10 Movies You Have to Watch Over Break

Winter break is a time for napping, letting your liver recuperate, and watching copious amounts of television uninterrupted by the constant underlying feelings of stress about school.

*collective sigh of relief*

Now that you've got a month or so to relax, heres a list of some movies you should try to fit into your busy schedule of binge watching shows on Netflix:

#1. Whiplash

Starring Miles Teller and J. K. Simmons this movie - actually nope. That's all you need to know. They're in it, therefore it's amazing (the final scene of this movie will leave you in awe, I promise).

#2. Pulp Fiction


From what I've heard from my friends, this is one of those movies that you've always meant to watch, but have never actually have seen. This is it. This is your sign. Go watch it and try to understand the screwed up genius that is Quentin Tarantino along with the rest of us.

#3. The Secret Life of Pets


Honestly laughed way to hard for basically the whole movie. The perfect feel good to bring you up after having relatives bombard you with questions about your future, your love life, your grades, employment.....need I go on?

#4. Scarface


Because everybody loves a classic, especially when Al Pacino is part of it.

#5. Kubo and the Two Strings


This is honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a while. The story line is wonderful and the animations are amazing.

#6. Every single Star Wars movie ever made


Just do it. It'll be fun and you'll see every single Star Wars movie ever made, what could go wrong?

#7. Race


This one is based on the true story of when Jesse Owens, track star of Ohio State University, competed in the 1936 Olympic Games. Not only is he fighting to win his own gold medals, but he also is fighting against the ideals of the Nazi Regime and Aryan supremacy. 10/10 must see.

#8. Deadpool


Honestly, if you haven't seen this yet I feel kind of bad for you. Ryan Reynolds is hilarious and the perfect non-superhero. Go watch it. Seriously.

#9. Hot Fuzz


This is probably one of the most underrated actions movies ever. It's hilarious, witty, has conspiracy theories, a cult, and so many awesome fight scenes.

#10. Stardust


I know it sounds corny, but it's the best rom-com, feel good, action movie cross-over that I've seen in a while. This is my go to watch-when-sick movie, so if you're stuck home with a cold like so many of us with depreciating immune systems *insert upside down smiley face emoji* then check this one out. Also Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, AND Robert De Niro are in it, so there's that.

Happy viewing!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
