The Truth About Having A Guardian Angel

A letter to the person I carry with me everyday.

Dear Angel,

Quite some time has passed since you left us, it's honestly hard to believe that you are gone. The one thing that I regret is not telling you how much I appreciated you. I never got the chance to say thank you for everything you did for me.

I was so lucky to have such an admirable person in my life for the amount of time that I did. During that time you taught me things that you probably didn't even know you were teaching me. You taught me how to be strong during the difficult times. you taught me how to be brave when all I was scared. You taught me how to love harder than I ever thought was possible.

Although you're not here to see all that I have done, I know that you are proud of me. You always encouraged me to do what I love, that's why everything that I am doing, I am doing for you. You were one of my biggest supporters. You were one of my best friends. You were the anchor that kept this family grounded.

Although some things are different now, the one thing that remains the same is your presence. Although you can not physically be here with us, I know you are spiritually here. I know you are watching over us as we all make important steps in our lives. I know you are rooting for us when we decide to take the road less traveled upon.

I'll admit, some days are harder than others and I'm still learning how to cope with you being gone. I know that you are always by my side helping me get through those tough moments, and I thank you for that. Losing you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through but it made me a stronger person.

Thank you for leaving a lifelong impact on me. Thank you for being the person you were. Thank you for always loving me no matter what. I am so lucky to have such an amazing person as my guardian angel.

I love you, I miss you, and I can't wait to see you again one day.

Love always,

Your biggest fan

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

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.
