Four Ways To Figure Out What's Wrong With You
Noble Direct

Not knowing what is wrong with you is the worst feeling. Recently, I've been getting blood test after blood test to figure out why my body is behaving poorly. I'm not going to get into what's wrong with me, in particular. But it's worrisome, not going to lie.

So here's what to do if you think there might be something wrong with you. Also, I am obviously not a doctor, but this is what I've been doing. Take this list with a grain of salt and please see an actual doctor. Naturopaths don't count, in my honest opinion.

1. Write Down What You Eat

This one is easy, maybe your diet is making your body work harder than it needs to. Gluten issues, dairy issues? Anything is possible. Technically, cow milk really isn't for human digestive systems, so cheese or coffee could be making you feel sick more often than you'd like. Also, write down how you feel a couple of hours after your meal! That way, you can narrow down what food is making you feel bad exactly.

2. See an Actual Doctor

This is pretty straightforward. You feel sick? See a doctor. They're more helpful than TV says they are.

3. Calm Down

Stress can really screw with your system. Cortisol is known as the stress hormone and can mess with your digestion, make you bloated, and cause acne. Basically, it's a stress hormone that makes you more stressed out. Try some yoga. Sounds hippy, I know, but it actually works.

4. Your Brain Could Be Causing Your Issues

Sometimes, when you believe something to be true, your brain can make that falsity into a reality. So, again, calm yourself. Your brain is more powerful than you'd think.

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.
