To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

You're pretty cool, I guess.

Dear Big Brother,

You are the biggest peasant I've ever had to deal with in my whole entire life. But you're my peasant and I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world – I guess. We may not have always been the best of friends, but now that we're older, I'm glad you have realized how cool and awesome your little sister is. I know you enjoy having me in your life not only as a sister but also as a friend. Growing up with you may not have been the easiest, but it sure has taught me some lessons.

Thanks for practicing all of those wrestling moves on me. You know, like the choke slam, or that elbow thing. I'm not even going to talk about how you made up your own move trying to absorb me. But as a result of that, I'm pretty tough now. If any boy ever tries to but his hands on me, I don't think he'll be prepared for what I'm going to do to him. I guess I have you to thank for that.

Thanks for never letting me win in any video games we played. Even if I begged, pleaded, you still didn't let me win. Remember that one time when you wanted to show how much better you were than me in Super Smash Bros Melee that you left the room with the wireless control and you were still somehow able to beat me? Good times....for you. But if I'm being honest, you are the best and by playing the best and constantly losing, you eventually get better. So I guess I got better (years later) because I can beat you in smash now – in yo face. While we're on the topic of games, though, thanks for letting me copy you and play all the games you played (but if I remember correctly you hated that I copied you so much). But since I did copy you so much I was able to know about games like Smash, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong countries 1-3 for SNES. Who would've known that the friends I've made in college play or like most of those games too. I actually became friends with them by playing Super Smash Brothers.

And then there were my guinea pigs. Thanks for....well yeah there's no lesson to be learned from that story moving on.....

Not only have I learned a lot from you big peasant brother, but we've also had a lot of fun times together. Like Christmas shopping together every year (even though we always ended up fighting). Or all of our car rides together aka Z time, my favorite time. But then there was that one car ride we had together that I'm pretty sure you and I are never going to forget. Good times. We also go to movies and dinner together. Or to amusement parks and ride all of the rollercoasters. We watch old episodes of Spongebob together and laugh at the same parts every time. I wonder where our relationship would be without Spongebob honestly....

I can't say that we've gone to concerts together because you're a peasant and didn't want to go to the Drake and Future concert with me....but who needs to see them when I have an older brother who can spit rhymes just as good (did I say that right? Let's pretend I did).

So I guess what I am trying to say, is that you're a pretty awesome, and I am lucky to have you as a big brother. I love you.

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.

panera bread

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.

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.
