Cut The Drama, It's Time To Grow Up

As we mature in life, we will encounter many different people in life. Some will be in your life forever, others will come and go. However, one thing you will learn is that some people will always be stuck in that high school drama phase.

Come on people, we're all adults here. So why can't we let go of the past? All of that high school drama needs to be left in high school. It's time to move on. It's time to act like an adult.

If you get mad at someone at work, apologize and get over it. Don't hold a grudge against someone. You need to take responsibility for your own actions and realize that it's not all about you. Maybe in high school, you were the "cool kid" or "miss popularity," but this is real life. People don't care about the clothes you wear or the car you have. It's not about your hair or even your phone. We're all on this earth to live.

That's what I love about college. Literally, nobody cares. You could show up in your pajamas and people would completely understand. Everyone knows how stressful college is, so there's very little drama. We all have the same goal - make friends and get an education. So why can't we grow up and act like college students?

Once you graduate high school, you need to push all of that drama out of your life. Focus on yourself and what you want in life. We all have a low paying job to begin with; it's a learning experience. With this being said, stop judging people based on their jobs, especially if you work a job with the same pay! Working a minimum wage job motivates us to push ourselves to be better. However, acting like you're the best employee around isn't going to get you anywhere. Nobody likes a kiss-up.

Also, quit ruining other people's lives just to make yourself feel better. If you see someone having a good day, compliment them. DON'T try to bring them down. You wouldn't appreciate it if someone did that to you, so why do it to them? Do you find happiness in their misery? Do you hate seeing other people happy? Doing so is not going to get you more attention, so just quit the immature act and grow up.

Acting immature is not going to get you that big promotion or a spot on the homecoming court. Being dramatic is going to make you successful in life. People don't want to deal with people who are only going to bring them down. We all have too much going on in our lives to hold onto the grudges. Once you decide to let go of the past and start living for the future, I promise you will be much happier in life. So stop bringing others down and start lifting them up.

We're all adults here, so why can't we just cut the drama and grow up?

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.
