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.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
