To the People Coming at Katie Lou Samuelson

I've never really considered myself a feminist or anything like that, but I definitely do believe in women having the same rights as men. More importantly, when a woman is successful I don't think her success should be taken away by comparing her to a man.

I'm sure we're all familiar with UCONN's women basketball program by now after having a 107 game winning streak. As of March 5th, it's been 841 days since they've lost a game and they've had 104 double-digit wins during that streak. INSANE! A major contributer to that success is known by the name Katie Lou Samuelson. In their 107th win against South Florida for the AAC crown, she went off for an astounding 40 points and went 10 for 10 from the 3-point line. In an NCAA article, they state that only 1 Div. I men's player has done that, and NO NBA player has ever achieved this feat. Not comparing the different players, just stating what an accomplishment it is for her and how hard it is to achieve.

Well it didn't take long for Twitter haters to start bashing her and women's basketball with some crude comments sexualizing her and taking away her accomplishments by saying the only reason she could do it is because women's basketball is so much easier than men's. "In no way or chance could she have done this on her own because she doesn't have skills." *said in a sarcastic voice*


It literally blows my mind that people have the audacity to say some of the things they do. In celebration of International Women's Day (a couple days late), I'd like to congratulate you Katie Lou on quite an accomplishment. Girls, never let boys take away what you've done because they're immature, keep doing you!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
