Dare To Be The Smart, Classy Woman

It's time for women to stand up and demand graceful respect through their actions.

Dare to be a classy lady who can stand on her own two feet.

Dare to be the woman who intimidates the boys. That doesn’t mean being mean and rude to them and refusing to treat them as equals. Some girls like to stomp all over males in order to assert their independence. This is wrong. Be so smart, classy, and have such high standards that men realize they can’t just throw a few lines on you to “get” you. Be a butterfly. Lovely to witness but hard to catch.

Don’t wait around for marriage and don’t wait around for a guy to come create a financially stable life for you. If you want to quit work once you marry and stay home, fine. But if you aren’t married, please do something to provide for yourself. Be able to stand on your own two feet without a man. (Gasp.)

But aside from men.

Be smart. People want to have intelligent and stimulating conversation full of meaningful topics such as current events, politics, and anything ending in -ology. That doesn’t mean you have to go around flaunting it, but if a conversation with someone comes along, have something interesting to contribute that will make a difference and make change.

Be classy. (Boys and girls should both have these manners, just clarifying.) Honestly sit up, get some manners, and show how much of an amazing woman you can be. I love being down to earth, but people deserve to be treated with respect. When you go eat with someone and display horrid manners, you’re indirectly telling them they aren’t important enough. If you’re with someone besides immediate family, put the phone away.

Read. This is my new revelation. I just now started this, and it changes you. There’s nothing more daunting than a woman who reads. A woman who forms opinions from the statements of authors. That my dear friend is just dead sexy. I recommend any classics. Vampire books are fine, even I like them. But they should be kept to a minimum. Honestly there’s nothing intelligent about Bella sacrificing her soul to eternal damnation for a male.

You don’t have to be loud and obnoxious to be powerful and smart. Same goes for males. There’s no need to be brash in order to be dynamic. Honestly, some of the most influential people of all time chose their words carefully: Abraham Lincoln, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly. Even Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte were careful on how they represented their feministic ideals into a conservative society.

Women are strong not because they’re rude and constantly correcting people, but because they’re strong in who they are. In their composure. In their attitude. In their smiles and in their straight faces. For Christian girls, in their trust and faith in God. In their compassion. In their dreams. In their ambitions. In their kindness. In their gentleness yet their dynamic boldness.

Dare to be.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
