Dear big sister,

With the school year coming to a close, this means you only have one year left of law school. I know that the past two years have been the most difficult years of your life. And I can honestly say that I have never seen someone work so hard.

Your determination has been unbelievably inspiring. I will never understand how you managed to balance so many classes, studying all night, and having a job. I can only imagine the amount of stress you have been through every day. But now you will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

To be honest no one was surprised that you chose to do your undergrad 1,240 miles from home. And no one was surprised that you graduated with a double major in political science and philosophy. Of course my argumentative older sister that made sure everything was fair was going to become a lawyer. I could not imagine you becoming anything else.

Our entire childhood I knew that you were smart, hardworking, brave, and incredibly strong. You are the only person I know that is courageous enough to pay for more schooling to do one of the world's hardest professions. No matter what life has thrown at you, you have stayed strong and confident. And I think it helps that you are incredibly competitive and determined.

It takes a tough person to be able to go through law school. I am so proud of you, even though you criticize t.v shows a lot if they get a courtroom scene wrong.

So big sister, please keep working hard and remember that it will pay off. I'm so proud of you. Keep smiling through the stress, I know you are going to be an incredible lawyer!

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

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.
