My Identities

The things I consider my own identity.

My Identities
Google

What I consider myself as is what makes me. This is based on how I was raised, my interests, and how I was influenced.

Religious views: Christian- Assemblies of God

I was raised in an Assemblies of God church and still attend one. I got saved at around age 11 and got baptized at age 23 and will almost be the one year anniversary of my baptism. This means I believe, follow, and trust God at all times (faith). By joining Campus Bible Fellowship during my last three semesters of college, I have leaned more to the baptist denomination of Christianity.

Political views: Moderate- Independent

Although I am registered as a Republican, I consider myself an Independent due to agreeing with some Democrat views and agreeing with some Republican views. I pretty much select a candidate based on whether I agree with his or her views on issues along with plans and policies. Since the 2016 election I was leaning towards the Independent view of politics and there right now. Also I tend to flip flop on some issues and don't really have a preference on which party to join since I believe in both social/community responsibility and individual rights/justice.

Cat lover

I've been a fan of cats since I was 12. I like cats better than dogs because they're easy to take care of and are not as much of a responsibility as dogs. They are also cute especially when they purr and I consider them to be the most loving animals out there.

History guy

I've always loved history because I find it so interesting on how humanity shapes our society throughout the future years. I am a Binghamton University graduate with a BA in history (graduated December 2016). My common interests in history are 20th Century American History and 20th Century European History.

Music Lover

I've been a fan of music since I was a teenager. It helps me relax and keep me going throughout the day. My favorite genres are pop, alternative rock, hip-hop (old school, underground, and conscious), R&B, and country but like pretty much everything except modern day heavy metal.

Burger Guy

Burgers are my favorite food. Every time I go to a restaurant, I often order a burger with fries on the side. I like burgers because of the taste and you can put whatever you want on it and I usually put ketchup, mustard, and sometimes onion and pickles.

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.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

singing
Cambio

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.
