You suck.

Dear Mistresses,

Why? Please explain to me because I honestly don’t understand. I try to make excuses for you; I just can’t wrap my mind around why? Why can’t you just get your own man? Why do you have to go around breaking hearts? If your feeling lonely find a man who is single. Why shove a girl through the whole process of thinking she isn’t good enough? She is.You’re just too slimy and disgusting to face the facts. If there is another girl in the picture: let him go. It really isn’t that complicated. If you don’t care that he isn't faithful to one girl, you shouldn't have a problem breaking up with him. Let him go.

Do we not have standards anymore? Do we women not respect ourselves enough to demand a man who is faithful? I just don't understand it. What woman grows up dreaming of being one of a man's many options? You could be her. The man you have remained faithful to, chose someone else over you. You could be crying on the bathroom floor. You could find her lipstick stain on his white shirt, wondering where you went wrong. Home-wrecker.

Do you think you'll think you'll get away with it? Do you honestly believe she won't find out? Is it worth the risk? You probably weren't thinking at all. You thought about how nice it felt to have a man who was interested in you. You thought about how exciting it was to meet with him in secret, like teenagers. You took advantage of love. They say love is pain, but really love is beautiful you were the one to make love painful.

Love should be flowers on a Sunday morning. Love should be valuing your partner over everything (like his wife at home). Love should be faithful actions instead of meaningless words. As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own," (like wrecking his relationship for your Friday night fling). Love is loyalty through good and bad times.

Love isn't sneaking around. Love isn't lying. Love isn't disloyal. Love doesn't give you the right to break someone into little pieces to step on and crush with your selfish ego. Love isn't perfect, but it does accept a person's imperfections and remains faithful.

Don't be a home-wrecker. Don't take advantage of love; side chicks are never first. Don't make love painful; let lovers marvel at it's beauty. The bottom line is: Be a good person. Do what is right. I know you have a brain. Use it.

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.
