5 Slogan Ideas For March For Our Lives
Erin Scott

Tomorrow morning, there will be over seven hundred March For Our Lives marches happening around the country. This student-led movement will show how many people in the United States (gun-toting citizens, pacifists, Republicans, and Democrats alike) believe gun control is essential to our ability to move forward as a nation.

I stress the diversity of people who will be attending these marches because you shouldn’t feel that any aspect of what you believe in prevents you from lending your voice to supporting gun control. Too many lives have been lost to succumb to those pressures.

Now that that's been said, one of the ways I feel most prepared for a march is by making a poster. It’s not necessary, of course, but I find that it makes me feel better part of the march. It gets me hyped to participate in something bigger than myself, and helps me believe that my voice can make a difference.

Of course, it’s hard to determine what slogan on your poster will perfectly convey your feelings about an issue. How do you prevent writing a thesis? If you’re confused, here are five ideas to get you inspired for your own poster.

1. “History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.” Nelson Mandela

This movement is about the lives of the future generation. Don’t let people forget that their actions affect us, especially when it comes to the prevalence of school shootings.

2. Love is stronger than guns

I think this slogan shows that the obvious can often become hidden by those who are not affected by tragedy. Show your love for the survivors of school shootings and those who died before their time.

3. We represent America, and America says its time to value life over guns.

Even with the support of older generations, the youth of today are preparing themselves to change the United States.

4. Let’s Talk

Though simple, this slogan demonstrates the need to have a conversation about gun control. Why do we turn to sides in these times of tragedy? Why can’t we recognize the obvious and work to find a solution? Because no one wants to see the continued loss of life because of guns.

5. “Though she be but little, she is fierce!” Shakespeare

Nothing like a good Shakespeare quote to light the fire inside of you.

For the marchers tomorrow, stay safe and stay strong. Remember what you’re fighting for so that the weather doesn’t impede the progress you can make.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
