A 13-Year-Old Girl On The Women's March

I couldn't make the March myself, so I got a special correspondent to tell me about it.

Thousands of women marched in support of women's rights after newly elected President Donald Trump's recent inauguration in Washington D.C. on Sunday. One of the attendees of this march was my cousin, Hannah. She went with her mom, her aunt, and a few other older women to support, like so many others, to protest the recent empowerment of a known misogynist who has become the most powerful man in the world. His policies on birth rights, immigration, and climate protection have realized many fears for American citizens that seemed like campaign hyperbole for the past few months. I called Hannah and asked her a few questions about why she marched and, hopefully, to understand this whole mess from someone who's rights hang in the balance.

Interviewer: Why did you march?

Hannah: I marched because of, really, the same reasons other people marched, for women's rights and for rights for other people from other countries because Donald Trump doesn't like people from other countries, which I think is stupid.

I: What about Donald Trump bothers you the most?

H: He's very racist and the one the thing that bothered me specifically is that time when he mocked the disabled reporter, I think. Yeah, I didn't like that. In general, I just don't like him at all.

I: Fair, fair, and he's orange, too, which bothers me.

H: Yes, he's very orange!

I: What was it like marching with your mom and your aunt and other older women?

H: I thought it was really fun to march [with them], but, I also thought it was really cool to see a bunch of different people and different ages and to see signs from older women holding signs saying 'I can't believe we're still marching about this stuff,' which is true.

I: Did you like protesting?

H: Yes, I thought it was very fun and I would do it again.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
