When meeting new people, especially in college, odds are you ask them the same three questions every time.

What's your name?

What's your major?

Where are you from?

Don't you hate it?

Every icebreaker is terrible because they want a fun fact about you and sometimes, or all the time, you may just not have one. What if, instead of the same questions always being asked, we asked fun ones instead?

Here are some questions for you to try out the next time you meet someone new!

What fictional place would you most like to go?

What job would you be terrible at?

What is the most annoying habit other people have?

When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?

What age do you wish you could permanently be?

When have you felt your biggest adrenaline rush?

What is a luxury you couldn't live without?

How often and where do you people watch?

What could you give a 40 minute presentation on without any preparation?

How different was your life one year ago?

What quirks do you have?

If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or have someone to cheer you up?

What's the best Halloween costume you've ever had?

What do you wish you knew more about?

What do you want your epitaph to be?

They say everyone has a book about them, what would yours be about?

What's one thing about you that surprises everybody?

Do you ever find there are things about you that people misunderstand? What are they?

Which parent are you closer to and why?

What kind of parent do you think you will be?

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.

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.
