Pre-End Of Semester Emotions Are At An All-Time High

Every college student comes to the point in the semester when their emotions are running all over the place and they just feel absolutely scatterbrained. That time for most student is a little bit before Thanksgiving break, which means that time is currently in effect. This is a stressful time for students because they are so many things due before we reach that week long vacation from going to class and doing homework. Everyone is basically running around campus like a chicken with its head cut off trying not to panic about all of the deadlines that are being pressured onto them all at once. If they're not showing their full panic mode, they are sitting in the library for 12+ hours a day trying to keep their cool under control. There are some people that feel as if they're the only ones going through this, but it happens to everyone at least once. For others it happens three times a semester just depending on what said person's major is. With finals being so close, no one will be able to keep their cool.

The time is so close to be done with classes this semester that procrastination is coming out to play in an extremely bad way. I myself and one of these people who are already just so done with this semester that they procrastinate until the very last second which makes the amount of stress skyrocket through the roof. We all know better than to wait until the last minute, but in all honesty, procrastination takes over your entire brain and makes you not care whether or not you finish your assignment or project. It's a trap! Do not fall for it!

Every student has the breakdown where they just want to drop out of school and work a minimum wage job for the rest of their lives, but we are all better than that. Finish getting that degree and go out into the world with the mindset of becoming the next CEO or the highest position in whatever your job may be after graduation. We have all made it this far, we can continue to keep going. All we need is a little motivational push and about 7 cups of coffee.

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.
