I recently came across an article from my absolute favorite social impactor, Tomi Lahren. Her article was regarding the recent Women's March. Her position was anything but ordinary and opened my eyes to the deceptive ideas that lie behind movements like this one.

She speaks out on the vulgar, hateful and embarrassing ways that the women of this movement deteriorate other women and the current presidency. The connotation that follows this event is the empowerment of women, but in most cases, this goal is never met.

"Yeah, nothing says “female empowerment” like a bunch of actual mean girls demeaning and degrading and delegitimizing successful and accomplished women, right? It’s disgusting. The women you are bashing on your signs and with your chants don’t think like you, so we are less than you? Are we the problem? We aren’t "real" women?"


This is not only denoting Americans in general but it is denoting the hard-working women who have succeeded and overcome such adversity.What Tomi is speaking up against is the real problem, not the inequality of women. The women and men who partake in these events are not uplifting and encouraging women to go for what they deserve, they are "marching around in pink hats screaming profanities and demanding free things."

Participants in the Women's March are promoting deceitful images to Americans, females and other cultures that lead them to believe that women are powerless and treated wrongly in America and should just be handed things that other individuals work hard for.

Along with the unintentional deterioration of women through this march is the very intentional disregard for our president. As Tomi says, if the women and men engaging in the march were truly worried about making things better for women, they would acknowledge that President Donald J. Trump has women in some of the most important roles in the White House and in his cabinet along with the first ever mom to be press secretary.

President Trump has also lowered the female unemployment rate, cut taxes, produced economic growth and achieved many more impressive advances unique to his presidency. If the women and men who engage in the march and activities similar to it would consider that our president is not the sole causation for all of the leading issues in our society, maybe they would realize that the way they are going about trying to inspire change is only halting progress.

Now, this isn't to say that the intentions of the Women's March are not real, precisely allocated, and hopeful. This is just to say that what the march has turned into, is not what women should want to associate themselves with. The behaviors and adolescent mindset that has evolved from the march is an embarrassment to not only women but Americans as a whole. There are better, more effective ways to convey a hope for change.

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.
