1. Get at least 7 hours of sleep a night

So, you got a solid 5 hours of sleep a night last semester and ended up taking a nap in your 9 am lecture, right? Let's shoot for a few more hours of sleep a night this semester and avoid those naps during class.

2. Exercise a little more

We'll be honest, the cafe offers tons of food for us which also isn't always the healthiest. On top of that, it's a buffet style too. How about we aim to avoid those pesky few pounds this semester and exercise a bit more.

3. Join a club

We have our daily routines. Go to class, get lunch, go to class, watch Netflix, and go to bed. We stay in the same rut each day for the most part and don't ever stray from that. This semester, go join a club! Get out of your rut and meet some new people too!

4. Spend less

Admit it, that Wendy's was not worth it at all. Okay, maybe it was at the time, but after the holidays your bank account was already hurting enough. One less food trip a week won't hurt you.

5. Finish that paper a day in advance

We all procrastinated enough last semester which caused some unneeded stress. That paper loomed over us for weeks, but we still chose to wait, didn't we? Let's cut down on the stress and get ahead of the game early.

6. Make a new friend

You know that weird kid in 2B? He's actually really nice and gives out chocolate.

7. Call home more

You know you miss them, you know you love them, call them. They miss you, they love you, they want to talk. So five minutes turns into an hour, family is worth it.

8. Try extreme couponing

You know how we talked about cutting out that extra meal during the week? Well, now you can have it! I don't have much advice for you, but good luck! If you're good enough, maybe you can have your own special called "Extreme Couponing: College Edition".

9. Get up before noon on the weekends

You're wasting away your whole day if you stay in bed. Get out and get some exercise. Maybe do you extreme couponing today. There are so many options available to you so why waste them for a little extra sleep?

10. Get that 4.0

You can do it! I've given you a recipe for success this semester so stick to it and see that GPA rise! You'll make mom proud too.

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.

Blair Waldorf
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.

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
