The Hardest Week Of The School Year

Spring break makes everything afterward more difficult.

The Hardest Week Of The School Year

This week marks the first week back to school after spring break here at the University of Indianapolis. I don't know about anyone else, but this week is always the most difficult week of the school year as far as motivation is concerned. It's a big break right in the middle of the semester, and we're expected to come back from it and jump right back into things.

Even with midterms over, there's still quite a bit going on in all of my classes this week. I have multiple papers and assignments due just this week, plus an exam, and I'm already stressed out about how much I have to do. The worst part about this is that, when I get stressed about things like this, I tend to just ignore them and do other things instead. This is a problem because it just creates more for me to stress about in the end.

I know realistically that I have to figure out how to get everything done without getting too stressed out. That means that I have to balance out work and relaxation. I've always been pretty terrible at this, but it's something I'm determined to work on and get better at. I'm hoping to start this week and really figure out how to balance my time, and this article is the first step because it provides some accountability to myself that I don't otherwise get.

This would all be easier if I had done some of my work over break, but I chose to spend all of my time relaxing instead, even when I consciously thought about everything I would have to do when break ended. I am hopeful, however, that I will be able to successfully finish everything that I have to do this week without wanting to pull my hair out. I have a lot to look forward to this weekend, and I don't want to spoil it by being disappointed in myself.

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.
