This year is going to be The Year of The Woman, and Rosie Thompson, a nursing assistant living in South Carolina is going to help make it happen. Thompson started a Facebook page dedicated to showcasing women in the community and their special qualities in hopes that it would bring awareness to the strong women in her community that do not get enough recognition for all they do.

Thompson made an introductory post that stated, "Looking around me and realizing the strength of so many different women (and men, actually) absolutely blew me away. And I want to continue cultivating this realization throughout our community." She wants to keep pushing for equality in her community, and she is going to do so by recognizing those around her who are making a difference.

The first two women recognized on the page were Sims Katherine Hall and Mikaela Harrel, both natives of Upstate South Carolina. Some of the things mentioned about these women are who they are, what they do, and why they were chosen. Thompson said "Sims consistently expresses her gratitude for all of those that have influenced her life, having no idea just how much of an impact she makes on those same people. Sims is one of those people who you simply know cares deeply for you, not because she says it, but because her actions constantly show it."


That first post alone has reached over three thousand people on Facebook, and it was posted on January 2nd. Thompson has a few admins who are also working on posts, but one of her requests is that people submit their own women that they would like recognized, no matter who or where they are. She is excited to see where the page goes, and she wants to see it grow. She said, "I want this to be everywhere." Hopefully, she gets her wish this year. After all, it is going to be The Year of The Woman.

If you would like to contact Thompson, you can visit We The Women on Facebook and send them a message. Also, if you have any women in your life that you, too would like to recognize, send them a message with a photo, the woman's name and why you want them to be recognized.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
