1. Having a music taste that's the complete opposite of your friends.

Your idea of turn up music? Mo Bamba, Swag Surfin', and some other mainstream songs that are played way too much. My idea of turn up music? Yungeen Ace, JayDaYoungan, Tokyo Jetz, and other artists that most white girls have no clue about.

2. Being the only sneakerhead in your friend group.

None of my friends can relate to the happiness I feel when I cop a new pair of J's.

3. Having no clue about Greek life.

I don't care that Mark from Kappa Sim Card liked your post on Instagram.

4. Loving sports way more than the rest of your friends.

You're excited for March because of Spring Break. I'm excited for March because of March Madness.

5. Dressing up like a girly-girl once and having the entire country comment on how you look.

"You should dress up more often!" Sorry. It's a no from me dawg.

6. Liking a little more flavor in your food than your friends.

I'm not really a Chicken Salad Chick girl... More of a Wingstop girl.

7. Having a different taste in movies and TV shows than your friends.

You want to watch "The Notebook." I want to watch "Friday."

8. Sticking with the same drink every time you go to Starbucks.

Not like I have any clue what any of the other drinks are anyways!

9. Not being able to fangirl over cute guys because your preferences are different from your friends.

I'm more into Jalen Ramsey than Zac Efron, but go ahead and shoot your shot sis!

10. Making guy friends more easily than girl friends.

It's just so easy to get into a conversation about sports or shoes with guys!

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.

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.
