With the gloomy winter months fully upon us, most are looking forward to those hot summer days and long summer nights. For many, the frigid temperatures and snow covered grounds are completely unappealing and highly unwelcomed. While it may be a bit before summer finally makes its way back into our lives, there is no harm in wishing for the many activities associated with the warmer months. Here are 10 Summer activities we are all looking forward to:

1. Concerts

Arguably the most exciting summer activity, concerts are the epitome of summertime and never fail to produce lasting memories and friendships.

2. Beach days

You simply can not beat a day of relaxing by the beach on a hot summer day. Nothing is more serene than being surrounded by sand and crashing waves.

3. Hiking

Both good for you and fun! A day of hiking offers breathtaking views, exercise and the chance to enjoy all summer has to offer.

4. The Sun

The sun is the lifeblood of summer, providing us with hot summer temperatures and making those days just a little bit longer. Not to mention a great tan!

5. Barbeques and outdoor eating

Nothing says summer like a barbeque with family and friends. Fire up those grills and get ready to eat!

6. Driving

If you're like me and driving is one of you favorite activities, it only gets ten times better in the summer months. There is nothing like a road trip or just a leisurely drive on a warm summer night.

7. Seafood

One of the most essential summer foods, seafood is always a must have during the summer season.

8. Reading

Whether you like to read or not, sitting down with a good book during the summer never fails to be relaxing, particularly when you are pool or beach side.

9. Ice Scream and desserts

Ice cream and desserts simply taste that much better during the summer and it finally becomes socially acceptable to eat them each and every day!

10. FUN!!

There is nothing like those summer months. From friends to fun activities, every summer is special and accompanied by a lifetime of memories and thankfully, it'll be here before you know it!

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.

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.
