When a college student is asked what their plans are for the summer, many will reply working, travelling, or sleeping. A good nights sleep feels so good, especially when you know you don't have to set an alarm for the next day. While your phone may say one thing, nature has something else in store. The hustle and bustle of everyday life is enough to wake you whether you like it or not. These alarms include, but are not limited to:

1. Birds

The early bird gets the worm and if the birds happen to be your alarm clock, then that statement clearly doesn't apply to you. The bird alarm is a more rare occurrence, as it all depends on how many birds are in the area. If they are all hanging out and chirping together, then you will probably have a sweet song to wake you up.

2. Construction

This one also depends on where you live and what is going on. In Chicago, there is always construction when there isn't snow on the ground. If where you live for the summer fits that statement, then get ready for a wild ride. Beeping, drilling, breaking, and yelling will fill your summer mornings.

3. Dogs

Whether you have them or not, dogs can be a great (or annoying?) alarm. If there are multiple in a neighborhood, as soon as one starts you have a symphony of barks.

4. Family

Picture this: its Saturday morning. You don't have work, so you are asleep. Not for long, though, as your whole family is already up and making noise. People are talking, cooking, cleaning, and before you know it, someone is pulling the covers off your warm and toasty bed.

5. Phone Calls

If you get a wake-up call, that probably means its about time you get up. Friends wanting to make plans are a sure sign you were about to sleep the day away, as they tend to sleep just as long as you do. While you may be annoyed with them during the phone call, after you will be thankful as you rise before three in the afternoon.

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.
