Living Vicariously Through My Phone For The Women's March
New York Times

Despite political preference, it cannot be argued how important equal rights are. The Women's March on January 21st, 2017 will definitely be remembered. People marched not only in Washington but all over the country, and world, in major cities to pronounce the equal rights we all deserve. While I did not get the chance to go, I really enjoyed living vicariously though everyone and feeling connected to the movement through social media. With such advanced technology, movements such as the Women's March are able to be more inclusive and everyone can feel connected, physically present or not. Here are some of the best signs i've seen on social media.

Harry Potter, a political reference in itself, is a great universal way to connect people into the movement.

Emma Watson, who played Hermione in the HP movies, was seen in the crowd. She works with the UN and speaks out for women's rights and is an incredible role model to so many women.

The hot pink hats everyone is wearing with the pointed ends are supposed to symbolize cats. They are mocking the ever-talked about line by Donald Trump that he spit out in 2005 on tape, "and when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything". A cleaver idea to help the crowd stand out even more, the Pussy Hat Project is an activist knitting program.

You would think we have had equality down for quite some time now...

But no. Apparently it is still 1960 and we are forever stuck in a broken soundtrack from the movie "Hairspray."

I don't know about you, but I like totally would not allow him to sit at my lunch table.. in the burn book he goes! #meangirls

There were so many ages at the protest. Children, millennials, parents, and grandparents. The protest showed that you don't have to be old to understand the concept of equality. Honestly, it is quite simple to grasp.

In fact, you don't even need to know how to read or write to care about something so important. This silly little picture has gone viral!

Shoutout to the creative artists out there.

A classic hilarious Spongebob reference will never get old. Lots of women are worried that the funding for birth control is going to be demolished.

Shoutout to the College students.

Above shown is from the march that happened in Philly simultaneously. Tons of college students in the Philly area came to march together.


If you made it to any kind if march on Saturday, you truly were part of something incredible. How blessed are we to live in a country where we can actively speak out for what we believe in?

Shoutout to all the empowered women, empowering women.
We are stronger together than we ever will be apart.

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.
