Now that many college students are starting to come back home for the summer, it's time to start merging into the lives we leave back home. I don't know about you, but facing three months of living at home after experiencing a year of independence is rather tough.

I feel restless and like there's nothing to do.

Here is a list of ways to overcome perpetual boredom that ensues when we're all back home again:

1. Create rockin' Spotify playlists for all occasions.

2. Plan a trip with your friends to the nearest city.

There could be pop-up shops, flea markets... see what's around!!

3. Re-arrange your room— it's fun to change things up!

Depending on your room and how much stuff you brought back from school, this could take you a while!

4. Paint, sketch, doodle— the works

Hitting up an arts store is actually so much fun. See what trinkets you find, buy paint, and have at it on a canvas!

5. Learn a new language!

Youtube does wonders...and so does Duolingo, a free language app!

6. Write letters to your future self.

Write letters to yourself for the day you graduate, for the day you get a job, for the day you get married, for the day you have kids, for the day you turn 21, etc... it's like a time capsule from you to you!

7. Raid your library.

There are so many good books out there...get to reading some!

8. Learn some fun cooking recipes!

Nothing beats enjoying an easy to cook, homemade meal.

9. Go on night drives with friends.

Blast music, talk, and just drive wherever. The night is yours!

10. Start scrap-booking!

There are so many photos on your phone. Go print them, buy fun paper, drink some wine, and have yourself a night of memories!

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.

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.
