It’s begun! Break is over and second semester is starting. Last semester may not have been the greatest, but it doesn’t mean that this one can’t be! Here are 5 ways to start off on the right foot!

1. Stay organized!

Plan your weeks and even your days out, but also realize things may not go as planned so always have a plan b! Keep track of important due dates as well as test dates!

2. Study more, party less.

College is not just about books, but you also have to find time to study! Create a balance for yourself! Make sure to have fun but also keep your studies in check!

3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

No one said college was easy. If you need help in a class don’t be afraid to ask the teacher, ask friends, or even get a tutor! It’s not easy so don’t go through it alone!

4. Stay healthy/relieve stress!

Go to the gym, do yoga, go for a walk just do something to stay healthy and relieve some stress! Also make sure to eat and sleep regularly!

5. Enjoy yourself!

Make sure you actually take something away from each course that you take. Make sure you understand the material and are not just absorbing like a sponge!

Like I said college isn’t easy, but you can make it more manageable for yourself by following these 5 tips! So start off on the right foot and you won’t have to scramble around last minute trying to pass! Good luck and enjoy the semester!

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.

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.
