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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
