Girl Talk is an Opinion column written by a current female student to discuss issues surrounding women, whether it be feminism, current events, personal experiences at Stevens or in life, and more.
As promised in last week’s Girl(ish) Talk where I discussed my thoughts on the Barbie movie, I’m going to now talk about my thoughts on the Barbie brand.
Fine, I’ll talk about it! The Barbie Movie came out this summer and it took girls by storm. No one has specifically asked me to write a column about this, but I feel like it would be wrong not to discuss my thoughts at some point.
Recently I was talking to a friend and we ended up discussing our internships. We had both worked in construction, her this past summer and me in the Spring of 2023.
In high school, I attended an all-girl’s school. I decided to go there because standardized education wasn’t working out for me at all, and I needed a change.
When I was young, like 10 or 11, I was probably the biggest Taylor Swift fan alive (I know that’s a bold claim, but I stand by it).
You might have noticed that the title of this column has changed slightly this year from Girl Talk to Girl(ish) Talk.
I hate to admit it, but I used to think I was different from other women. Not that I was better or cooler, I just thought I didn’t have “the girl thing.”
Disclaimer: This column includes the opinions of mine and women that are important in my life. What they state applies to anyone, regardless of gender.
There is something so special about books. Their capability to take you into another universe, captivated by an intricate story unfolding at your fingertips, is truly magical.
