I'm A Nasty Woman, And Proud Of It
Olga Shvartsur

For every woman, person of color, LGBTQ+, persons who are disabled, and all others feeling victimized:

You may be my president but,

You are not a reflection of me. I will never support your bigoted beliefs. Your actions and words don't align with mine. Your blatant disrespect for minorities does not reflect my love for all people or all walks of life. Your discontent toward the LGBTQ community does not display my acceptance for all. Your disregard of global warming is disheartening to hear. Your mocking of the disabled does not show how compassionate I am.

You may be my president but,

I do not owe you respect after the disrespect that has been spewing from your mouth since the minute you began your campaign. I do not owe you support because you do not support me. I see your plans; I see your future and I do no accept what will come.

You may be my president but,

As a woman, as someone who cares about women, I refuse to listen to your openly sexist remarks. I do not owe you my body, though you may think otherwise. I do not owe you respect because you are a man. I do not owe you anything, simply because of my gender.

You may be my president but,

You are not for me and I will NOT get over it. You do not reflect me and i will NOT get over it. Call me stubborn, call me dumb but I won't shut up, and I won't back down. I will roar loud, so be prepared.


Sincerely,

A Nasty Woman

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.

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.
