruled by dudes. Help get this out to the world and help create the change for future musicians of the world.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
