Hilary Clinton: Lady Boss

“The country is not ready for a female president”.

Uhm, excuse me? To say that you don’t want to vote for Hillary because you don’t agree with her position on a certain issue is one thing, but to simply say that you won’t vote for Hillary because she’s a female, well that’s just absurd.

Unfortunately, the scrutiny doesn’t stop there. People are not only saying that they won’t vote for Hillary because she’s a female, but they’re saying that they won’t vote for her because she’s a female b****.

Part of me can’t blame people who share such silly logic, because we are taught to dislike successful women, especially when the second option is a male counterpart.

It is just so astonishing to me that people perceive Hillary so much more negatively than they perceive male politicians simply because of her gender.

People call females like Hillary pushy and call males persistent. They call females conceited and call males confident. They call her by her first name and him by his last. They call Hillary a b**** and call him determined and strong minded.

Too many of Hillary’s qualities would go from being seen as negative to positive if she simply had a Y chromosome. The qualities that have made previous male presidents A+ leaders make her an unlikeable b****.

What people need to realize is that these women are not bad people, and Hillary is not wrong for the job simply because she’s a female. These women are simply fearless and fierce.

Many of the most successful, strongest, and influential women have at one point or another has been called such a name, and yes, Hillary is pushy, but how else is she going to make changes happen? No, she isn’t America’s sweetheart, but the president shouldn’t be.

If lady bosses like Hillary are deemed the ‘B’ word, then I want to be one too, because these are the females that get stuff done.

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.

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?
