A Letter To My Big Brother On His Wedding Day
Kelly Coultas

Dear Big Bro,

I cannot believe that the big day is here. From celebrating your high school graduation and crying the entire night before you left for college, to you getting into medical school and proposing to the girl of your dreams, it has been an honor watching you grow into the man you are today. Here are some of the reasons why I know you will be an amazing husband.

You are driven.

Growing up 7 years apart for sure had its perks. I always had you to look up to- whether it was school or a job, you had gone through it all before and had the knowledge a little sister needed. You set the example of what hard work looks like when you got your first job at 13, worked your way through your undergrad and masters degree, and now you're killing it in medical school.

I am constantly amazed how you found your passion and didn't let anything stand in your way of achieving it. Your work ethic is admirable and I strive to be like you as I make my way through college and figure out what job/career I want to pursue.

I know this will carry into your marriage as you will never give up when times get hard, and you and your wife will lead and push one another to accomplish more together than you could have separately.

You are kind.

I know this is true from hundreds of nights I snuck into your room scared and unable to sleep. You always let me stay and even made me a bed out of blankets to sleep on. You care about others in ways most people don't. Going into the medical field was a perfect decision for you and I know all your patients will be blessed to have you as their doctor.

I know you will take this trait into your marriage, always put your marriage first and don't let anything change your heart big brother- because you have a good one.

You are goofy.

I'll never forget in the 6th grade you told everyone if school didn't work out you were going to be a "fat stand-up comedian". You have kept me giggling since I can remember. I'm sad that the fat comedian dream didn't work out... but I guess a doctor is kind of cool too. Remember that there will be good and very bad days in your chosen profession, so always remember to bring your light-hearted attitude into your marriage. After all, laughter is the best medicine!

Also, have nerf gun fights frequently. Stay goofy. Always keep your wife laughing...happy wife equals happy life!

You picked the perfect wife.

It's crazy to think you and your wife have been friends since the 3rd grade. The first memory I have of her was when I was 3 and she was the sweetest to me out of all of your friends, so much that I colored a Cinderella picture just for her.

She is beautiful, big brother.

She is the most driven, intelligent, caring, kind-hearted woman I have met and you should be honored that you are the lucky man who gets to marry her.

I want to thank you big brother for not only being my role model, and for pushing me to be my best self while loving me unconditionally...but for giving me the most amazing sister I never had. I love you and congratulations!

Love, Your Little Sis.

PS- Can't wait to be the cool aunt...

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.
