The End Of Winter Break As Told by 'Rugrats'

YouTube (Nick Animation)

After close to a month of holiday celebrations, downtime, and family bonding, a new semester is both a reluctant and welcome fresh start. What better way to describe the transition from a winter break spent in your childhood home to a move back to your college town than with the greatest 90s babies to grace television?

1. When all of the holiday hype is over and the decorations are taken down

2. Meanwhile, your bank account is still recovering from Christmas shopping

3. You finally realize that you registered for an 8 am course

4. What it feels like to pay Spring tuition

5. When that financial aid refund hits your bank account

6. Then you pay for rent plus additional expenses and realize you're still broke

7. You start getting excited about seeing your college friends again

8. Then you realize you'll have to get along without you mom's home cooking

9. You attempt to pack your entire bedroom into a suitcase

10. You have to say goodbye to your pet soon...

11. And the younger siblings don't understand why you have to leave

12. Then the syllabi notifications start popping up

13. And you have a pre-semester anxiety breakdown in front of the family

14. You promise yourself that your study habits are going to be different this semester

15. And that you will be dressing up for class every day

16. But most importantly, that you will be spending more time with your ride or die(s)

Here's to a great Spring semester!

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.
