Why I am So Over Hearing About the Kardashian Drama

Okay, so no hate towards the Kardashians, but for those of you that have not heard, recently Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson has been a trending topic for the media in the past week or so. Apparently, Tristian Thompson cheated on Khloe who is the mother of his child with Kylie (younger sister's) best friend, aka Jordyn Woods. I know that was a lot to follow along with. But, my question for it all is why?

I know… you may be reading this article and ask well why do you care? You don't have to read it, and you are right I don't. My problem with this being shared numerous times over the internet is that there are more important things the media could be sharing trending topics.

I read an article on CNN the other day and it was titled "Teen saves two years to buy classmate electric wheelchair." This article was about a young boy who was only working part-time at a mechanic shop after school, who then saved up enough money to buy his classmate an electric wheelchair. Why is this not a trending topic?

You have the Kardashians being a trending topic for having money and having their rich husbands cheat on them, and creating more drama for the world and media to discuss, but what about the teen who used his last savings to save up enough money to help his classmate?

Why are we so quick to be drawn to the drama of social lights that do not care about our well beings? As soon as it was publicized about the affair going on between Thompson and Woods, it became a nonstop topic, that is still surfacing today. But, as a society, we need to do a better job of looking at other forms of heroism and not be so focused into the celebrity drama that is created just for show.

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.
