15 Thoughts You Have Every Time You Watch 'Survivor'

The original reality show that drops a group of random and eccentric Americans on an island somewhere where they have to figure out how to survive off of a thimble full of rice every day and not kill each other while also competing for one million dollars won after 39 days of not showering has never lost steam in 34 seasons. How, you ask? Because it makes us reflect on the important things in life.

1. "That is a huge spider!"

Yes, the island they’re stranded on is gorgeous and I’ll happily look at as many sunsets, marine animals, and landscapes as you filmed, but I could do without the creepy crawlies

2. "Oh great, another sob story."

Yes, they're humans and they have personal stories and lives and it's all very interesting, and I may even shed a tear once in a while, but this is a game and I want to see them play.

3. "What do they do all day?"

Aside from challenges every few days, periodically binge eating junk food, and scrambling before, during, and after tribal council, all we see them doing is laying around laughing at the chicken on the roof of their shelter

4. "Wow, look at all that delicious food! And there are brownies?!"

Even though you are not famished and could go get yourself one from your box of cosmic brownies in your kitchen which is 5 steps away

5. "I bet he/she is really cute when they shower."

Because let’s be honest, there are some really attractive humans that play Survivor, but when you haven’t showered in 2 weeks, nobody is going to hit a runway

6. *Challenge involves ropes course, mud pit, 12 laps in the ocean, a deep dive, carrying a 100 lb boat, and a slide puzzle* "I could do that."

No, even with a full belly, fully rested, and perfect weather, you most certainly could not

7. "Jeff only wears blue, green, or black shirts (occasionally white)."

I really wish he’d just put on one of those neon orange skin suits for once

8. "Uh oh, who let [insert season’s resident crazy here] out?"

There’s always someone dumping out the rice, stealing someone’s idol, or dancing around naked and it’s usually the same person

9. "Oh no, Jeff looks too happy. Here comes a twist."

Because Survivor has gotten bored with itself so Jeff always has something up his monochrome sleeves

10. "I bet that’s the episode title!"

But it’s not because they always choose the lamest quote like “There’s a new sheriff in town” when they could’ve used “Smiles before the Bloodbath”

11. "How does one have secret conversations when a whole camera crew follows you everywhere?"

“Let’s go sneak off into the woods and talk about strategy without anyone knowing we’re aligned” *Camera crew casually wanders off into woods* “They’re probably just filming spiders again”

12. "I have no idea who’s going home at tribal."

Everyone walks into tribal 110% confident that their alliance is solid. Then Jeff starts asking questions and all hell breaks loose

13. "Who flipped?"

Someone always flips on someone because everyone has made different promises to at least 3 different people

14. "I wish Jeff would play Survivor."

He’d have to be a beast at everything, right? He knows the secrets of all the challenges and has seen all of the strategies! He’d either dominate or fall flat on his ass.

15. "I could win Survivor."

Just kidding, I’d be that one person that starts strategizing with someone before I know their name and definitely be the first torch snuffed

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.
