A College Student Reaction To The Last Few Months Of The Year

I don't know where time went, but we suddenly only have 2 months left of the year. As the end of the year approaches, I'm never quite sure how to feel. To help explain what I mean, here are some tv characters.

1. Halloween!

As September draws to a close, everyone starts getting excited for Halloween! October means a whole month of pumpkins, haunted houses, fun costumes and so much more!

2. The first chill to the bone

As much as I love fall for its perfect weather, it seems as though it's a little too short. One day it's nice outside, but the next you feel it; the first drop of temperature that's too cold. The worst part? You know it's only going to go downhill from here, better break out your scarves and boots!

3. When it gets dark early

I don't know about you, but nothing makes me more unmotivated than walking out of class and it being dark. I feel like the whole rest of the day is gone. All I want to do is curl up under a blanket and go to sleep, but it's only 5 p.m.! What gives?

4. THANKSGIVING!

I know that a lot of people get excited for Christmas and tend to skip over it, but Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just have lots of great family memories of Thanksgiving that I'll never forget. And besides, it gives you a reason to eat double your weight in delicious food without judgment, can't beat that!

5. Snow

When I was younger, I loved snow. It was pretty and fun to play in. Then I got to college and I had to walk to class in it. And by walk to class I mean slip and slide to class.

6. Christmas!


Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I love making people happy and surprising them with gifts, and Christmas gives me the perfect excuse! It's always great to see the way people's faces light up when you got the perfect thing.

7. Finals.

However, standing between you and all of that holiday cheer are finals. Sleepless nights, stressful days and lots of caffeine. You just have to push through and remind yourself that it'll all be worth it and you'll get a break as soon as it's all over.

8. Leaving

Despite all the holiday cheer, there's a certain sadness to December. If you're anything like me, you live too far away from your college family to see them over break. All you can do is give them their presents, say your goodbyes and hope that the next 5 weeks fly by.

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.
