A Letter To A Man Who Can Never Read it

The first memory I have is watching you in Tommy boy with my parents it's the thing I remember most from the short four years I got with my dad, he loved your movies. Growing up I never knew you had passed away I always thought iId grow up and make people laugh in the same way you did and I'd get to meet you one day and tell you how much you had helped me. But knowing what I know now I never will. Last week I finally decided to dedicate a night to watching "I Am Chris Farley" and it broke my heart and made me want to strive for my passion ever more. Even in your death, you inspire me daily.

When I watch you on SNL it's so apparent that that stage was your home and the place you shined the brightest. You weren't just funny you were so much more than that you were humorous you knew how to make people happy just by feeling yourself and that is the only thing i want out of my life. Everytime i make someone laugh and they ask where i got my sense of humor from and i say you they all question how considering you died two months after i was born and i tell them of how my childhood consisted of watching your movies and your skits and your dry sense of humor just rubbed off on me. I'll always credit you for helping make me the person i am because it would be unfair not to. When i was thinking about blog posts i wanted to make this one was obvious i had to in more than 140 characters on twitter express my gratitude even though you'll never see this. As i watched the documentary and saw people i knew and people i didn't talk about you and how you just had "it" this knack for making people happy and for being the best at it. I wish you didn't struggle and i wish you didn't go the way you did but just know that even know 20 years later you are so missed and appreciated and i hope you are looking down at all the people who you have impacted in this world and can be prpoud of a wonderful thing you've done.

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.
