Women's March – Some Poster Favorites
SheKnows

This weekend, an entire gender organized an event whose turnout had approximately three times the size of the audience at Trump's inauguration. The Women's March attracted hundreds of thousands of passionate protestors in cities across the world. It brought about enthusiasm, clever chants, and countless enjoyable witty posters. Some of the most iconic posters are circulating social media sites, and I wanted to share some of my favorites because they deserve as much recognition as possible.

1. "If you build a wall...my generation will knock it down!"

Allowing children to be involved in crucial parts of history is so important. This little queen looks so happy to be surrounded by powerful women!

2. "Science is Real"

Completely attacks Donald Trump's passive stance on the serious issue of climate change in a way that is simple, honest, and straight to the point. Gotta love it.

3. "If I make my uterus a corporation will you stop regulating it?"

This social media famous gal made a bold statement about women's reproductive rights AND corporation regulation all while sporting lots of pretty shades of pink. Iconic.

4. "If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?"

This is empowering to all the girls who think that they, as individual people, aren't able to create genuine change.

5. "I've seen better cabinets at IKEA!"

Okay I'm sorry but this has to be one of my favorites. It's simply clever and funny while still acknowledging the serious issue of Trump's problematic cabinet members.

6. "I march 4 my moms"

Who doesn't love a good dog picture? Combine that with this cutie's representation for LGBTQ rights and you've got a stellar Women's March protestor.

7. "White women, we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we're doing enough to help all our sisters or just the ones who look like us."

This one's clever because it was made with a material resembling a mirror, and it's also extremely important because it's one of the few posters I've seen that acknowledges the issue of intersectional feminism (the only real feminism.)

8. "There is no planet B!"

Another important poster relating to the issue of climate change. It reminds us that this planet is precious and it's the only one we've got. I'm also sensing subtle hints of women's reproductive rights (Plan B?) which, if it was done on purpose, is absolutely iconic.

9. "I am a woman. I am a girl...we are important, we are beautiful, we are queens. Respect us, cherish us, vote us!"

Another adorable girl, another powerful poster, bringing optimism and hope for our youngest generation and our future.

10. "Why are you so obsessed with me?"

Who doesn't love a good Mean Girls reference? And this one especially is just so well done. Everyone can understand and relate, and it truly captures the feeling women have for male politicians' decisions regarding our privates.

11. This one speaks for itself.

12. "Ninety, Nasty, and Not giving up!"

This woman is fierce. It's amazing to see women of all ages marching for the same thing. Keep fighting girl!

13. "Future is Female. Marching for Maya"

If this Dad-Daughter moment doesn't make your heart melt you're just lying to yourself and that's that.

14. "Misogyny Kills"

Such a simple message but put in such a powerful way. Normalizing Arabic culture is so important in a political climate like this one. And this girl knew exactly how to make her messages heard.

Stay passionate women and men! We have the power to make history (and iconic signage!)

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.
