A Message To Every College Student
missmillmag

As a college student, there are many things I didn’t know would make such a difference. On bad days or even just stressful days, these things have helped me and my friends so much.

I hope they help you with whatever you are going through as well.

You are not perfect. So what, you forgot to work out today? There is always tomorrow. You did your best on that exam, and you will work even harder to do better on the next one. You are just one single person, you are bound to stumble and fall. Just get up, dust yourself off. Keep on going.

You are trying. You are working really hard to do everything, juggle everything, and be everything. You are working through your own stuff and you are living your life the best that you see fit. You are in charge of you, and you can choose your own path now.

You don’t like how things are? Change it. Do everything in your power to stand up, to change something, to make a difference. You are important. “Be the change you wish you see in the world.” -- Ghandi

Put yourself first. Take a day off, you studied every day after class for a week straight. Watch a movie, go out to dinner. Treat yourself for working hard. You have a lot going on and you are finding your way, everyone needs to take a break once in a while.

So many people care about you. You might be sitting here staring at the laundry and homework piling up and thinking it is all useless, but it's not. You are worth the world to someone, and reader, you are worth the world to me. You have so much to do, and so many people will be there to support you and help you. Just reach out and ask someone.

Tomorrow will be better. Today might have sucked. You might’ve missed a quiz, or failed a test. That’s okay. Everyone has bad days. Make tomorrow better. Take time for yourself, listen to your favorite song. Go for a drive, or play a game. If tomorrow isn’t any better, there are an infinite amount of tomorrows after. Just breathe and let it all pass.

Believe in yourself. You may think that this is impossible, you couldn’t ever do this. You are lousy, or untalented. But, reader, you are not. You have so much in that brain of yours. You have all of these ideas and opinions and this wonderful life that is so important. Believe in yourself even if no one else does, because you are remarkable. Prove them wrong.

You got this. You just need to take it one step at a time. You will see the other side, and you will look back and remember all you’ve gone through and how you’ve finally made it. Go rock this world.

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
