Women's March – Some Poster Favorites
SheKnows

This weekend, an entire gender organized an event whose turnout had approximately three times the size of the audience at Trump's inauguration. The Women's March attracted hundreds of thousands of passionate protestors in cities across the world. It brought about enthusiasm, clever chants, and countless enjoyable witty posters. Some of the most iconic posters are circulating social media sites, and I wanted to share some of my favorites because they deserve as much recognition as possible.

1. "If you build a wall...my generation will knock it down!"

Allowing children to be involved in crucial parts of history is so important. This little queen looks so happy to be surrounded by powerful women!

2. "Science is Real"

Completely attacks Donald Trump's passive stance on the serious issue of climate change in a way that is simple, honest, and straight to the point. Gotta love it.

3. "If I make my uterus a corporation will you stop regulating it?"

This social media famous gal made a bold statement about women's reproductive rights AND corporation regulation all while sporting lots of pretty shades of pink. Iconic.

4. "If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?"

This is empowering to all the girls who think that they, as individual people, aren't able to create genuine change.

5. "I've seen better cabinets at IKEA!"

Okay I'm sorry but this has to be one of my favorites. It's simply clever and funny while still acknowledging the serious issue of Trump's problematic cabinet members.

6. "I march 4 my moms"

Who doesn't love a good dog picture? Combine that with this cutie's representation for LGBTQ rights and you've got a stellar Women's March protestor.

7. "White women, we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we're doing enough to help all our sisters or just the ones who look like us."

This one's clever because it was made with a material resembling a mirror, and it's also extremely important because it's one of the few posters I've seen that acknowledges the issue of intersectional feminism (the only real feminism.)

8. "There is no planet B!"

Another important poster relating to the issue of climate change. It reminds us that this planet is precious and it's the only one we've got. I'm also sensing subtle hints of women's reproductive rights (Plan B?) which, if it was done on purpose, is absolutely iconic.

9. "I am a woman. I am a girl...we are important, we are beautiful, we are queens. Respect us, cherish us, vote us!"

Another adorable girl, another powerful poster, bringing optimism and hope for our youngest generation and our future.

10. "Why are you so obsessed with me?"

Who doesn't love a good Mean Girls reference? And this one especially is just so well done. Everyone can understand and relate, and it truly captures the feeling women have for male politicians' decisions regarding our privates.

11. This one speaks for itself.

12. "Ninety, Nasty, and Not giving up!"

This woman is fierce. It's amazing to see women of all ages marching for the same thing. Keep fighting girl!

13. "Future is Female. Marching for Maya"

If this Dad-Daughter moment doesn't make your heart melt you're just lying to yourself and that's that.

14. "Misogyny Kills"

Such a simple message but put in such a powerful way. Normalizing Arabic culture is so important in a political climate like this one. And this girl knew exactly how to make her messages heard.

Stay passionate women and men! We have the power to make history (and iconic signage!)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
