8 Millennial Trends I'm Totally Here For

Personal photo

I was born in December of 1999, so currently, there is a discrepancy as to whether I am a Millennial or Gen-Z. None of this matters though, because I'm a sucker for Millennial trends! It doesn't help that my sister and all of my older cousins are full-blown Millennials, so I have learned from the very best.

1. Avocado Toast

YUM!!!! I could eat this everyday... with or without eggs or any other added flavor!

2. Sriracha

I'm not quite sure why I am so obsessed with this stuff, but I put it on almost everything (especially my avocado toast)!

3. Smoothie/Açaí bowls

These have been my go-to this summer! A new place opened up right down the street from my theatre company's studio, so I have been broke thanks to them. My favorite part is the granola and Nutella *heart eyes*!

4. Brunch

Is it breakfast? Is it lunch? Who cares, IT'S DELICIOUS!

5. Rose gold

My iPhone, my favorite hoops, and my sunglasses are all rose gold. I was never a fan of pink, but something about this metallic color makes me smile! Also, how AMAZING are these Mickey's ears?? Definitely getting these on my next trip to my favorite place on earth.

6. Memes

I would just like to take a moment to thank the Millennials that started this whole "meme thing". Thank you for entertaining me when I scroll through the thousands of meme pages I follow on Instagram.

7. Bye bye napkins and straws!

Another thank you for trying to make our world a better place to live in! Millennials are single-handedly ruining the napkin and straw business.

Spinning, yoga, Oragnetheory, Zumba, etc. Millennials have made exercise fun! I love all types of yoga, but currently, I've really been into hot yoga and aerial yoga. I definitely recommend checking them out!

If you ask any marketing director, they would all categorize me as a Gen-Z, but I seriously think being a millennial is my true calling. Now if you would please excuse me, there's some avocado toast and some unseen memes calling my name!

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.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

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.
