41 Quotes From The Women's March That We Can't Forget
voanews.com

This past weekend, women broke history. Women stood together to fight for their rights. To say no to something they don’t believe in. To fight for the rights of their children. There was approximately 4.6 million people marching around the world. Almost 700 sister marches to the march on Washington. Together I have compiled an eclectic list of quotes that defined this march. Quotes that hopefully will not only help you understand but inspire you to march for women’s rights. It’s not about what party you’re in. It’s about standing against injustice. It’s about fighting for people's lives.

1. “Grandma has fought hard for her kids, don’t piss her off.”

2. “Nasty women grab back.”

3. “Respect existence or expect resistance.”

4. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants.”

5. “We all belong here. We will defend each other.”

6. “Achieving our full selves by fully embracing each other.”

7. “Hope not fear.”

8. “Each time a woman stands up for herself without knowing it possible, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou

9. “There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.”

10. “We can, we have and we will.”

11. “We shall overcomb.”

12.“ Make America think again.”

13. “No one is free when others are oppressed.”

14. “Not about party affiliation. This is important. Come together.”

15. “I stand for planned parenthood. This organization which provides women across the nation access to annual gynecological exams and cancer screenings that could save lives. March on!”

16. “My rights are not up for grabs.”

17. “Include women in the sequel, the future is female.”

18. “I am not free while any woman is unfree even when her shackles are very different from my own.”

19. “Toxic masculinity ruins the country.”

20. “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

31. “Women are the wall and Trump will pay.”

32. “Our bodies, our minds, our power.”

33. “Shed walls don’t build them.”

34. “So bad, introverts are here.”

35. “Girls just wanna have fun(damental human rights).”

36. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

37. “I march because I am enough. I march because I’ve had enough. I march because enough is enough.”

38. “Viva la vulva.”

39. “A woman’s place is in the resistance.”

40. “Trust women to choose.”

41. “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

****

And if you refuse to stand by our side, then don’t stand in our way.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
