Aren't we all Olympians in our own way?

The Olympic Events give countries a chance to come together and watch the world’s greatest athletes compete in several sports. And if you're American, the Olympic Events are usually a reminder that other sports exist outside of baseball, basketball, and football.

But you might not have time to watch this year's Olympic Winter Games, especially if you’re a college student. Don’t worry, however! Your everyday activities are just as impressive as an Olympic Event. Or so you tell yourself.

1. Eating an entire pizza by yourself.


OK, so this technically counts as competitive eating. But your only competition is your body’s desire to stop eating. Remember, any pizza is a personal pizza if you’re brave enough.


2. Summoning the willpower to do laundry.

College laundry rooms are often the busiest yet awkward places on campuses. Even if you manage to find one with free washers and dryers, there’s always the chance that your hamper or bag might break and spill your clothes all over the floor. May the gods of detergent smile upon you.


3. Waking up late and subsequently rushing to class.

You've slept through your alarm. Or maybe you forgot to set an alarm in the first place. Either way, your class starts in five minutes and you haven't even gotten out of bed yet.


4. FaceTiming, Skyping, or just talking with your parents while hungover.

I am not condoning underage drinking, nor am I suggesting that it's just a part of college life. But let's not kid ourselves. If you've to recover from a wild night, catching up with your parents probably isn't one of your priorities. And if you know your parents wouldn't approve of the wild night you just had, you'll probably have to act normally. But all the coffee in the world won't help you explain to them why you’re wearing sunglasses indoors.


5. Writing a satirical clickbait article.

Do you think this is easy? Well it is, as long as you can live with selling your soul for those sweet, sweet views.

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

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.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! 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.
