Dear La Piñata,

I want to start off with a "don't go," so I can at least go on record with my broken heart and empty stomach that I tried to make you stay. I heard the rumors spreading through the town, and it was only until I walked in for what I didn't realize was my last chimichanga from your kitchen that I was going to receive confirmation to the rumors from my mom (she's a huge fan of yours as well), and I hoped weren't true.

For those of you who haven't been blessed with the opportunity to spend your time here in Oxford enjoying La Piñata because you aren't one for Mexican food, or you are one of the crazy few who actually for some god-awful reason think Charra is better, Piñata is the home to dollar margs, somehow the best grilled chicken in a 30-mile radius and flexible hours for when Gio (also goes by Ignacio for those he hasn't provided free shots to) decides to stay open an hour later because he sees you're having a good time.

You've really become a staple in my life. Bad day? Marg. Great day? Marg. Dad broke his arm moving me in and Mom and I needed a place to drink away our frustration while he was at the hospital? Marg. You watched me grow from my first night out in college, to your final days standing and through every birthday of mine in between.

I can't believe our time has come—the time that you turn off your grills, stop the frozen margarita machines from spinning and close your doors forever.

I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of all those who have entered your doors. Oxford and all of the students you've provided endless shots of tequila, chips and salsa, quesadillas, fajitas and dollar margs to will miss you greatly.

On that note, gracias, adiós and how about one last round?

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.

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.

Queen B sums it up for us.

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.
