"Girl's Girl"

 I'm sure you have heard the term "girl's girl." However, I feel like that term is really overused and has lost its meaning. Originally, I believe that this saying was used in situations when women were truly on other women's sides and was used as a term of empowerment. Now, I think that when people use the term girl's girl, it's used as as excuse and is thrown around lightly, and many people just say it when it simply just is not true. 

I have seen in many cases where I find women using the saying they are a "girl's girl" to justify and excuse other female's actions. I do believe that you can be somewhat of a girl's girl, but that does not give provide backup for every argument. Many women make mistakes, and they cannot be turned into NOT a big deal simply because women in the comments feel the need to defend them in the name of being a "girl's girl." Also, I find the phrase to be annoying at this point because at least in my experience, the girls who say it simply just are not all they claim to be and do some of the worst things to other women. But, that may just be me.

    I agree with the fact that the term "girls girl" has definitely lost its meaning and its become something used for the smallest arguments or disturbance in a friendship and there are a lot of things that your supposed to do to be a "girls girls" and if you don't now your male centered or just not a great friend when that isn't the case at all. But great topic!

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
