Stuff About Yours Truly

This Is Real, This Is Me
Jersey Evening Post

Usually, people start off writing an introduction to themselves as "Hi, I'm (blank) and I am (blank) years old. I am majoring in (blah blah blah) and my hobbies are (even more blah blah blah)." Not this time though. I will be writing about myself differently so I don't bore you all with the stereotypical "Hi my name is..." statements. Instead, I will tell about myself things that I feel are necessary to know about who I am as a person.

One of the first things I say to people when I meet them is "Sorry" and "Ahhhh" because I'm usually too nervous to say anything else in a comprehensible language. And If you see me with my headphones in, I'm usually not listening to music. I'm just trying to concentrate. Most of my friends and I talk through Snapchat so I'm often seen in public places making faces at no one in hopes no one sees (even though I know everyone probably saw). I claim to eat healthy, but in reality I eat more pasta and ice cream than anyone else I know. Being an ex-wanna-be-scene girl (shudder), I really like pop/punk/rock music of any kind. Jellyfish are the most beautiful creatures in the world to me aesthetically, but I also believe dogs have the most beautiful souls in the world. The Rogue Valley has been my home since as long as I can remember and Ashland is by far my favorite city in the world (so far). I also would like to add I have a dry sense of humor and the amounts of sarcasm I sprinkle on to everything are a little too heavy for some, so proceed with caution.

As I write more articles, I will hopefully be able to convey who I am in others ways. I'm very excited to be an odysey writer and couldn't be happier than where I am now at SOU doing what I love.

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.

Blair Waldorf
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.
