A Tale Of Two Identities

It all started on a dark and stormy night when I was sailing with my uncle, the famous Captain Will Hawk. The seas were high and the wind was strong, but with my uncle and I sailing the ship, nothing would be able to sink it. "Captain there be another ship approaching. Looks to be….. It is, tis the British. Uncle, what do you want to do?" I said standing my ground with a telescope in hand. "Lower the sails we can't fight in this weather." He shouted to the crew. "Emerald they are after me, now ye go hide. I promised your father that I wouldn't let you get captured by the British or by Captain Black. Now go find Mr. Smith and hide." My Uncle said. "Aye aye, sir" I said and gave him a hug before I ran off to find Mr. Smith.

As I was looking for Mr. Smith, I had to hide so that I wasn't seen, which I was very good at. I climbed up the ropes on to the mast and jumped down and grabbed onto a rope that was being thrust around by the wind. I landed on the deck and ran down to the bottom of the ship. As I was running I ran right into Mr. Smith. "Mr. Smith we have to hide my uncle is surrendering to the British, all they want is him" I said catching my breath.

"Alright come on me lady I know of a secret hiding spot that was created especially for this kind of situation." Mr. Smith said as I followed him. When we stopped all there was, was the wall of the ship. "Are ye sure this is the right spot?" "Aye me lady just watch." He said as he pulled the lantern and the wall of the ship opened up into a small room. After we walked in I felt the ship come to a sudden stop and that's when Mr. Smith shut the door and latched it shut."Mr. Smith why is my uncle surrendering? I thought a pirate is never supposed to unless it is a grave situation." I asked confused.

"Well, ye see me, lady, when your uncle was younger there was a woman by the name of Angela. She was the best thing that ever had happened to your uncle, he loved her very much. Yet one day exactly like this, the same thing happened and the British came after your uncle. He and Angela came and hid in this very here room. Since he wasn't going to surrender easily the British came on board and searched the ship for ye uncle. The British searched and searched, but alas they couldn't find your uncle until one soldier accidentally hit the lantern and the door opened. Your uncle stood in front of Angela ready to fight to keep her safe, but alas the solider hit your uncle on the head and knocked him out. That's how he got that scar right across his left eye. The solider took Angela and the British kept her as a prisoner instead of your uncle...

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.

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.
