To My Best Friend Who Graduated Before Me
Nicole Evans

The friendships you make in college are truly one of a kind. You're living in literally a five-minute radius of everything: food, classes, parties, and your best friends. I never realized what kind of privilege it was to live with your best friend until it was taken away from me.

While we were both in college, we were inseparable. From getting lunch between classes to dancing at frat parties... we went to everything together. You were my shoulder to cry on and my Netflix binge partner. But once you graduated that all changed, including us.

We went from "I'll see you in a second!" to "Do you have a free weekend next month?" all at once. You're out job hunting in the big girl world now and I'm still shuffling my way across campus to get to class. There is no more making last minute lunch plans as we're getting out of class. I can't call you crying to have you at my door minutes later with ice cream and pink Moscato. We can't get dinner together before chapter every Sunday and we can't sleep next to each other at sisterhood retreat.

But just because this part of our friendship is over, doesn't mean our friendship is. Things are different now and it sucks. We will never have our time spent in college together back and right now we have to go our separate ways while we are both at different stages in our lives. But you can bet a pumpkin spiced latte that you are still, and always will be, my best friend.

I can't wait to join you in the big girl world, even if that does mean I'll have to actually adult.

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.
