Endings and Beginnings.

It is always painful when something ends. Never easy and always hurts. It’s the end of a chapter in this story that we call life. It’s painful because we will never be able to go back to the way things were. The moments of pure happiness, the looks that you won’t be able to see again and all of the memories that are no longer being made but so many people think that once this happens you must write this person off. Say goodbye and withdrawal into themselves and not be a part of that person’s life anymore. That’s not the way it has to be at all. Ending a friendship or a relationship is painful enough with everything that has to change but when it’s a full 180 change it hurts even more. Remember that when things end that people are hurting. There is no need to pick sides, end friendships or cut ties. There is enough pain going around so remember to love on the people who are struggling while going through it and to remind them that they aren’t alone and that soon, they will have a new beginning.

The beginning of a chapter is scary in and of its own right. You don’t know what is going to happen and you hope and pray that it isn’t the same as every other time you let yourself feel or even hope. Three weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to rush and actually pledge a social club here at OBU. I was incredibly scared and honestly didn’t know if I was going to fit in but I ended up finding some of the sweetest most caring girls id ever met. I feel at home already with my sisters of EEE. I cannot wait to make more memories and spend more time with these incredible ladies. Both ending things and beginnings things are difficult but one would never know what might happen if you don’t jump and try something new.

Start the new chapter

Read a new book

Try something new and fail

Never don’t do something based on fear

Trust in the lord and remember that all things are in his plan and in his hands.

God bless.

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.
