55 Places I Will Someday Visit in the U.S.

I hope to visit each of these incredible places at least once, and I hope that by doing so I can gain a better respect for nature, and discover myself more in the process.

All of us have a list of places we want to see. My lists are incredibly long, so I decided to narrow them down. Traveling is an incredible adventure that gives a person more knowledge about the world. By going to different places you experience new cultures, new environments, and new people. Nature becomes not just something pretty, but a home, and something we appreciate more. Each time we see a breathtaking view, or something that has weathered the storm for thousands of years, it makes us realize that we are not the only thing in the world that has importance. As humans, we take the world for granted and just live to go to work, party, meet cute boys, and make money. Stop living life in survival mode, experience the world in a way that you may never have before. I hope to visit each of these places at least once, and I hope that by doing so I can gain a better respect for nature, and discover myself more in the process.

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.

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.
