An Open Letter To My Sister
Days of the Year

To my sister,

It is weird to say that I have a sister, since I grew up without one. We officially met in December 2015, and it was the scariest moment of my life. We then spent the weekend together in February. That weekend was one of the best times in my life. We spent almost all our time together that weekend. We got to learn more about each other having a good time.

We grew up separate and did not really know about each other. We never got to all that sisterly stuff that happens when you grow up together. I lived in several different states while you lived in one. I never had to share my toys, but I kind of wish that had happened. I never had to share my clothes and never had to share a room.


I have always wanted a sister, but instead I got two brothers. Once we met, we started growing a bond that can't be broken. We are sisters and I love you. There are several things I want to tell you, and it's better late than never.

One thing that I want to tell you is that I would do anything for you. I know it's hard to think about, since I am far away, but if something happened, I would be right there for you. I am always up to talking and hearing about anything going on in your life.

I want you to know that you are protected. If someone ever does anything wrong by you, I'd be right there to beat them up and make sure you are alright. I am just one phone call away.

We have not known each other long, but you are already becoming one of my best friends. Every time we talk or are together we have a good time. We share laughs and tears together. You can tell me anything and I will not judge you. I will keep your secrets and I know you will do the same for me.

The last thing I want you to know is that I love you! I do not say it very much, but I do love you.

Love,

Your Sister

"Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.” ― Barbara Alpert

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.
