In This Article:

Without a doubt, Skeeter Phelan is one of the most relatable characters in literature (and on the big screen). She's witty, sassy, bold, and funny. Not to mention, her movie incarnation is brought to life by none other than Emma Stone. Her family is a little bit annoying, but very loving. Her boyfriend is a hard headed idiot, but she loves him. And her reactions to various situations probably make her your spirit animal.

1. Every time her mother reminded her that she's still single

Giphy

I think everyone on the planet has either been here or will be one day.

2. When she had to double check what people were talking about

Giphy

Honestly, this is me every single day.

3. Every time she hits someone with an eye roll

Giphy

We all aspire to this level of sass.

4. When she was shocked by her good hair day

Giphy

If this isn't me, I don't know what is.

5. When everything was just too much for her to handle

Giphy

We all have those moments of pure mental breakdown.

6. When she was so surprised by the people around her

Giphy

Whether it was a good moment or a bad moment, we've all had it!

7. When she was stubborn as heck

Giphy

She wasn't backing down for anything, especially on things that were important to her.

8. When she was feeling particularly satisfied with herself

Giphy

Look at her little smirk and sassy sunglasses! She was totally happy with whatever she had been up to!

9. When she was just a little confused (again)

Giphy

If you say that this isn't your reaction when your mom asks you if you've had enough water/sleep during the semester, you're probably lying.

10. When she was just done with everyone

Giphy

Seconding that full body sigh, Skeeter!

11. And finally, when she wasn't afraid to tell it like it is

Giphy

You go, girl!

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.

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

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.
