If you're like me, you LOVE Valentine's day! However, sometimes the good old dinner and a movie gets boring. This year, I decided that I want to do something different with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Here are a few of the ideas I came up with.

1. Go To Painting With A Twist

If you don't know what that is, it's basically like taking a class with Bob Ross. An instructor shows you how to paint, and you follow along and create a masterpiece.

2. Plan your future together

This one might only be for long term couples, but sometimes it's nice to just talk about what you want together.

3. Stay in with a movie

Whether it's a romantic one or not, sometimes staying home and watching movies with your significant other is the best thing to do.

4. Go on a group date

For a change of pace, but still a classic date, try going out with other couples.

5. Make something together

Whether you simply paint together or make a project, crafting together is always fun!

6. Volunteer together

Doing good for someone else together is a great way to spend your day! It will give you great memories for years to come.

7. Go to an arcade

Spending time at an arcade is an innocent, fun thing to do together.

8. Go to a trampoline park

Find the closest Sky Zone (or something similar) and go jump your heart out together!

9. Go ice fishing

Or if you're lucky enough to live where it's warm in February, go regular fishing!

10. Wine or beer tasting

If you're of the age, going wine tasting, or craft beer tasting is always a good option!

11. Get a couples massage

Relaxing together with a massage will set you up for a nice stress-free day together.

12. Play video games together

Sometimes mixing it up with some good old competition is fun! I recommend Mario Kart!

13. Cook dinner together

Whether it's taco's or a five-course meal, cooking together is so fun and a great way to spend your day.

14. Stay in bed all day

If all else fails, staying in bed and relaxing all day is always a good option!

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.

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

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.
