A Letter To My Mom

Without you, I'd be nothing.

A Letter To My Mom
Briget Sarah

Mom,

The amount of love and effort that you've put into our family is unreal. You have put yourself last in every situation since my sisters and I ever existed. You're such an amazing woman. I hope to be half of the mom that you are one day.

You have been my number one protector and mentor since day one. You've always been there for me, helping me in any situation I've ever needed. You've been there to give me advice at any hour of the night.

You're there when I have a question ranging from how to cook something to making doctors appointments. Again, you haven't put yourself first in any situation involving your family since your family started, and that's such a selfless act. You're such a selfless person. You're a beautiful, generous, caring, and silly person that I'm so lucky to call my mom.

Watching you do what you love most, teaching, really proves what an amazing human being you are. You're patient with strangers, people who don't know you. You're kind, never yelling, and never letting anything get the best of you because you are a selfless human. Everything I've learned has come from you.

I know I'll keep growing and becoming the person I'm meant to be. With your lessons and knowledge you'll pass on to me, I know everything in life will be okay.

I know, one day, you'll be an amazing grandmother to my kids. I see how you are with your nieces or any other baby on the planet, and I admire your love for kids. You taught me so much about loving others and being sympathetic towards others. I know I'll teach my kids the same things. I look forward to seeing all of the memories we'll make in the upcoming years.

Seeing you happy is one of the best things I've seen. I hope this letter makes you happy. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and everything you do for me.

Xoxo,
Brig

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.
