Thank You, Women Of The World

Thank you, women of the world.

Thank you for showing your support and your unyielding desire for change through the women's marches of 2017. The women's marches were a series of political rallies that took place in cities around the globe. The biggest was held in Washington, D.C., which shattered records with an estimated 500,000 person turn out. These marches promoted not only women's rights, but the rights of immigrants and LGBTQ+ citizens, while also addressing racial inequalities, Black Lives Matter, and environmental issues.

Seeing women all across the world come together for a common purpose gave me hope. Hope that what may seem impossible to one, becomes very possible when we unite. Everyone has the power to change the world, and by rallying together we become powerful and develop a voice that no one, not even Donald Trump, can silence. More than half of the country was displeased with the election results, and I can't even express how proud I am that we are fighting back and making our voices heard.

Here are a few heartwarming pictures of the brave and strong men and women that marched for the rights of everyone, guaranteed to give you the chills.

Washington, D.C.

Paris, France


St. Louis, Missouri



Sydney, Australia


Berlin, Germany


Los Angeles, California

Thank you, women of the world. You give me hope. Let's keep it up.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
