Season 2 Of 'Luke Cage' Focused A Lot More On Self-Awareness, And I'm All For It

This season is interesting because the characters start to realize how much their present life and the events that continue to happen are forcing them to accept the truth.

If you have not watched "Luke Cage," then be prepared to get a brief summary of the season.

After binge-watching "Luke Cage" for a day, I gotta say that this season was better than the last one. I think this season had more powerful lessons in it than the first season.

In this season, every main character seems to be struggling with the same life lesson. Each character is having trouble accepting who they truly are. While they have trouble with that lesson, they also have trouble with another lesson that often comes with it, which is accepting your truths of your past.

This season is interesting because the characters start to realize how much their present life and the events that continue to happen are forcing them to accept the truth and accept what they do not what to. They start to realize this because they see that their past is in some way, shape, or form causing more harm to their life every time they are trying to find ways to make their life better.

For me, the characters I enjoyed the most that were coming to understand this life lesson was Luke Cage and Mariah. I think with Mariah, she had been trying so hard her entire life to not become her family's history that she realized that she was starting to become the people she tried so hard not to be like. Luke Cage was trying so hard to not deal with his past and the things that hurt him that he became his hurt and in turn, he ended up hurting the person he cared for the most.

I think this season focused a lot more on self-awareness and self-understanding because, in my opinion, this season focused a lot on the characters thinking about their own individual lives and trying not to put caring for their own lives over caring for the lives of others and vice versa.

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.

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.
