Nooga, Chatt-town, Chatt, Chattanooga, whatever you call it, it's pretty swell.

As a born and raised Chattanoogan, I obviously love my hometown. Chattanooga, located in the south eastern part of Tennessee, not only has beautiful scenery but also wonderful culture. Chattanooga has a little bit of everything.

1. Chattanooga has some of the best hiking trails and scenery.

It's just so pretty! How could you NOT love it?

2. Downtown Chatt is gorgeous at night.

The water. The lights. So pretty. Perfect 1st date location.

3. The Tennessee Aquarium

That pointy-roofed building is one of the coolest places I've ever been in Chattanooga. It's a great place for people of all ages. I highly recommend the Butterfly Garden. Oh, and the penguins. And sea otters.

4. The Chattanooga Choo Choo

You know that song "The Chattanooga Choo Choo"? Yeah. That's about us. Be jealous.

5. Historic Chattanooga

Chattanooga has been around for what seems like forever. It is full of history because pretty much everything is considered "historic." There are multiple battlefields and war memorials spread out through Chattanooga.

6. The Tivoli

The Tivoli is one of the best places in downtown Chattanooga. There are so many concerts, musicals, and plays that come to the Tivoli. It's like being in New York, but not...plus it's gorgeous on the inside.

7. The Countryside

Downtown Chatt is beautiful, but the countryside is just as beautiful. It's the best of both worlds.

8. Coolidge Park

Coolidge Park is located on the Tennessee Riverfront and is a beautiful hang out location. There is a pavilion, a carousel, a fountain, and plenty of restaurants and ice cream shops to visit nearby.

9. The UFO House

I don't know who built it, who lives in it, or why it's a thing, but it's a UFO house and I think it's pretty cool.

10. The Hunter Art Museum


This place is amazing. First of all, there is a statue of a horse made out of driftwood. Secondly, this place has a glass bridge. You can see the traffic beneath you as you cross it. It's cool!!

Overall, Chattanooga is amazing, beautiful, and I love it. It's the perfect combination of country and city. It's not too big and not too small. I'd have to say it's just perfect the way it is.

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.

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.
