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.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

9 Things Only Girls With Bleached Hair Will Understand

Blonde hair, don't care!

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

10 Little White Lies You Tell Your Parents In College

"Uh? Eating? Am I Eating? Yeah..."

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
