10 Powerful Women Who Are Already Making Moves In 2019

Playing college football, being a superhero in a Marvel movie, and being President of the United States are a few roles that have long been taken by males in US history. That's all starting to change. Women are fighting for equality in more ways than protests and speeches. Women are showing that they can do what men can do, and sometimes they can do it better than the men, if not just as well. These are a few of many women who are pushing the traditional boundaries and tearing down society's comfort zones to go after what they love and what they believe in.

1. Toni Harris

Toni is the first woman to sign a letter of intent to play college football in a position other than kicker. She is a safety and has committed to play for Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri.

2. Brie Larson

Brie Larson takes on the lead role of Captain Marvel in the upcoming movie. We love our bad ass women in the movie industry.

3. Jessica Mendoza

Jessica is an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball analyst who recently was hired by the New York Mets to be a baseball operations advisor.

4. Becky Hammon

Becky Hammon is the assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA.

5. Women running for president 2020

We have to have a woman elected as President in 2020 because women have amazing vision.

The following women are some of the current runners for the 2020 Presidential race (all Democrats, so far):

Tulsi Gabbard, HI Congresswoman, Army National Guard veteran

Kirsten Gillibrand, NY Senator

Kamala Harris, CA Senator, former CA attorney general

Amy Klobuchar, MN Senator

Elizabeth Warren, MA Senator, former Harvard professor

Women are taking over traditionally-male roles and we're here for it. Girl power, am I right? Fearless girls will run the world!

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
