Repealing the 19th Amendment

Repealing does not sound appealing.

Repealing the 19th Amendment

I'll keep this article short and sweet because I am sure everyone is sick of politics this election season. After reading about Trump supporters tweeting "#repealthe19th", I was about to put my head through a wall. I was insanely infuriated.

My initial thought was how are we taking a step back?! Women fought too damn long to gain the right to vote in the first place and now they are trying to take it away?!

I felt personally attack. This is the first election I am able to vote and Trump supporters were trying to take that away.

WHY?

So Trump could win! What kind of screwed up democracy is this idea apart of?

My frustration is based off my life long battle against gender equality has always been a thing for me! I grew up playing sports. I grew up and would always hang out with my brother and his friends (even though he hated it). I grew up being just as smart as the boys in my class. I work hard to make myself seem dignified and professional, just as hard as a man, and this is what I get! This is bullshit.

What infuriates me the most is that I am a young woman who will be heading into the job field in a couple years. There is still a pay gap! There is still the glass ceiling! I don't wont to be working a job and make less than a man that does the same job as me. Ugh!

This needs to stop now. This is more than having the right to vote, this is about women being treated with respect. Women deserve more then this. We deserve respect! We deserve equality! And most of all, we deserve the right to vote!

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
