11 Movies You Should Watch Over Winter Break
wordpress

Do you want to watch a movie, but you're tired of the typical boy meets girl love story? Here are a few of my favorite 'girls loving girls' movies:

1. Imagine Me and You (2005)


Rachel gets married to Heck, then falls for the florist. Imagine meeting the love of your life at your wedding. What would you do?


2. But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)


Megan goes through life not really understanding the hype of having a boyfriend. She comes home one day, and to her surprise her family and friends have prepared an intervention. They tell her they are worried that she might be a lesbian! She is then sent to a gay conversion camp where she learns how to be a real woman.


3. The Incredibly True Story of Two Girls in Love (1995)

The beautiful love story of Randy and Evie. Randy is a tomboyish out lesbian and Evie is one of the popular girls at school. They could never work....or could they?


4. A Marine Story (2010)


Marine officer Alexandra is kicked out of service because it comes out that she is a lesbian. She moves back to her home town and agrees to teach a young, troubled girl about the value of hard work. Watch this movie if you are craving a lesbian movie not centered around a love story.


5. Jenny's Wedding (2015)

This movie focuses on how Jenny's family react to her choice of life partner. It's nice to see a movie from the other side of the coming out process.


6. If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000)


If These Walls Could Talk 2 tells the stories of three lesbian couples who all live in the same house at different time periods. In 1961 we see an older lady lose her life partner as well as her home because "she isn't family." In 1972 a whole group of lesbians struggle with being accepted into the feminist movement. And, in 2000, two women try to have a baby. (Ellen DeGeneres is in this movie!!)

7. D.E.B.S. (2004)


Basically a parody of Charlie's Angels type movies. See what happens when the criminal falls in love with the woman who is supposed to arrest her.


8. I Can't Think Straight (2008)


Two women from different backgrounds stumble through their feelings for each other.


9. Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)


The movie is not technically gay, but it was based on a book that was, and the subtext is so plain to see it might as well be text.


10. Girltrash: All Night Long! (2014)

What was that? You want a lesbian musical? Well here you go!

11. Boy Meets Girl (2014)


Meet Ricky, a young trans-woman who wants to go to design school in New York. Who, deciding she is tired of men, has a love affair with a new friend.


So get the popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie!

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.

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.
