New Year, New Me

Every new year is an opportunity to start fresh.

New Year, New Me

With the new year already here, people everywhere are setting goals for what they'd like to accomplish in 2017. A few weeks ago, I wrote up a list of resolutions I would like to stick to for the new year. So many people write their resolutions down but very few people actually follow through with them (I admit I am often one of these people). But this year I figured- what better way to stick to my new year's resolutions than to post them online for everyone to see! So without further ado, here they are.


Dear Future (2017) Self,

A new year means 365 days to do whatever it is you wish. 365 days to be a better you. In these next 365 days and beyond, try to do the following...

1. Stay consistent with going to the gym and eating clean. Plan your day accordingly so that you do not fall behind.

2. Spend more time doing things you enjoy. Read books, color, drink tea. Schedule time for rest and relaxation.

3. Learn a new language.

4. Continue to do well in school. Study hard & be ahead of the game. Maybe even take a few classes over the summer.

5. Start everyday with the mindset that you will get things done. It will boost your productivity.

6. Strive to be better, smarter, kinder, and more productive each day. Be better than your former self.

All of these things will make you feel great and be even greater. Treat yourself to the best and give yourself credit for all that you do.

Love,

Your 2016 Self

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.
