Bad Year To A Good Year

End of the Grieving Year

20
Bad Year To A Good Year
Dreamstrime

So the year has come to an end, and everyone can breathe a tiny bit easier. This year has actually been the worst possible year considering the deaths. 2017 is closing in fast so I can finally say goodbye to this crappy year and say hello to a year that I hope will be a whole lot better.

Now before anyone says anything, this isn't about the election. To be honest we've voted for some bad presidents in the past. But this article is about everyone and all the bad things that have happened this year. Seriously, we've had youtubers, actors, singers and wrestlers die. This year to me has just been one big grieving time to remember those who've passed. Literally I thought we were done until Carrie Fisher died. Who's next, Betty White?

Seriously the two that impacted me the most was Christina Grimmie and Prince. Christina shocked me since she was a contestant on The Voice and a YouTuber, and when she was murdered it was after her concert in Orlando. Really? She was one of those people who wanted to make a difference. Prince was Prince. Seriously he is a legend of music. I literally wanted him to do at least one more tour. He was my mother's favorite person in the world. I've always wanted to know why he was so popular because everyone knew him, even if I've never heard his music.

Any possible way you think about this year, it's been nothing but death. 2017, however, I sincerely hope that this year is the birth of kids who will become legends in the world and a celebration of love, life, friendship, and affection. I hope 2017 is a time for rebuilding, redesign and birth of a new world so we can move on with all of the crap that has happened over this year. I can honestly say everything has been severely dark and sad. Thanks for nothing, 2016, except heartbreak torment and grieving. So in the end, 2016 is going to be gone soon so I'll ask 2017 to please, and I'm begging you, to be great for everyone and everything, please. Cause we can't have another year like this. Seriously we cannot have another year like this one since it was that dang terrible.

Goodbye bad year and hello to a great one.

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.
