7 Ways Not To Study

These are all things I do, and my life is kind of going downhill.

7 Ways Not To Study

1. All-nighters

A sleep schedule is apparently super important. Why do I know this? Well, for one, science, but for two, I randomly fall asleep because I only get maybe 5 hours of sleep a night.

2. In your bed

Maybe this is obvious. But you don't need to get too comfy or else you'll not do your work and just end up falling asleep and hating yourself for it and staying up again super late and repeating the cycle all over again.

3. With the friends you know are going to distract you

I love my friends, and we get along because they're just great. Sometimes, though, I have to kick them to the curb for studying because I'm paying tuition, not to be their friend.

4. Too much

Taking a break is not the end of the world. Burnout is a very real thing that sucks. Your classwork can wait for an hour.

5. Getting stuck in a Netflix spiral

I love streaming just as much as the next girl. But one episode of "Scandal" quickly turns into 5 hours, and there's really no coming back from that point.

6. Procrastination

I am the Q U E E N of procrastinating. I'll have a week to write a lab report and then stay up all night before lab to do it. It's not a good habit to start, but if you can figure out how to stop, hit me up.

7. When you go home for the weekend

I have NEVER done homework when I've gone home to visit my family on the weekend. I say that I will. I bring my backpack and books. Do I ever touch it though? No. I have grandparents and a little brother and a boyfriend. Studying can wait.

Basically, I'm leading by example by showing you to do the complete opposite of me.

Happy studying!

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.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
