An Open Letter To College Students After Spring Break

Dear College Students,

Spring break is here, and soon it will be over. With spring break being over, that means it is time to go back to college and start procrastinating on more work. I don't know about you, but once spring break is over it is really hard to focus and want to do anything that involves work or studying! The weather starts to get nicer, the sun comes out, and being outside is just pure joy. Sitting in a classroom when it is nice out is nothing but torture, and I am sure that many college students can agree with me. I am writing this letter to tell you that we only have a little over a month of college left, and then we are officially done for the summer! It may be difficult to sit down and study or do work, but trust me, you can do it if you put your mind to it. Even though we may struggle to stay focused on school work, we can tell ourselves that we are almost done and that we can finish this last month or so out. At this point in the semester when spring break is over, you probably have a countdown going just like I do. If you don't have a countdown for the remaining days of the semester, try making one and you will find you pushing yourself into doing work knowing that it is almost summer time!

After spring break is over, you will also find yourself struggling to continue wearing winter clothes. There is just something about spring break that gets me wanting to put away my winter clothes and get out my spring and summer clothes. There is probably going to be chances for more snow, and colder temperatures which really makes you miserable because you are just ready to say goodbye to heavy sweaters, jeans, and boots! The sun will be shining more, which makes it even harder knowing that the temperature still is not warm enough to wear shorts, skirts, and sandals.

As a college student I am writing this to say that there might be struggles day in and day out after spring break, and it may seem nearly impossible to continue doing school work and studying, but let me tell you it is possible! Set your goal as working towards summer vacation, and think that each assignment you turn in and each exam you complete, you are one step closer to summer!

Sincerely,

A college student who is struggling just thinking of spring break ending

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.
