5 Slogan Ideas For March For Our Lives

Tomorrow morning, there will be over seven hundred March For Our Lives marches happening around the country. This student-led movement will show how many people in the United States (gun-toting citizens, pacifists, Republicans, and Democrats alike) believe gun control is essential to our ability to move forward as a nation.

I stress the diversity of people who will be attending these marches because you shouldn’t feel that any aspect of what you believe in prevents you from lending your voice to supporting gun control. Too many lives have been lost to succumb to those pressures.

Now that that's been said, one of the ways I feel most prepared for a march is by making a poster. It’s not necessary, of course, but I find that it makes me feel better part of the march. It gets me hyped to participate in something bigger than myself, and helps me believe that my voice can make a difference.

Of course, it’s hard to determine what slogan on your poster will perfectly convey your feelings about an issue. How do you prevent writing a thesis? If you’re confused, here are five ideas to get you inspired for your own poster.

1. “History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.” Nelson Mandela

This movement is about the lives of the future generation. Don’t let people forget that their actions affect us, especially when it comes to the prevalence of school shootings.

2. Love is stronger than guns

I think this slogan shows that the obvious can often become hidden by those who are not affected by tragedy. Show your love for the survivors of school shootings and those who died before their time.

3. We represent America, and America says its time to value life over guns.

Even with the support of older generations, the youth of today are preparing themselves to change the United States.

4. Let’s Talk

Though simple, this slogan demonstrates the need to have a conversation about gun control. Why do we turn to sides in these times of tragedy? Why can’t we recognize the obvious and work to find a solution? Because no one wants to see the continued loss of life because of guns.

5. “Though she be but little, she is fierce!” Shakespeare

Nothing like a good Shakespeare quote to light the fire inside of you.

For the marchers tomorrow, stay safe and stay strong. Remember what you’re fighting for so that the weather doesn’t impede the progress you can make.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
