Open Letter to My Bestfriend
Patricia LaRusso

To My Best Friend,

I don't know if you already know this, but you are one of my favorite people in the entire world. I am so glad that we met when we did and that we became so close. You know everything about me and have been there for me through thick and thin. Although we are not related by blood, I consider you to be my sister. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for you so I guess this is my way of saying thank you for being the best friend I could ever ask for and for helping me to become the best version of me that I can be. I love you.

As we both know, I'm leaving for college in less than a couple of weeks which means that we will be an hour and forty-five minutes away from each other. Although we've been apart for periods of time before, I'm afraid that this might be different. I'm not bringing a car to college so my ability to come home and visit for a weekend will be limited. I know that you would come visit me if you had the chance to but I also know that you have your own college course work and that you will more than likely be working on the weekends. I know that we have a strong friendship and that we won't lose contact with each other, but I'm still a little nervous about the time apart.

We have so many great memories together. Driving around town talking about anything and everything that comes to our minds has got to be my favorite thing to do with you. You got me addicted to coffee, and I'm not sure if I want to thank you or punch you for that... (just kidding I love you). You have helped me come to the conclusion that Taco Bell and Sonic are both equally amazing. And for some reason we always make a designated stop at a grocery store, even though there's really nothing for us to do there. Everything's an adventure with you. I don't even think there's a time that we've been together that wasn't fun.

You taught me to be strong, independent and confident. Without you, I don't know where I'd be today. I mean I definitely wouldn't be sitting next to you in your car writing this because I procrastinated about writing this.

Thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for being my unbiological sister. Thank you for letting me vent about all of my problems (big ones and stupid ones). Thank you for making me feel important when you vent to me about your own life. And most of all thank you for being you.

I honestly love you more than I love myself. Please stay in contact with me while we are in college. I can't wait to vent to you about all the good and bad that happens in this first semester.

Love,

Best Friend

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.
