5 Things Women Are Not

We don't need your validation.

I am so sick of hearing and experiencing how women are treated. We are treated like we have no brains, and we have no ideas. We are treated like emotional and hormonal wrecks. We are treated like we aren't equal in and out of the workplace. If a woman is sexually assaulted she will be blamed. They will comment on her clothes, or comment on the fact that she had a couple of drinks. No one will listen to their story. None of that is right. All women are equal in so many ways. We are even more than equal. We can carry children and get right back to work. We can start fights and end them without a single hand raised. We deserve better treatment. I am a beautiful and smart woman. I have astounding thoughts and amazing ideas. I have the attitude of a queen, and I am not afraid to share what is on my mind.

1. Women are not a phone number to fight for

A woman's phone number is not a victory. Just because you have a new number to text at night doesn't mean you are more masculine, or a better man.


2. Women are not a picture to show you friends

We understand that we are beautiful. Showing others a picture of us like your latest catch is just stupid. We aren't a deer shot down in the woods. We are people, just like you.


3. Women are not a score between 1 and 10

If we wanted to be graded on our appearance we would ask. We don't need your sarcastic remarks and below average numbers to know our worth.


4. Women are not something to brag about

When you huddle together to brag about the latest girl you like it makes you look stupid. It makes it look like you value women as objects, and not as people. Women are definitely people, and if you can't see that you might need some help.


5. Women are not your servants

We are probably doing something else like raising children or furthering our careers. We don't have time to do every single thing for you. If we can figure it out on our own, you can too.

Women can be the strongest, despite what people think. We can do anything we set out minds to. We don't live to please others. We live to please ourselves. We live to choose the life we want for ourself. We are strong and independent. We are not pictures or numbers, and we are certainly not your ego boosters.

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

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…

Great Value Colleges

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.
