As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

THAT is the kind of selflessness that I want to see from a potential FLOTUS.

As A Woman, It's Empowering To Watch Jill Biden Protect Joe Biden From Protesters

Joe Biden was giving a speech for his Super Tuesday victories when he was interrupted by anti-dairy protesters. Things turned ugly when the "Let Dairy Die" protesters got too close for comfort and started to storm the stage that Biden was on. Luckily, Joe's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, was there to step in and push the protesters away from him so that he could finish his speech unharmed.

Another amazing woman from the eventful night who deserves a shoutout was Joe Biden's campaign advisor, Symone Sanders. After another protester walked onto the stage, Sanders quickly took them down and ushered them off the stage. Sanders tweeted about the incident by simply saying, "I broke a nail."

As a fellow female, watching Jill Biden and Sanders take down the dairy protesters was absolutely inspiring. First Ladies are usually seen as these elegant wives that just stand beside their husbands and nod along, but Dr. Biden shows us that those stereotypes are definitely not true.

Dr. Jill Biden has always been a feminist icon while also helping her husband during his time in the government. Our former Second Lady, who worked towards her Doctorate in Educational Leadership, continued teaching at a community college after her husband became the Vice President in 2008. She was there with him throughout the campaign while also still making sure to help those less fortunate with her many charitable deeds.

This also isn't the first time that Dr. Biden has had to protect her husband from the crowds during campaigning. Last month, she escorted someone out after they were heckling and filming Joe Biden.

Even if you aren't a fan of Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders deserve some respect to their names for protecting Joe Biden better than his own security. Dr. Jill Biden and Symone Sanders are absolutely the feminist warriors that we females deserve.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
