If you are a college kid, you most definitely have Venmo. It's 2017, does anyone even carry cash anymore? No. That’s why Venmo is the best. You know you have definitely used Venmo to pay your friends for these seven things.

1. Uber.

On a big campus, we millennials are very lazy. Do you really want to walk ALL the way across town to go to that party? Uh no. Order an Uber with your friends and then just Venmo whoever did the ordering.

2. Alcohol.

Majority of college students are under twenty-one and until they reach their junior year, can't purchase alcohol. Venmo can easily be used to pay your older friends for alcohol. Even if you are twenty-one, you might not always bring cash with you to the bar. Why not just ask your bestie to pay for you and Venmo them later?

3. Food.

Oh no, went out to lunch with your friends and forgot your cash? Or the place you went to won’t let you get separate checks? Have no fear! Venmo is here!

4. Coffee.

If you are in college, you NEED coffee. Coffee is one of the biggest necessities for a college kid crammed with all kinds of work. If your friend is kind enough to grab you a coffee on their way over for a study session, then it is only right to Venmo them back. Maybe even add a little tip since they were so considerate.

5. Bills.

If you live off campus in a house or apartment, you have bills. Typically one roommate will charge everyone else in the house to pay for their share. You definitely do not want to be that bad roommate that does not pay their share, so open up that app and start paying.

6. Fantasy sports.

College kids like to have fun. College kids like sports. College kids are on fantasy sports teams. Since you have to pay your dues for fantasy, Venmo saves you the hassle.

7. Fundraisers.

When people have fundraisers on campus, it is hard to buy the cookies, buy the shirt, and buy the wristbands. Especially, if you have no cash on you. Venmo is easier to show your pride.

Venmo makes life easy. Venmo is definitely the 21st-century, college kid, go to. Without Venmo, we would always have to be stopping at an ATM or forgetting to pay things when we should. Venmo eliminates the struggle of going anywhere and saves time.

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.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair.

Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended.
