Figuring Out The First Test Week Of The Semester, With Leslie Knope

"We have to remember what's important in life: friends waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third."

Build yourself up!

Giphy

Build up that self-esteem way in advance. If you know you are going to fail it, write yourself that encouragement letter. You deserve it!

Make that time for YOU!

Giphy

Honestly, more love and more action are key. Love yourself enough to take breaks, but also love yourself enough to take action!!!

We all feel this way.

Giphy

Maybe you waited till the last minute and are struggling. Keep going, take a deep breath, and realize that as soon as its over, you can go home and take a nap.

Reach out to friends for help you may need.

Giphy

Leslie slayed on asking people for help. You can do this.

Get to the test, and maybe it is 4 different chapters that you didn't look at.

Giphy

Don't forget to bring shaving cream to send that professor out the door.

But maybe you left the test, and actually feel like you kill it.

Giphy

I mean, if you feel like you did good, no one is hating.

But then you get that test back, and realize that you are down a hole unless you get some extra credit.

Giphy

Office hours, here we come.

"Sorry, I have already told you, I do not give extra credit."

Giphy

The cursed words you never want to hear.

And the class average comes back, and its 97, and you feel dumb.

Giphy

Honestly, what went wrong? Time to drop out.

The week is over, and you somehow have to figure out how to make a 96 in each class for the rest of the semester to keep your GPA.

"I'm sorry, does anyone have a pillow I can scream in?" Happy Test Week!!!

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.
