13 Slang Words I Started Saying Ironically and Now I Can't Stop

I always say slang words as a joke or to be funny, but then I realize that I've actually integrated these words into my everyday vocabulary and now I can't stop. I don't know how I feel about this, but I do know that I am not the only person with this problem.

1. "Totes"

I totes hate that I say this word. I totes want to slap myself every time I say it. Every time I read the word "totes" I lose brain cells, but I still accidentally say it sometimes and I'm trying to stop.

2. "Dope"

Shoutout to my friends who make fun of me for saying "If you could ..., then that would be dope." Yeah, I don't know who I am now either or how I started using the word "dope" but here we are.

3. "Shade"

I actually love throwing shade though. I don't even hate that I say this word. It's a great word and an even greater pastime.

4. "Aesthetic"

Most people who say this word 1) don't say it correctly and/or 2) cannot spell it.

5. "Garbage"

"This is garbage" is easily one of my most used phrases. Can't find a parking spot? Garbage. Can't find your car keys? Garbage. Lost your debit card? 100% GARBAGE.

6. "Low key"

I high key hate that I say this multiple times a day. But I also low-key love it because I am low key.

7. "Fam"

I call everyone "fam." Please don't get offended or weirded out by this. If anything, you should be flattered by this. Example: "Thanks fam"

8. "Same"

It's just so much easier than saying "me too." Also, I am very relatable so I say "same" to a lot of things daily.

9. "Literally"

I can't stand that I'm part of the problem where people say literally but they don't mean literally. But, hey, at least I know the difference so I'm counting this as a win for me personally. Example: "I literally might starve to death"

10. "...or nah?"

If I end a question with "or nah?", 1) I apologize, 2) I'm trying stop, and 3) I know I shouldn't still have this in my vocabulary because it's not 2014 anymore. Example: "Are you going out tonight or nah?"

11. "bish whet"

The amount of times I type those words is embarrassing. I guess I'm just easily confused and I question people's judgment a lot hence the "bish whet" response you're probably going to get from me one day soon.

12. "bruh"

I love this word and I hate this word. This is my favorite word to say when I get annoyed at other people in traffic. Example: "bruh why did you cut me off"

13. "AF"

The reason I'm so annoyed at myself for saying this is that I say it out loud. It's understandable to type out "af" because who wants to type the whole thing? I certainly don't. Example: "I am tired af dude"

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.
