First things first, this is for the real Cowboy fans. It's been a rough couple of years...or decades, let's be real. We got through the Quincy Carter years and the many, many heartbreaks that came with being a Cowboy fan. But through it all, true Dallas Cowboy fans all share the same understandings:

1. We are America's Team.

Deal with it.

2. You don't mess with the star.

Or you get laid out.

3. The iconic Hail Mary? We invented that.

"I closed my eyes and said 'Hail Mary'," Cowboy Quarterback Roger Staubach said after his game-winning touchdown pass to Drew Pearson in 1975 in a divisional playoff game to defeat the Minnesota Vikings. The term spread like wildfire.

5. Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without the Cowboys.

Since 1966.

6. We hate Jerry Jones, but we love Jerry Jones.

He definitely oversteps his boundaries...but the guy just wants what we all want, to win. And hey, we can thank him for Jerry World, which brings me to next point...

7. AT&T Stadium is the 8th wonder of the world.

Construction of this beauty cost about 1.3 billion. Thanks, Jerry!

8. Dez. Caught. It.

And you will catch these hands if you argue otherwise.

9. Everyone loves America's sweethearts.

Even if you hate the boys.

10. We don't care that you hate us.

Through thick and thin, we love our boys and we defend them 'till we are blue in the face. We still are and always will be a dynasty, so just sit back and enjoy the show. And as Terrell Owens once said, "I know y'all don't want me to shine, but I'mma shine anyway."

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

Making the world safer through language.

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.
