3 Women's Organizations You Should Join, Even If This Year's Women's March Is Over

Just because the Women's March is over does not mean that we stop fighting.

This month we marched across the country to alert the world that we are not going to sit still. We protested for the right to our bodies, for equal pay, and even to protest for the ones that can't. But now that the Women's March is over, we still need to continue. So here is a list of organizations to help us achieve that goal.

1. Emily’s List

Most people when working towards their job aspirations have people they look up towards as role models. So imagine being a white man wanting to go into politics. You literally have your pick of who you want to emulate ranging from Bill Clinton to Paul Ryan. But imagine being a young black girl wanting to go into politics your choices become sizably limited. Emily’s List is an amazing organization that helps elect pro-choice Democratic women into office so we finally have a government that reflects the American people.

2. Time's Up

Time is up. We are finally taking sexual assault and harassment in the workplace with the severity it has always deserved. TIME'S UP initiative is to improve laws and employment agreements to ensure women and men are being held accountable by our legal system for their actions. Their legal defense fund will help support individuals by pairing them with an extensive legal system to fight workplace harassment.

3. Lean In

Lean In is an organization that has successfully connected working women from all over the world to support networks. They can meet with a small group and learn new skills whether its coding or discussing future goals.

Just because the Women's March is over does not mean the fight is done. We have so much left to accomplish and organizations like these make it a bit easier. So whether you want to run for president and need some backing or you're trying to ask for a promotion here are people to help you.

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.
