Is your best friend a science major? Or maybe your boyfriend? Sibling perhaps? Well, look no further. Here are some of the gifts that all of us science majors want (need?) more than anything.

1. A new model kit.

The ones the school provides at the bookstore just don't cut it. They are so hard to snap together to form even a single molecule. A new one would be amazing.

2. Money for all of our textbooks.

Our textbooks can be oh so expensive, and I cry a little every single time I swipe my debit card at the bookstore for all my books. I envy all of my English major friends when they tell me they got all of their English novels at a secondhand store for a mere five dollars. What a life. Any money toward textbooks helps!

3. A science pun sticker/sweater/tee shirt. Basically, anything with a science pun on it.

Let's face it, most of us science majors are also science nerds (in the best way possible). We live for science puns. We make horrible science puns, but only periodically (pun intended). Trust and believe that we will show off any and all science pun gifts we receive!

4. A whole day of sleep.

Maybe just get us a day of pure sleep somehow? Most of us are severely sleep-deprived, and all we need at the moment is just a full day of sleep. Seriously. Just us, a bed, pillows, and a nice warm blanket. If you could make that possible we would be forever in your debt.

5. An "A" on our next science exam.

I don't know how you're going to pull this one off. Maybe bribe the teacher? I hear they like candy and the like. Your family member, friend, significant other, etc. will greatly appreciate this one.

6. A whole bunch of new pens.

All of our lab reports (and I mean every. single. one) must be done in pen. And you know that we lose all of our pens exponentially. So please, for the love of God, get us new pens. Maybe even add some colorful ones to the mix as well so that we can color code our hectic planners.

7. A new brain.

Our current brains are fried with chemistry, biology, physiology, anatomy, you name it. A new brain would be a dream come true. Maybe even one that could hold more information at once? That would be the jackpot.

8. New lab goggles.

This isn't quite a necessity, but the ones we have currently are completely makeup-stained. Wearing makeup going into the lab? Think again. You will leave the lab with all of the makeup you had on your face relocated onto your goggles. It's unfortunate, both for us and our goggles.

9. Kimwipes to clean off our microscopes.

We do not do dirt on our microscope lenses. Why would you ever let a speck of dirt get in the way of science?! It's too cool to be held back by dirt specks! So please please please get us Kimwipes for the holidays.

We may be nerds, but we sure do embrace the nerd life! There is nothing we love more than our lab goggles, microscopes and flasks! Help a science major out this year by getting them something they will love!

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.
