Stop telling people to "give Trump and chance". Stop listening to snowflake Tomi bitch online because she's as ignorant as it gets.

Do you realize how many people are going to be effected because of Trump in office? He's already wanting to ban Muslims and refugees from this country and you want people to look at him and say "I respect you". Do I like the current president? Nope. Am I going to respect him? Hell no. He doesn't respect me, why should I respect him. He wants to take away my healthcare, possibly birth control, he wants to tell women what they should do with their bodies....Donald Trump has already made the worst possible decisions...and it's only been a week.

Don't tell me to "give him a chance" if he wants to send us into a fascist country. Don't ever say that he and Hillary Clinton are the same because Hillary would never ban anyone from entering the country. Hillary would never build a wall. Hillary would never take away your healthcare without a proper plan to switch it with.

I've noticed people, who voted for Trump, already regretting their decision. I don't feel sorry for them.

Over two million men and women participated in the women's march and I am proud to be a nasty woman. I never ever want to hear a woman say that they're "so over feminism" because if it wasn't for women like Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Susan B. Anthony, Margret Sanger, Carol Downer, Margret Fuller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and so on, you wouldn't be able to go to school, get a job, say what you want to say, vote, do what you want to do basically. If it wasn't for the women before us, we wouldn't be able to do shit.

If you ever want to know what life was being discriminated against for being a woman: talk to your mother, your grandmother, your aunt, an older co-worker, a professor, a teacher, a businesswoman.

My mother told me that she was told me that she was told by a man that law school wasn't for women. This was back in the 80's....today, she's one of the best damn lawyers out there.

Talk to my grandmother, who experience having to work past the cut off date for a working mom because she didn't get paid maternity.

Don't you ever say you're over feminism or that we don't need it...because we sure as hell do.

Stop telling people to respect Trump because if you want to be serious...did you respect Barack?

Stop telling people to get over it, when his policies will impact another person more than you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
