Coming Back To College After Winter Break

Realizing that relaxation is over...

Coming Back To College After Winter Break
Virtual Tour

Well it's official. We have to go to back to school at some point and now it is the time, unfortunately. After being home for a month, I spent time time with my family, working more hours than I did during fall semester and slept a lot more than I usually did. Being home is a blessing and curse. Here is a list of going back to school.

1. You head back to campus realizing how fast break was.

You had time to visit friends, sleep in and Netflix all day. Now you have to go back to school.

2. Then you have to unpack.

I feel like this is the hardest part. You just got back and you want to see everyone but you have to unpack your clothes and things for the new semester.

3. The feeling of waking up early and not sleeping in until noon.

I mean I don't have this problem because I didn't wake up until 10am for fall semester; same with spring semester, I don't have to wake up until 10am again. I am sorry for those of you who have 8am classes. Good luck with that y'all.

4. You get up at the last second and go to class.

I'm thinking about just going in my pj's next semester but I'm probably not...

5. Then on the first day of class, professors are assigning homework already.

Why? I mean why do you want to torture us? It is only the first day back, it is syllabus day. Why are we even assigned something? Please don't let this happen.

6. After a week back, you realized you have to do your own laundry.

I'm sorry mom. I wish you were here and can just do it for me. Help me separate my clothes into whites, color and dark. I guess I have to be an adult and do it myself.

7. After the first night out with your friends, you realized why you missed them.

We still text each other and snapchat each other everyday but it is not the same as being there together. I miss our adventures and going out.

8. Eating at the dining hall and remembering it is gross AF.

Incoming freshman and anyone new: please be aware of Fresh Foods. It is not fresh. Just go to Champ's or JP. Please, I am asking you.

9. Getting to see your friends, roommmate and hallmates after a month.

For me, I don't get to see my roommate because I get a new one. I'm bitter and excited for it. Bitter because I miss my old roommate but excited for my new one!

10. Realizing you missed being busy and having a schedule.

I was home for a month doing nothing but work, sleep and shopped with my mom. I was with my sister most of the time and it was great. But I missed having a schedule and doing things with my friends and having the freedom to do whatever I wanted.

11. Then realizing you have a new schedule and memorizing that.

I have to erase my old schedule and now memorized this new class schedule. I have to find new routes and know when to leave and where I have to go... ugh.

But overall, I am happy to be back on campus to see my friends, new roommate, my big, my sorority sisters, my RA, and just campus itself.

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.

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.
