Life After Football

Life After Football

Now that the Super Bowl is over and the best 22 weeks of life --including playoffs -- are over, what are we all supposed to do? What else am I supposed to look forward to on Sundays? Homework? No way that is possible. The post-football season blues is a sad time for all and something we all must get through together. These are my suggestions for getting through this tough time.    

Purdue basketball. Start watching and going to the Purdue basketball games. They are always exciting and something you can do with your friends. We all have school spirit, right? Another plus is that they are usually more frequent than once a week, and there are no bye weeks.  

NHL. The National Hockey League games are great for hanging out with guy friends and drinking beer. The intensity is close to that of football. But the best part is that there is still half the season left. The playoffs are not until the end of May, beginning of June.    

NBA. The National Basketball Association doesn’t get much credit, but it is fun to watch. The All-Star Game is on Feb. 15 at Madison Square Garden. The regular season doesn’t end until April 15, so you have a long time to still watch and get into it. The playoffs start April 18.     

Now that our favorite sport season is over, it is time to throw yourself completely into another sport to forget the fact that you won’t see a Packers game for another seven months. I told you about my favorite three choices, but now it’s up to you to figure out which ones you like and want to obsess over.

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.
