10 Things To Do When You're Bored This Summer
Todays Parent

1. Sleep

Sleep is the number one thing to do when you come home for the summer considering all the high intense studying you put yourself through in the school year. Sleep through a day and you will find yourself thoroughly entertained by your dreams.

2. Swipe through Tinder

After waking up from a long slumber, grab your phone and check up on all your notifications. If you are still bored then swipe through tinder and hopefully find a summer “boo thing” you can have wild thoughts about. (Apparently Rihanna having a Saudian prince is having a big impact on all the ladies for the summer)

3. Meet up with friends

Meet up with your old high school friends and see how fake they have gotten. Seeing them again will make you realize how much you want to go back to college. So make sure you pregame for the meet up and watch how everyone attempts to act their coolest in front of you. Try not to laugh, it’s offensive (This is from personal experience).

4. Binge watch Netflix

Watch a marathon of ‘Law and Order’ and other movies while stuffing your face with junk food. It can be an entertaining and time filled thing to do for the day. When there’s an awkward pause between scenes look at yourself hard in the reflection of the laptop or television screen and ask yourself “are you really living summer if you look like trash while watching Netflix?”

5. Read an inspirational book

Reading books that cover topics such as “How to be Successful” or “How to Stay Motivated” can consume your time and can educate you on being motivated while ironically doing nothing but reading the book.

6. Make new friends

Since your old friends suck, try going out to bars and clubs or even a local coffee shop and spring a conversation with anybody. Who knows if there’s a cute boy or girl to meet or a dope friend you can do fun adventures with.

7. Go to Parties

Parties are often something to do to make yourself forget about how much your summer sucks. This is a go to place to make friends and to show off on your snapchat stories to appear much cooler than you actually are.

8. Go on Vacation

Can’t afford a vacation you say? Same, so I take vacations from app to app on my iphone. Sometimes I take a vacation in my dreams. It saves money. If you can afford vacations, screw you.

9. Start Drama

Start a fight with someone or create drama with that summer fling. It will be painful, but hey at least it’s something to do and talk about. The more drama you have with your family and friends the more motivation there is to go out and distract yourself.

10. Workout

This is the most important thing to do since you want to show off to all your college friends how fit you’ve gotten over the summer. Drink water, eat well, lift heavy. GET THAT BODY RIGHT!!!

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.
