Follow Your Dreams And You'll Go Far

"Everything will be alright, and I will be happy."

Follow Your Dreams And You'll Go Far

There is no set "life" that we all have to follow. That is the beauty of life itself. We have the power to make our life the best it can be.

So GO FOR IT! Whatever your dreams are, go for it. Whatever your wants and needs are, go get them. The only person that can stop you is yourself.

Of course, there are going to be times where you doubt who you are, what you want, and what will happen if things do not end up the way you wish. Well I have had those thoughts and still do, but in the end, ask yourself, would you rather sit there and always wonder what could be?

If you want to graduate college, strive to do your best in classes. If you want to be a famous singer then go sing. If you want to be a lawyer, then go work your butt off and become a lawyer. If you want to become a doctor, then grab those MCAT test prep books and start studying. Nothing can stop you but yourself. Money, time, people, etc. will try to stop you, but only you can let those things bring you to a halt.

My message to all of you is GO FOR IT! Try. Do your best. Who knows your dreams could come true. But there are a few things to remember. One, always have a backup plan. This way you are prepared and have a fall back in case you changed your mind or things do not work out. and two, always make sure you are happy. Happiness is what should drive you. Do not let money be the main factor of your goals. Money can bring a lot into your life, but in the end, money runs out of things only happiness and life can give you.

Stay humble and focused. Look into the mirror and tell yourself every day that " I will be a doctor and make a difference one life at a time." or "I will be a lawyer.", or even having a goal and telling yourself "Everything is going to be alright and I will be happy."

You have the power to create your own life. So... GO FOR IT!

From a girl who is going for it herself. Good luck and stay focused.

Stay True,

Montana Joleen

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.
