41 Quotes From The Women's March That We Can't Forget
voanews.com

This past weekend, women broke history. Women stood together to fight for their rights. To say no to something they don’t believe in. To fight for the rights of their children. There was approximately 4.6 million people marching around the world. Almost 700 sister marches to the march on Washington. Together I have compiled an eclectic list of quotes that defined this march. Quotes that hopefully will not only help you understand but inspire you to march for women’s rights. It’s not about what party you’re in. It’s about standing against injustice. It’s about fighting for people's lives.

1. “Grandma has fought hard for her kids, don’t piss her off.”

2. “Nasty women grab back.”

3. “Respect existence or expect resistance.”

4. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants.”

5. “We all belong here. We will defend each other.”

6. “Achieving our full selves by fully embracing each other.”

7. “Hope not fear.”

8. “Each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possible, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou

9. “There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.”

10. “We can, we have and we will.”

11. “We shall overcomb.”

12.“ Make America think again.”

13. “No one is free when others are oppressed.”

14. “Not about party affiliation. This is important. Come together.”

15. “I stand for planned parenthood. This organization which provides women across the nation access to annual gynecological exams and cancer screenings that could save lives. March on!”

16. “My rights are not up for grabs.”

17. “Include women in the sequel, the future is female.”

18. “I am not free while any woman is unfree even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

19. “Toxic masculinity ruins the country.”

20. “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

31. “Women are the wall and Trump will pay.”

32. “Our bodies, our minds, our power.”

33. “Shed walls don’t build them.”

34. “So bad, introverts are here.”

35. “Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights).”

36. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

37. “I march because I am enough. I march because I’ve had enough. I march because enough is enough.”

38. “Viva la vulva.”

39. “A woman’s place is in the resistance.”

40. “Trust women to choose.”

41. “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

****

And if you refuse to stand by our side, then don’t stand in our way.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
