10 Powerful Photos From The Women's March On Washington
East Bay Times

January 21, 2017 will go down as one of the most important days in history.

On January 21, 2017, women and men around the world marched in support of women's rights after the inauguration of Donald Trump. The march took place much to the dismay of many republicans around the world, including Tomi Lahren, a known anti-feminist who clearly does not understand the idea of feminism. Millions of men and women around the world took place in marches that occurred in places such as St. Louis, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and the big one being the March on Washington. These marches made a statement. A statement that the unfair and unequal treatment of women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, and many others would no longer be tolerated. To the men and women who participated in these marches, thank you for standing up for what you believe in and being role models to the future of our country, the children who will grow up and continue these values you are working so hard to put in place.

As a proud feminist, these marches meant a lot to me, and the fact that they grew this big and made this much of an impact makes me even more proud to be a feminist. We still have a lot of work to do, but the marches showed that we are strong, and that we won't let a racist, misogynistic man and his homophobic vice president tell us how to live our lives and control us. The march that occurred in Washington D.C. brought in over 1.2 million people, well over the number of people who attended the inauguration. The photos featured in this article are from the March in D.C. and are some that I find to be powerful and send a true message.

Never stop fighting for what you believe in and never forget that there is power in numbers.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
