To The One Who Always Pops Back Into Your Life As Soon As You're Over Them

The universe has a sick sense of humor.

Honestly, it happens to almost all of us, even the ones who do the “popping.” You know what I am talking about, right?

The ones who fill your time with plans they have no intention of keeping, who fill your heart with false promises and words that, well, are only words backed by no actions. Yet, we still deal with it.

Why is that?

Well, unfortunately for us being human and all, we always want what we can’t have.

Why is it that when a nice boy who can wear his heart on his sleeve, who makes me a priority and actually follows through with our plans is someone I don’t ever go for? I go for the infamous “bad boy” who has me checking my phone every minute on the minute, who has me second guessing every word or action and makes me feel so completely insecure when I know I’m not “that” girl.

But, I think, maybe, we all do have to be “that” girl. So that when we’re finally done with all of the losers we’ve tried and failed to change, we can appreciate a good man coming into our lives, waiting to sweep us off our feet. So that I can be the woman my future Prince Charming deserves.

Maybe the universe does this on purpose, to see if we’ve really changed or not, to see if we’ve really learned our worth yet and if we really know and understand what we deserve.

For me, this person came into my life and had me hooked instantly. We had such great chemistry and for me, at least, that is so hard to find. He had baggage, and I didn’t care, I was ready to accept it. Which probably says something, I am just not sure what that is yet.

But, then, his true colors showed he wasn’t respectful of my time and that he absolutely did not know how to communicate properly.

It’s time for me to take the advice that I have no problem dishing out, and it’s to not be “that” girl. It is so much easier said than done, we all know this. This time he popped into my world when I am about to make the biggest decision of my life – to move to California. I know he has the capability to keep me here. Funny how the universe works that way, right?

Well, joke's on you this time.

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.
