"The happiest place on earth," also known as Walt Disney World. Over the years they have patented this illusion that they are the happiest place on earth, but I'm here to call their bluff. No place is the happiest place on earth, Disney included, and here is why.

1. Screaming children, they are everywhere.

2. It's hot and humid, all of the time.

3. Alligators, apparently they eat you.

4. Brazilian tour groups, trust me.

5. Food is overpriced, just because it is shaped like a mouse.

6. It is almost impossible to tackle everything Disney has to offer in just a week-long vacation.

7. Walt's head could possibly be frozen underground somewhere (and that is scary)

8. The icon is a mouse, which is just creepy.

9. College kids hold most of the jobs, including driving the boats and monorails.

10. There are lines. Everywhere, all the time.

11. Staying on property will break the bank, but staying off just isn't fun.

12. There are dead people ashes everywhere. No joke. This is a common thing.

13. There is said to be a ghost that haunts the pirates of the caribbean ride. He was a construction worker.

14. There isn't enough alcohol on premises to deal with all of the crying children.

15. Guests consume close to 2 million pounds of turkey legs each year. I found the obesity problem.

16. Animal Kingdom doesn't sell drinks with straws or lids. Blame the animals.

17. You will lose sunglasses during your trip. Since 1971, around 1.65 million pairs of sunglasses have made its way to the lost and found.

18. You can't buy gum in Disney World. Notice really clean sidewalks.

19. Woody and friends, from Toy Story, no longer fall down when you yell "Andy's coming" and that's not fun.

20. Tickets are insanely expensive. So you are now spending tons of money on food, resorts, and tickets into the parks.

21. There is constant construction. Disney is always building something.

22. It is always crowded. It doesn't matter if you go at Christmas time or in the middle of April, its crowded.

23. Wearing mouse ears around all the time, well it's kind of embarrassing.

24. Souvenirs are expensive. You basically have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it all.

25. It rains. every day. and then you are forced to wear hideous ponchos if you want to not lose out on all the money you spent to get in.

26. It's impossible to walk down mainstreet without accidentally photobombing someone's "cute" picture.

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.
