Dear New Roommate

Sometimes finding a roommate can be hard, but maybe we were made for each other.

Wallpaper Abyss

I feel as though I know everything about you, yet I know nothing about you.

Over the past three years we have had our ups and downs in our lives and I can’t wait to be able to grow closer to you. You and I have a lot in common already, and I know that we’ll find more to obsess over together in the next few months.

We all have our problems. You know this, and I know this.

We also have our differences, which I’m sure we’ve pointed out plenty of times to ourselves already.

Both of us have had our ups and downs with roommates over the past three years, and I am so happy to be able to finally find a roommate who feels like the perfect fit! We’re both crazy at times and enjoy laughing together, but as we venture through our senior year together I’m sure there will be plenty of tears, especially as choir camp comes around.

As you know, I am an introvert and pretty much a homebody. I don’t go to the parties on the weekends, mostly because I would rather spend time with a few close friends or cuddled up in a blanket watching Netflix. I enjoy my alone time to recharge, as introverts do, so I hope you’re not offended if I don’t talk to you much after a weekend choir tour. (Though I don’t think you’ll mind too much since everyone is tired of everyone after choir tours.)

From what I know about you, you’re more of an extrovert, and you enjoy the parties on the weekends, to an extent at least. You enjoy being around people and messing with them in cute and funny ways. Of course, I can’t forget about your hockey obsession. How could I forget the person who introduced me to Check Please!

We have our common interests, such as our love of cats (I’m determined to cover our room in cats this year) and our love of musicals (which will be on play Non-Stop throughout the year). Just as you are determined to introduce me to new and amazing things, I will do the same.


I believe that our friendship will flourish over the next few months. We will grow closer together and we will find new things to obsess over together. Everything will turn out perfectly in its own way as things often do.

Hopefully we won’t grow tired of each other as roommates often do, that way we can bug each other well into the future. I love you and I absolutely cannot wait to see you again very soon!

(P.S. We need more pictures together!)

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.

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.
