Be You, Be Bold

We are all so unique, why hide it?

Sometimes there are things that we want to say, but just can't get ourselves to. Sometimes there are things that we want to do, but the fear of actually following through is holding us back. Sometimes we filter what we say, because we are afraid of what others will think.

What we should be doing is saying how we feel, not holding anything back. What you want to say, needs to be heard. What you are thinking is important and should be shared. We need to stop being afraid of what others will think. We have so much to offer the world. Instead of shying away from what you feel and what you want to say, say it. Be confident in yourself and don't let the fear of judgment stand in your way.

If you want to be adventurous, then you can't let the fear of trying new things hold you back. There is so much to see, so much to do, and letting that fear keep us from seeing and doing those things would be devastating. Go adventure, do something you never have, and be bold.

Don't be afraid to be yourself, either. So many of us are filtering what we say, changing what we wear, and pushing down our personalities in order to blend in. Scratch that. Be you, be outgoing, be goofy, if people don't like that about you then you'll find people that do. We are all so incredibly unique in our own way and it would be a shame if each of us weren't sharing what makes us standout with others.

Be You, Be Bold.

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.
