I have never been an avid pop drinker, but there are many people in my life who are. It is a widely known fact that pop/soda is not beneficial to our health. However, people are still drinking it. Put the pop down and start expanding your horizons when it comes to what you want to drink. There are so many healthy drink options out there, and they taste good too!

1. Kombucha

Not everyone likes it, but everyone should at least give it a chance. It definitely has an acquired taste. The benefits that Kombucha offers are unreal. Show your gut some respect and grab yourself one of those infamous glass cough medicine bottle look-a-likes, Kombucha!

2. Tea

Whether it be green, black or some other kind, you can never go wrong with tea. Although brewing your own tea with your Keurig would be the best option when it comes to being healthy, grabbing a tea in between classes from the market will always be better than grabbing a pop.

3. Naked or Bolthouse

Although these drinks are jam packed with sugar, they are a great way to reach your daily fruit goals. I would advise you to always pair your smoothie drink with a lot of water. They are also filling!

4. Mamma Chia


Similar to Kombucha, these drinks definitely are something to get used to. It's not so much the flavor of the drink, but the texture. However, chia seeds are packed with fiber and omega-3s!

5. Hint

Not really a fan of drinking water? Hint water can help! Hint is fruit-infused water, AKA water with flavor. Although Hint may taste great, there are 0 calories and 0 sweeteners because, well, it is just water!


There are way more healthy drink options out there, but these are just a few of my favorites! I would recommend trying these drinks if you are a compulsive pop drinker and are trying to change your ways! Start new habits in this new year.

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
