11 Of The Best Signs From The Women's Marches
NPR

This past weekend, we witnessed the largest Inauguration protest in history. The Women's Marches that took place around the world were aimed at promoting women's rights and equality for all as the United States moves forward under a new administration. The turn out was huge and support was amazing. From New York City to London; from Los Angles to Paris, hundreds of thousands marched wearing the best clothes and carrying the greatest signs. People participating in the marches and rallies created amazing, beautiful, and sometimes hysterical signs that they carried proudly down the streets on display for all. Here are some of the best signs from Women's Marches around the world.

1. #Relatable -- am I right?

2. William Shakespeare quotes show up in places besides high school English tests! And are adorably appropriate.

3. Because "boy will be boys" is a terrible excuse to allow sexism and misogyny to persist. This parent is raising their son right!

4. Carrie Fisher would be so proud to be the face of peaceful protest.

5. Signs don't need to be complicated! Just state the facts.

6. The art combined with the slogan on this one is just perfect. Stay nasty, my friends!

7. A classic protest quote done by someone who was more artistically inclined than I will ever be. You go girl, make it fancy!

8. 1968 is calling but 1984 is here. George Orwell anyone?

9. Many signs took a cue from Donald Trump and read "Grab [insert object here]." This one is particularly good. Education is key! And reading is fun!

10. The words of Tupac echo through the minds of many.

And on a final note:

11. It all starts with the individual. We can do it.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
