1. RELAX

The thought of sitting on the couch and watching T.V makes me so happy. As a college student I know many people emphasize the importance of working during the break. Which is true. However after 9 months in school, constant studying, and all-nighters, what's wrong with relaxing? I feel in order for me to give my best effort towards my internship I need my time to kick my feet up and relax!

2. GO TO SIX FLAGS & THE BEACH

During the school year, I couldn't wait for the weather to warm up so I can go to six flags and the beach. Six flags allow me to escape from adulating for just a little. I've been out of school little over a week so I haven't been to these places yet. But when I do, I can’t wait to eat funnel cake, Thrasher’s french fries, and mango water ice!

3. WORK

Hey you knew work would come on this list sooner or later. For most of us, college isn't free. But considering I’m not taking any summer courses its best to stack up now. I am grateful to have received an internship at a Law Firm so I hope I will be able to apply the new competencies during the fall semester.

4. WORK Part 2

Trust and believe I am an advocate of having a healthy work/life balance. However, this summer I want to find or enhance my talents. Therefore when I’m not working I should be learning new ways to develop my writing skills, broadcast my creativity, and turn my strengths into opportunities.

5. LEARN MORE ABOUT MYSELF

This past semester I took a class called Contemporary Organizational Behavior. This class concentrated on the study of people and what people THINK, FEEL, and DO within an organization. Although the class centered these qualities within a company I was able to identify individual characteristics I have, that I may not acknowledge. My goal is to learn more about myself through books, taking risks, and doing more activities independently.I hope everyone reading this feels inspired to create a list of goals for the summer.

And for my sister who keeps saying I have a pudge. Working out will come somewhere in between goal 6 and 7. HA!

XOXO!

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.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

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.
