8 Reasons Why I Need Summer

After such long winter months and crazy spring weather, I am ready to take on summer like no other. Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love summer and the adventures it brings. Toes in the sand, sun kissed skin, hair gets lighter, and drinks get colder is the best feeling ever.

With classes coming to an end, I am counting down the days till I can head to the beach. After such a stressful semester full of assignments and countless papers, I can't wait to sink my toes in the sand. I know i'm not the only one waiting for some sun rays to turn this pale skin into a much needed tan. With Memorial Day approaching, i'm reminded once again of the wonderful reasons why I love summer and warm weather.

1. No More Classes

One of the best parts of summer is having no more class. No more papers to write or worrying about procrastinating on assignments. The summer days are yours to spend which ever way you want.

2. Late Summer Nights

Is there anyone else who just loves summer nights? I love being able to stay out extra late because you don't really have a care in the world. I love hanging out with great friends on the boardwalk and walking the beach late at night.

3. Fashion

After such a crazy winter and spring, it is finally time to bring out the summer clothing. Most importantly, BATHING SUITS! I must say that it is the best. Shorts, maxi dresses, rompers, and sandals. Need I say more?

4. Major Vitamin D

Being stuck in doors for the past few months does nothing good for our skin. With the weather finally heating up, I can take a towel and bake under the sun. Finally some color to my skin which means I wont have to worry about bronzer or much makeup!

5. Vacation

Summer Vacation is just around the corner. Tropical Islands, beach houses, and majortravel plans happen within the summer months. If your like me, I booked all my vacations months ahead and are counting the days until I leave for vacation.

6. Adventures

I feel that summer is such a careless and freeing season for everyone. My friends are always willing to go on crazy adventures during the summer. Exploring new towns, beaches, and crazy

7. Outdoor Activities

I love being outdoors. I am so glad that with warmer weather I get to spend most of my time outside enjoying nature. Swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, and festivals are some of my favorite things to do in the summer.

8. Summer Food

Am I the only one who loves summer food? Ice cold drinks, ice cream, funnel cake, fried oreos, and tons of fresh fruit. What's summer without all these delicious snacks to munch on while laying out in the sun?

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

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.
