It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

The 9 Stages Of Winter Break

It finally here! Winter break is actually here! Congratulations for surviving finals!

1. The sweet feeling of freedom.

School's out! It's finally time to go home! You get to see your high school friends!

2. Tasting the first bite of real food.

Because the dining hall food just does not compare to mom's home cooking.

3. Seeing the whole family (again).

It's only been a few weeks since Thanksgiving so there isn't much to catch up on, but you still missed them.

4. Seeing your friends again.

It feels like it's been four months too long. It's time for a fun get together to catch up!

5. Having no responsibilities.

End of semester = no work to do over break!

6. The holidays.

Be it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or New Years, everyone has something to celebrate.

7. Annoyance.

Things have returned to the way they were before you left. That means your little brother is picking fights and all of your friends are too busy to hang out so you're stuck in the house.

8. Missing the roommate.

It's times like these when you miss being trapped in a room with one person.

9. The countdown returns.

You're excited once again, but why? Once you get back school starts again and you are thrown back into reality, but at this point all you want is to go back. This is just one reason why winter break is one of the many mysteries of college students.

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.

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. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. 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. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
