Michelle: Hail To The Woman

Michelle: Hail To The Woman

Throughout the past two weeks, the Democratic and Republican conventions have unleashed the good, the bad and the absolute ugly. We have seen the possible first lady, Melania Trump, rip off our current first lady, Michelle Obama's speech and we have also seen Michelle herself throw shade in the most dignified manner ever reached by a first lady or any lady of that matter. After witnessing Michelle's speech for the convention, I have had a question lingering around my mind: Could Michelle possibly be president one day?

Many I'm sure have asked this questioned, but have possibly dismissed this as ludicrous, but why is it so ludicrous? She has seen up close the running of a country thanks to her husband and has experienced herself the running and pushing of laws to help better the U.S. thanks to her advocacy of healthier school lunches. She may not be the first female president or the first female to run for presidency, but she may be the guiding light that helps open the eyes of many, many people.

Michelle has also been applauded for her gracefulness in shutting down stupidity and throwing shade where it's needed. Unlike some presidential runners, running her mouth like a chicken with its head cut off is not her forte. As if a reincarnation of Eleanor Roosevelt, her witty comebacks, comments and sayings can leave us all in tears, laughter and wisdom all in the same context. Even through her fashion, she graces us with her respect and dignity and permits us to lavish within her words, hearing the sagacity that some have yet to discover.

Being a mother also helps because with this job comes learned patience, positive attitude and a will, bigger than any other, to join all countries together in a truce and live in peace. Every mother and yes, every father, understands the importance of "keeping the peace" within the family. So how could we use this analogy as a means of "keeping the peace" between countries? Easy: find a mother. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I'll put it like this, a woman will protect her child, Michelle = Mom, U.S. = Child. Mom + Child = Protective. I think it's time to bring out a mama bear for this country!

When it comes down to it all, I thinks it's safe to say that it's time we elect a woman. We need a switch up, a fresh new face if you will. We need to stop taking foot steps back and learn to walk forward on the catwalk of life and politics. In the end, I leave you with this: never send a man to do a woman's job.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
