I'm A City Girl Don't @ Me

Always have been, always will be.

I'm not sure if it's a vibe I give off or if people can see right through me, but I recently had a conversation with someone and when she asked if I wanted to go camping with her, she immediately took it back and said, "Why am I asking you that? You don't seem like the camping type."

Yes, that'd be correct. There is not one bone in my body that is begging to sleep in the woods for a night or two just to...what? Be one with nature?

Thanks but no thanks.

I'd much rather sleep in my own bed where my biggest fear is whether or not my pillow will stay the right temperature throughout the night.

Hiking is another outdoor activity I stay as far away from as possible. I'm the girl who buys hunting boots because they look good with a particular outfit, never would I ever use them to actually go hiking. Who does that?!

The thought of getting physically dirty is a thought I'd rather not have.

I once did a tough mudder race and refused to complete an obstacle that involved crawling through the mud because the very thought of getting mud all over me made my skin crawl. I probably should've realized there would be mud involved by reading the title that clearly stated it was a "tough mudder challenge."

I must've been too busy online shopping.

Don't even get me started on caring for animals, that's just not in the cards for me. Do I look like the kind of girl who would get up at 5 a.m. to milk the cows or get the eggs from the chicken? That lifestyle is for a select few...and I am not one of those few.

I try to avoid manual labor, I enjoy shopping a little too much, and I'm not the one you ask to go on a scenic jog through the woods with you. If you change a tire, I'll hold the tools for you, but that's about as helpful as I'll be.

To put it in perspective, I'm definitely more Gossip Girl than Friday Night Lights.

Call me crazy but there's something about the city that makes my heart race.

You never really know what you'll see or who you'll meet. You can have a new experience every day if that's what you want. The hustle and bustle never get old. The diversity and culture that can only be found in big cities just add to the fascination of it all.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of walking through the streets, shoulder to shoulder with strangers, looking up and seeing nothing but buildings.

When someone asks me where I see myself in 5-10 years, the city is always part of my plans.

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.
