Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl

It's only depressing until you don't have to pay rent.

Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl
Princesa da Preguica

Ah, summer. The only people who enjoy summer more than high school students are college students. Finally we get to pack up our dorms and say goodbye to exams, finals, and ridiculous term papers for three glorious months of nothing (unless you take summer classes, and if so, bless your soul). So here's your summer vacation, as summed up by the show New Girl.

When you see high schoolers driving around town


But then you realize they are judging you for moving back in with your parents


Then you get home and have to explain your car's contents to your parents


You start out trying to pretend you don't drink


But then you try to innocently order your first drink in front of your parents


And you feel so guilty for pretending you haven't drank before


But by the end of summer you really stop caring what they think


So you spend your summer doing nothing


But then you realize you need a job


When really you don't want to work at all


You realize all your friends are studying abroad or doing really cool internships


And you start losing touch with the world


Your parents try to relate to make you feel better about living at home


But you secretly love not having roommates


And you know you couldn't survive on your own


...And you really enjoy the free groceries


So you accept your fate


Before you know it, it's time to go back to school


And then your friends ask what you did with your summer

Yup, sounds about right, Winston.

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.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! 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.
