Because honesty is the best policy.

My Honest Tinder Profile

Someone asked me recently, "Evan, if your Tinder profile were entirely honest, what would you say?" And that got me thinking: what would my honest Tinder profile be? What is it that I have about myself that makes me "special" or "desirable", if you choose to use that vernacular? I've been having a rough time figuring that out recently. So, here goes nothing.

I'm a busy individual. Most of my life consists of running around and doing things, and I love that. Try and keep up. I say that I love to go on adventures, and I mean that to a degree, but I think that a quality adventure is one where you learn about yourself in the process. I have adventures every day. It can be as mundane, for me, as trying something different at a coffee shop, to try and brighten my food horizons. It could be finally reading that giant autobiography of Alexander Hamilton cause I've got a penchant for American history. It could be falling too hard in love with someone and discovering the adventure of trying to navigate that. Try and keep up.

I'm an artist, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Yes, I am, in fact, the person that will break out in song in the middle of a public place. Or on a bus. Or in the middle of a library. No shame in my game. Let's just cut the stereotype that all I listen to is show tunes because I work in the theatre: that's not true in the slightest. My music tastes, like most things in this world, are varied. Some days, all I want to listen to (on repeat, mind you) is We Didn't Stop the Fire. On days when I'm not in the best mood, I'll put on some Disturbed. Yeah, I'll even put on some rap, if I feel so inclined. I love different varieties of art, and I want someone who will appreciate art with me. I want someone who finds me losing my ever loving shit in the middle of Target when my favorite song comes on endearing, not annoying. So, if this all sounds like a burden to you, firmly swipe left.

I love food. Food and I have a good thing going on. Don't kid yourself: I'm never gonna look like Channing Tatum. I will not have abs for days. At all. Ever. On a really good day, I'll look a lot like Andy Dwyer from "Parks and Rec" and that's absolutely fine with me. I'll eat anything with you. I don't believe that Lima beans are an actual food. Or green peas. Those two things are inferior foods. They deserve a special place in whatever you consider to be "Hell", and firmly stay there. Let's get food sometime.

I don't know what I'm looking for right now. I don't know if I want a relationship. I dunno if I want to meet the one person I'm "meant to spend the rest of my life with", if that even exists. I just want you to be kind. I just want you to like my family. I just want you to be able to hang out with me on my couch with some dogs and it not phase you. I want someone who will also yell at me when I get too into a cooking show cause, most of the times, those ingredients don't go in a cupcake and you cannot convince me otherwise. I want someone who will take BuzzFeed quizzes with me at 3am while I vehemently deny that I am in no way, shape, or form Monica Geller from Friends...we all know I'm a mix of Chandler and Phoebe. Just like me for me, and nothing else. That's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know.

Think you can do that for me? Well then, you know what to do...

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.
