We all have heard of the famous TV Host, Ellen Degeneres. While hosting her show on NBC at 3 P.M. every single day Monday through Friday, Ellen is known for being relatable.

In fact, as a college student, Ellen is sometimes VERY relatable.

1. Terrible eating habits

When you know you're getting the Freshman 15, then the sophomore, and then the junior. Oh please, do not let this continue into the senior year!

2. When you are a star student.

Okay, so maybe you actually turned your assignment in at 11:49 instead of 11:59 P.M. You deserve a medal! Who says participation medals are silly? You go ahead and get that 10% of your grade participation points!

3. Lecture feels

When you're in double block lecture trying to stay awake. Even in an 8 A.M. class, this will probably be you as your professor clicks through the endless amount of slides.

4. The beginning of the year

Go ahead, ask me for a fun fact. Do you want two truths and a lie? Want to know my major and year? You have been prepping for this day since last semester.

5. The struggle

When your life is going down the toilet and you feel like you're drowning in homework, don't. Go ahead and drown in a box of wine instead! It will make you feel better.

6. Going out

When you finish your box of wine and need to go out, dress like Ellen. Go out, and forget about your cares in the world and all of those assignments due at 11:59 P.M. tomorrow.

7. People need to be quiet.

You probably say this to that one annoying kid in class who wants to remind the professor about an assignment or a quiz. You also probably say this to people like your roomies on a Friday morning after a crazy Thursday night out at AXP or Phi Kap.

We may all watch Ellen at 3 P.M. every day but, as college kids, we also need to live like Ellen every day. No matter if you are working hard or maybe playing hard, remember to always be kind to one another!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

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.
