Why The #WomensMarch Is So Important

Proud to be a #nastywoman

Jan 23, 2017

The Women's March on Washington is NOT just a protest against President Trump. The Women's March is for so much more than that. Here is my list of why the Women's March is so important.

1. Because we just elected a racist President.

2. Because we just elected a sexist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic President.

3. Because women are still paid less than men.

4. Because men still try to control women's bodies.

5. Because men feel entitled to women's bodies.

6. Because women are done being treated as 2nd class citizens.

7. Because rape culture is very prevalent in our society.

8. Because 1 in 4 women are raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetime.

9. Because Black Lives Matter.

10. Because LGBTQI lives matter.

11. Because women matter.

12. Because we need to come together.

13. Because we need to unite as a nation.

14. Because we have to move forwards not backwards.

15. Because feminists aren't anti-men - they are pro-equality.

16. Because a pink tax actually exists.

17. Because we need to wake up.

18. Because we all need healthcare.

19. Because we all need education.

20. Because medicaid and medicare is important.

21. Because love wins.

22. Because the future is what we make it.

23. Because we stand with Planned Parenthood.

24. Because we need a little hope.

25. Because we are in charge.

26. Because we are nasty women.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
