Starting My New Years Resolution Early!

You Do Not Need The New Year To Start A Resolution!

new year

Every new year comes around and people start making lists of everything they want to change, do new and start for the new year. I can not lie I am the same way. I always say I want to go into the New Year and start exercising everyday, eating healthy, and getting the best grades possible. Well yes I do start those new goals but I never follow through. Just like most people I assume. So this year I decided to change that. When I came home from winter break I gave myself a week to get use to being home and then I said I was going to start my New Years Resolution Early! I am tired of using the new year as an excuse to push myself to start off strong for a week and then like most people crash after maybe the first month. So lets change that! You do not need the new year to start a resolution! Start now! I started going to the gym everyday, thinking about what I put into my mouth and I have been thinking about how I can make my next semester in college the best yet! I am going to go back to school a better me! A healthier me, and thats my goal! Do not let the fear of the unknown or the fear of pain to stop you. Like they say, "Pain is Game" and if you want to see the end results than you have put in the effort. I can not wait for summer to come around and to look back and realize that all of my hard work has paid off.

Do not get me wrong, I am excited to start this new year off right! 2016 has not been the best year for me, and I am excited to see what the new year brings me! 2017 is going to be a good one I have a feelings! The main point I am trying to make here is do not wait until the new year to start a new resolution! Jump on in! Everyone needs a fresh start and creating a resolution may be the best thing you have every done! I know for me, I feel better eating healthier, and exercising and it has only been about 2 weeks! Even with the holidays and eating lots of food as long as I keep on doing the goals I have set for me, I am not going to fail! I received a fortune in my fortune cookie the other week that really has really motivated me, "Do not fear failure". Failure is not an option, so don't wait to start a new goal, just go out and do it!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

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.
