A Letter to Billy Joel

Dear Billy Joel,

For the longest time, I have been such a huge fan. Whenever you sing us a song because you're the piano man, you bring such joy to the world. Your music speaks to people on all different levels. You make those who are happy even happier, and you know how to get in touch with those who are sad. You are even able to make that girl with the nice white dress and a party on her confirmation feel like she's pretty damn awesome.

Growing up in New York, I've always felt a deep connection with being in a New York state of mind. I've never really desired to live anywhere else because of how much I absolutely love New York. Although, when The New York Times and The Daily News mentioned about your concert this year in Miami 2017, I felt like that was someplace I'd rather be.

Every morning, when I walk around school in my engineer boots, leather jacket, and tight blue jeans, I think about what my life would be like after college. Sometimes, it seems such a waste of time. But then again, if I want to be a big shot in this world, I need to suck it up and work as hard as I can. I pray to God that I will never have a marriage like Brenda and Eddie and that my husband will never let me go, tell me everything he feels, and give me every reason to accept that he's for real.

Billy Joel, if you ever walked into my house during a family party, it would be like walking into scenes from an Italian restaurant. Who's fighting with who, who lost weight, whose got a good job and a good office, and who is too occupied with picking a bottle of white and a bottle of red.

So Billy Joel, keep making my sweet romantic teenage nights even more worth while with your music. Keep on being the entertainer, because you have definitely won our hearts.

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.
