Why Women Need To Build Each Other Up, Not Break Each Other Down

Women face enough challenges as it is so why should other women make it even more difficult for each other?

Society has come a long way in recent decades. Women in America have more opportunities and equality now more than ever. However, things are not perfect and women themselves need to treat each other well in order for more changes to be made.

Women face enough challenges as it is, so why should other women make it even more difficult for each other? The judgement among women needs to end. Instead of making enemies with other women and passing judgement on other women, why can't we just eliminate the jealousy and cattiness in order to create a more supportive culture among all women? We should empower each other and never let men come between us and our female friends. After all, there is not really a benefit to judging other women and being rude to them, so why do those things still occur? Judgement among women is especially bad when it comes to superficial things. If we do not want men to catcall us or judge us too much based on superficial things, then we cannot do so with each other either. We must set an example of how we want to be treated by treating others in a way that we desire to be treated ourselves. This is universal among all people but women should do so with each other nonetheless.

Women must encourage, help, build up, support, trust, and empower each other because it makes things much easier and better for ourselves. Women understand the struggles of other women more than anyone else does. Therefore, we should support each other because we know how difficult things can be for us.

This sounds like a simple message but is does not always happen among women today. Teaching this idea must start at a young age because women deal with a lot of issues among other women when they are young. These mistreatments among women in their younger years can have implications that last a lifetime. Cattiness and judgment must be discouraged from an early age so that young women will grow up to be women who empower one another.

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 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.
