What It Was Like To Grow Up As A Preppy Kid

Growing up in Connecticut, I was definitely what most would consider a "preppy" child. If you can relate to any of these things listed below... I'm sorry, but you were too.

This was your first day of school outfit.

You definitely owned at least one pair of Eliza B's.

... And Jack Rogers.


Probably some Sperrys as well.


Lilly Pulitzer was your favorite brand.

You even wore their bathing suits.

But that didn't mean you didn't love Vineyard Vines just as much... you may have even had the bumper sticker on your car.


Don't forget about Ralph Lauren! You owned a collard shirt, a pair of shorts, a dress or even socks with the infamous polo horseman logo.


You always had a white sweater ready, and when it was too warm, it was tied around your waist.

Pink and green was the perfect color combination.

At least one thing you owned was monogrammed.

A big bow on the top of your head was the perfect accessory.

But you enjoyed headbands equally.

You owned a Vera Bradley pencil case.

Collard shirts were worn regularly.


You loved your cable knit sweater in the winter.

But in the summer you loved going out on your family's boat.

The first pair of earrings you owned were pearls.


Your mom shopped for you at crewcuts.

You took tennis lessons.

Your brother owned this outfit.

Your dad probably golfs.

This was your Christmas card.

And unfortunately you were not allowed to shop at Limited Too.

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.
