I always try my best not to procrastinate, but sometimes it just happens.This past week was my last week at SNHU. I only have one more assignment, and I am completed.Usually, that would be enough to motivate me to knock it out, but I am finding it difficult to manage my time this week. Typically, I try to finish my assignments early, so I have more free time to either take a break or to go ahead and prepare for the next class.

After this assignment, I am done.No more finals to prepare for, no more last-minute discussion boards to post to, and no more replies to complete before Sunday. I mean, if I go for my master's I will have more of that, but I am planning on taking a break from school for a bit.
I want to focus on my family.

In my journey with SNHU, I have accomplished so much. I am now a mother, an EIC with the Odyssey, and I am in the process of writing three novels. I am happy with where I am, no matter how difficult the journey has been. The journey has made me who I am today.

So, I am going to finish this last assignment, and nervously wait for my final grade to post. I am excited to see where this new chapter in my life takes me. I know the possibilities are endless, and there are going to be times I fail, but I know that no matter what, my husband and son has my back.

With this new chapter in my life, I am going to strive to be a better wife and mother. My husband and son deserve that. I feel sometimes I have gotten wrapped up in doing homework and meeting deadlines, and I forget who I need to focus on. I am looking forward to the quality time I will be having with my family.

I want to thank Johnny, my husband, for always being there to love and support me through everything. You are the best husband in the world. I am so thankful to have you in my life. You make me so happy. I love you so much.

Johnathon, I am proud to be your mother. You make me happy no matter what is going on. Keep on being mommy and daddy's happy boy. You have so much to offer the world, and I cannot wait to see all you accomplish in life. You can do anything you put your mind to.

Also, I will be working harder as an editor.
I strive to do my best, and with any job, it is important to do the best you possibly can. I love being an editor. It is hard work, but it is so rewarding. I am thankful to have a job I enjoy.

Okay, no more procrastinating. Let me get this reflection done, so all I have to do is look forward to whatever life throws my way. I am ready.

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.
