You wake up in a cold sweat. You’re shaking. You’re raking your brain to see if you did anything you’ll regret last night (and you probably did). This overwhelming sense of dread is the "Sunday Scaries." You wasted an entire weekend drinking and then it hits you that real life starts tomorrow.

Urban Dictionary defines Sunday Scaries, “The feeling you have after a long week of work followed by a Saturday full of binge drinking, when Sunday hits you question your entire existence. Typically characterized by laying in bed all day and both regretting past decisions and questioning your seemingly non-existent future.”

Sounds about right.

Here are seven simple fixes for when the Sunday Scaries hit you.

1. SLEEP

Take a nap. It’s a nice way to calm yourself down and catch up on some of the sleep you definitely missed this weekend

2. Don’t leave all your homework, grocery shopping, cleaning, work, etc. for Sunday.

If you don’t rely on Sunday as your catch-up day, you can use it as a Netlfix binge day and not feel guilty.

3. Get out of the house.

Go for a hike, walk your dog, or even just going for a jog can be a good way to get your mind off the impending doom that is Monday.

4. Take a break from social media.

If you’re embarrassed about what you did on someone’s Snapchat story, or have FOMO about what your friends were doing this weekend, social media is not going to help you get your mind right when you’re preparing for the upcoming week.

5.Eat your favorite food.

There is nothing that takeout Pad Thai can’t fix.

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.
