"The Best Years Of Your Life"
Sarah Richter

02.17.2017

They always told me that college would be "the best four years of my life." But my second year of college is almost over, and I can't confirm that to be true. I feel like most of my college experience has been watching the ones around me having the best years of their life, while I create a life on social media convincing others and even myself that everything is just fine. Maybe that's why I've always been so big on taking pictures. With pictures, you can create an image to capture a moment exactly how you want to remember it, even when that moment is gone. I always wonder if others are also in the same boat and if people aren't truly as happy as they portray themselves to be.

Lately, I've been just been trying to get through my days. School days are easier but tiring, I guess it's easier because I can distract myself with my obligations, even if those obligations have no real significance to me.They're all thing of this world. I can't say all days are bad, I'd be a liar to say that. There are some real good days, but most of my days a spent alone and that weight me down the most. Those who never have never dealt with these kinds of thing will tell me that it doesn't matter because I have God. But God's up there and I'm over here. Although I know he'll never leave me or forsake, it doesn't change the everyday real feeling that I have. In the beginning God mad man, and say that he was alone so he made him a companion. God knew it wasn't good for man to be alone. I don't even want a significant other. I just want someone, anyone one in the same world as me. I feel like either no one cares, or there's no one I can truly relate to. What's life if you can't share the laughter or the tears with the ones around you.

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.
