Women Have Power

Okay, so last night was my second overnight in a two week period and here I am telling you about it. So my overnights name was Amanda Charles and I simply adored her. She was the cutest thing ever. We just clicked! She clicked with my roomate and everything. I showed her around campus, and then we went to Bubble House for bubble tea (of course) and then kind of hung around my dorm. Great stuff. (I'm telling you, overnights are the best).

Also last night I went to this Women and Leadership progam. It basically talked about how women have to adjust to fit into a male dominated world. I learned so much from it. The two speakers gave us seven tips of successful women, so I'm going to share them with you.

1. Get A Mentor
2. Make Yourself Visible
3. Take Every Oppurtunity To Toot Your Own Horn (Although don't over do it, no one likes a snob)
4. Learn Good Communication Skills
5. Learn To Balance Work And Home (Home doesn't have to mean a husband and kids, it can be babysitting and soccer practice, or it can be house chores and movies with your friends)
6. Take SMART Risks (Don't do anything that will put anyone or anything in harms way)
7. Understand The Politics (Know what's going on around you)

Well, there you have it, seven tips to help you become the greatest woman in the world. Network, put yourself out there, it'll take you so far. Which is one of the great things about co-op because it gives you a chance to learn how to work in the business world and to "understand the politics". It was so insightful. So I'm challenging you young ladies, and even the bashful young men, to break molds, and become greatness. (You can start by coming to Drexel).

I loved the women's seminar. Another great event on campus. A few more things I plan on going to is a fashion show, a dinner in honor of Bob Marley, and I'm even going to see Meet The Spartans tomorrow night (me and my girls are having a ladies night out in Philadelphia). Whelp, I have to tests tomorrow that I need to study for, I love you all, and get those applications in. The sooner you get them in, the sooner you can come and join the fun.
