To The Parents I Want To Make Proud

Mom, Dad, Thank you. Thank you can't explain how lucky I am to have you two in my life. Working your butts off so that I can go to a college of my choice.

Every day I think about the sacrifices that you two have made for me and how lucky I am to be in the position that I'm in. Disappointing you is the last thing that I want to do, and if I do just know that I'm sorry and I'll learn from my mistakes.

I know that you're always there for me no matter the situation. I know you feel like you harp on me sometimes, but it's ok, I need that. You mold the person that I am today, and I'm content with the decisions I've made and the person who I have come to be.

Mom, your radiant energy, and positivity not only through me but anybody that you enter in contact with is incredible. My friends never say anything bad about you, because you're perfect. You are the most patient person I know, you find the positive in everything, and you work hard with no complaints, I hope to be like you someday.

Dad, your faith, and your leadership is something that is contagious. The way you look at things has taught me not to wait on others, but to go for what I want.

Together, you have taught me the most valuable lessons that not schooling or teaching could have taught me, and no amount of money can be paid to you for the lessons that you taught me. A thank you is all I can give, and that I will try my hardest not only to make you two proud but to make myself proud as well. I love you guys.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

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

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

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.
