Who run the world?

Spend time with a female role model.

Medical consultation

Whether this is a family member, a respected professor or any female role model who has impacted your life, find some time to sit and talk with them. They'll appreciate your time and you will have the opportunity to learn from and laugh with a wonderful female figure in your life.

Read up on international female role models.

Herstory is chock full of bright and brave women. There are so many historical figures and current day heroes to research. Go hit those books!

Compliment a female friend.

Do this sincerely . Compliment her on a trait or talent that is important to her, but people never really see. Boost your fellows queens!

Treat yourself.

You're a woman- show yourself some love! Cancel those plans you don't feel up to, wear a face mask, get that gauc!

Treat yourself (responsibly).

Self care is mainly parenting yourself. Go that extra mile to give your future self a leg up. Get ahead on your work, update your resume, go for a run,etc!

Mentor another woman.

Female mentor-ship is so important. If you are in a place where you can help mentor a fellow woman- take it!

Volunteer

There are plenty of women's shelters and tutoring centers that need volunteers. See what your community's needs are and go lend a hand.

Be bold.

Like the artist who created this piece, never let your voice be silenced.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
