Has someone ever said to you, "You're acting like you're mad at the world" or "You look like you're mad at the world"?

When that happens, you might think to yourself: Maybe I am mad at the world.

If you have thought that to yourself (I am mad at the world and everyone in it), I want you to think about what has happened that caused you to feel that way. I want you to take into account what actually caused you to feel this way.

Ask yourself these questions: Am I just not in the mood to be around people? Am I just angry at something that happened in the day?

These are two questions that will help you understand what is making you mad at the world. Answering these questions fully and honestly will allow you to take another moment to really understand yourself.

So if you answered yes to the first question, then why are you not in the mood? Are you depressed? Are you just tired? What is causing you to not be in the mood to be around others? When you have identified that and understood that, then see what you can do to fix it. Maybe you have to fix yourself.

If you answered yes to the second question, then the main thing to do is to understand what you can learn from it. Take the time to look at everything as a positive, or in other terms, a blessing in disguise.


By the end of this, I want you to be able to have identified the true problem, able to understand why it is the problem, know how to fix it, and continue to fix it when it occurs again.

This will help you to continue the journey of understanding yourself and understanding how to express what you truly feel.

This is important because we have be able to fully communicate how we feel in the best way possible.

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.

Kourtney Kardashian

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.
