Finals Will Not Get the Best of Me
Adrianna Laskowski

Finals week is approaching and giving me anxiety. Guess all the time I spent looking up random website and watching Netflix during class has finally caught up with me. Sitting in the review classes and not knowing 50 percent of the information is giving me a little bit of stress. Okay, a lot of stress, and I have no idea what I am going to do about it.

As I sit in class, finally listening to the professor, I realize it is time to buckle down and study. I will not let finals week get the best of me. I will not have a mental breakdown over the ideals in a working-class family. It is time for me to sit down and study the notes that my friend has written, and learn the information that I should have learned in the beginning of the semester. Index cards are set out all over my room, along with notes, textbooks, and highlighters.

Guys, take my advice--do not slack off. It will be the death of you. This is the time to learn new things that you are interested in. College should not be as stressful as it is to me during finals. I know this may sound like one of your professors during the beginning of the semester, but they are not kidding. Pay attention, do not be like me. I am close to having a mental breakdown all because I wanted to watch the new season of the "Fuller House." I could have watched it at midnight instead of watching it in class when the professor was going over the “easy” final.

Finals week should only be a little bit stressful, because you must study the things you already know. It should not be you must learn an entire semester of work in one night.

Good luck guys!

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.
