I'm 22 Years Old And The Club Scene Isn't For Me

I'd rather talk to you without having to yell at you.

Look I'm all for people doing their thing. If you want to go live it up at a club, go for it! Just don't invite me because I'll say no. I used to go to a "club" all the time in high school. I say "club" because it was 18+ and really a rave but now it's just not my thing. Which is kind of a bummer because every college movie ever makes clubs seem like the "it" thing to be doing.

But honestly, I'd rather just sit on a couch and chat while playing cards. Clubbing feels like a hassle now and one I'm not willing to put myself through. The idea of dressing up and dancing to good music sounds great, it's just all the other things clubbing requires that turn me off.

First, there's all the money you spend paying to park, paying to Uber to avoid that problem, paying to get in, paying way too much for drinks. Then there's all the people which makes the club crowded and hot. Plus you can't talk to your friends at clubs, in order to be heard you would have to yell at them. Which does not sounds like a good time.

I don't really know when I turned into a Gramma who prefers to wrap myself in a blanket and play those card games I mentioned earlier but hey, I guess this is me now.

Clubbing has just lost its appeal. And that's not the worst thing. While I will miss becoming best friends with drunk girls in the bathroom, you can catch me at home on a Saturday night.

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.
