Something Is Missing

They say that there are a lot of fish in the sea, but what if you're lost in the midst of them?

Since I have moved to Orlando I have been having the time of my life, but the one thing that is missing is someone special to share it with. I know it sounds cheesy, but I am hoping to find a girl on my Disney College Program that wants to visit the parks with my childish self and nerd out with me over comic book TV shows like "The Flash" and "Supergirl." It's been a while since I dated and that was for my own personal reasons.

I think that now is the right time to put myself back out there and give it a shot once again. No guy or girl likes the feeling of rejection and that is why, for the most part, people stay single. It's because they are afraid of taking a chance or a leap for that person they are interested in. They live in constant fear of rejection and no one should live that way. What I have learned throughout my previous relationships is that your happiness is the key to a successful relationship.

During my last relationship, the further and further and further it went on, the more I realized that I was unhappy. I was blinded by the fact that I didn't recognize that I was unhappy and I suppressed it for so long. My suppressed unhappiness finally got the better of me and I finally expressed my true feelings. If you are ever in a relationship and it is making you unhappy, please step back and reevaluate the relationship.

Your happiness and their happiness is key for a healthy relationship. You both want to be happy and it's hard to please two parties, but it can be managed. Over the last few years since my last relationship, I thought about working on my self-esteem and preparing myself for the next girl to walk into my life. Coming back from an unhealthy and unhappy relationship is very difficult and can really take a toll on you. The more you stick with it and try to bounce back, I noticed I was much happier and ready to move forward.

I feel like Dr. Phil giving relationship advice, but the real kicker is my relationships haven't been successful. I have taken my failures and used them as learning lessons so I don't make the same mistake again in the future. It's great to be mindful of things that ended a relationship so that you don't end a relationship that could possibly end up with a bright future ahead of it. People set too high of standards for relationships and also for those that they find "attractive" just on the basis of looks and physicality. "Looks" don't last forever, but a relationship does. Look for someone that you make a connection with and want to spend every waking moment with having fun and creating memories.

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.
