I'm The Republican Woman Who Has The #ChristianGirlAutumn Aesthetic, But I'm No Racist

I will continue to curl my hair and wear blanket scarves and J. Crew vests with just about every outfit.

Fall is my favorite season, and I am not ashamed to say that. The leaves changing colors and falling to the ground so I can hear them crunch as I walk over them makes my heart skip with joy. I also love anything pumpkin-flavored, but only in small doses. PSL's are fine and dandy every once in a while, but I'd much rather drink an iced coffee with a shot of pumpkin syrup.

You could say I'm just like the rest of the world when it comes to the fall season, but I don't see it.

So many people have traded blanket scarves for scrunchies and chunky sweaters for oversized tie-dye T-shirts.

Not this girl.

I will gladly wear a vest and booties any day of my life, and you probably couldn't catch me dead in a T-shirt that covers the length of my shorts.

The whole joke about #ChristianGirlAutumn started as a way to mock white women and the way they dress and present themselves.

I am a white woman, and I am not offended by it at all, because it's true. If someone doesn't like the way I dress or present myself, that's on them, not on me.

Being a #ChristianGirlAutumn kinda girl also doesn't mean I am a blatant racist and anti-LGBTQ. This is far from the truth. Yes, I am a Christian and conservative, but that doesn't mean I think the same as all the old white men in Washington D.C.

So, I will continue to curl my hair, wear blanket scarves and J.Crew vests with just about every outfit, in addition to having a Starbucks cup in my hand at (almost) all times.

And when summertime hits, you can bet I'll be wearing Lilly Pulitzer and Jack Rogers every day.

#ChristianGirlSummer.

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.
