As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

THAT is the kind of selflessness that I want to see from a potential FLOTUS.

As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

Joe Biden was giving a speech for his Super Tuesday victories when he was interrupted by anti-dairy protesters. Things turned ugly when the "Let Dairy Die" protesters got too close for comfort and started to storm the stage that Biden was on. Luckily, Joe's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, was there to step in and push the protesters away from him so that he could finish his speech unharmed.

Another amazing woman from the eventful night who deserves a shoutout was Joe Biden's campaign advisor, Symone Sanders. After another protester walked onto the stage, Sanders quickly took them down and ushered them off the stage. Sanders tweeted about the incident by simply saying, "I broke a nail."

As a fellow female, watching Jill Biden and Sanders take down the dairy protesters was absolutely inspiring. First Ladies are usually seen as these elegant wives that just stand beside their husbands and nod along, but Dr. Biden shows us that those stereotypes are definitely not true.

Dr. Jill Biden has always been a feminist icon while also helping her husband during his time in the government. Our former Second Lady, who worked towards her Doctorate in Educational Leadership, continued teaching at a community college after her husband became the Vice President in 2008. She was there with him throughout the campaign while also still making sure to help those less fortunate with her many charitable deeds.

This also isn't the first time that Dr. Biden has had to protect her husband from the crowds during campaigning. Last month, she escorted someone out after they were heckling and filming Joe Biden.

Even if you aren't a fan of Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders deserve some respect to their names for protecting Joe Biden better than his own security. Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders are absolutely the feminist warriors that we females deserve.

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.
