Show us your secrets, oh beautiful song.

Give me a reason to keep going on.

Your brushstroke of art has so much to tell.

You calm my fears, for you know me so well.

You can make the world stop with just a simple tune.

With every ending note, you are gone too soon.

A healing blanket, a gently touch,

a warm hug, a safety crutch.

As a mother, you cradle our cries.

Your ways of love bear no disguise.

You move mountains, you calm the storm.

A simple sound, but a world you transform.

Without you, all would be lost,

our hearts covered with a layer of frost.

No light would show, no dark or night,

You taught us to live, and live with such might.

But some cannot hear you, their ears have been closed.

So many fall silent, their words undisclosed.

How can one not feel you and your beautiful sound?

They have closed their eyes, their heart has been bound.

But the lock with break, and the walls will crack.

And those that wouldn't hear you will never go back.

For you silence guns, you raise up sails.

And you travel across worlds, leading peace's trails.

Thank you for giving us life. Thank you for giving us hope.

Thank you for helping us grieve and helping us cope.

You will not soon be forgotten, for you are you.

And there is no friendship that will hold more true.

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.

panera bread

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.
