Wake up, check your smart phone, put on makeup and catch the bus.

Back when the 90's babies were in middle school things were so different.

The clothes that we wore back then and the trends that were in are totally different than today. We rocked Silly Bands, traded Pokemon cards, wore Aeropostale and Hollister and dyed our hair strange colors like light pink and purple. Middle schoolers in this time experience middle school differently because of the technology that has come out and the access to the internet. Many of them have I Phones, tablets, and makeup. A lot of them are taller than us 90's babies too.

Now it consists of wake up and check your social media. Start getting ready for school, put on the latest outfit from Forever 21, put on makeup which includes contouring and catch the bus. Or if you are lucky you will ride to school and arrive with your Starbucks drink that you will have to toss once class starts. Once you arrive at the school meet up with your closest girlfriends at your designated spot and take lots of selfies on snap chat, and Instagram. Catch up on the latest gossip.

It is so different from the 90's babies. We were lucky if we had a Razor. That was the best thing back then. We also didn't pay too much attention to the clothes that we wore. Recess was still a thing at my middle school well at least in 6th grade and all the kids would enjoy it very much. We would play tag, hide and go seek and basketball.

The middle schoolers today do not know how to use their imagination. At any free moment between classes, you will see tons of middle school aged girls and boys on their phones and not focused on what is around them. You would be surprised to learn that middle school crushes still exist - well duh. They are very different than what they used to be back in the early 2000's though.

Do you remember passing notes to your crush asking if they liked you? I'm sure you remember only having a certain amount of minutes on your phone and having to communicate through other people. Middle schoolers don't have to pass notes or go through 3rd parties anymore to communicate. They just text each other.

Can you believe that middle schoolers don't have I pods and mp3 players anymore, no more Razor flip phones, Game Boys, Silly Bands, Aeropostal or Hollister? Those were really some of the best days. Well, at least they were for me. Middle schoolers now are so fortunate to have the advanced technology. I hope every middle schooler learns to appreciate the time they are in now. Life flies by so fast. Please enjoy being a kid while you can.

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.
