You have always been there for me

Dear Best Friend

I just really want to say thank you.

You do not realize how much I appreciate you. Even when we don't talk for weeks I know that I can go to you with all of my problems. You are such a great listener, and you don't let people mess with me. You're willing to do whatever I need you to, and I am forever grateful for that.

You save me from myself. There have been so many times when I just felt like giving up, but you didn't let me. You helped me pick myself up off the ground. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you.

You've helped me grow and learn to love myself as a person. I have developed such a strong sense of self-love and I know not to settle for anything less than I deserve. I couldn't have done that without you. We have grown so much together over the years and I know that we will always have a special bond. Even if we move away from each other and don't stay in contact, I know that I will always have a friend in you.

Memories of our adventures together will forever be some of my favorites. I can never forget all that you have done for and with me.

I know that I can be a lot to handle sometimes, but you've never seemed to care. You have always loved me for who I am, quirks and all. We have shared our deepest and darkest secrets, and we have had our fights. These moments made us stronger, both as individuals and as best friends. We've gossiped about boys, gone on adventures, and lied for each other. You are the person I know I can trust with absolutely anything.

Everyone needs that person and I'm glad I've found you.

There have been more than one of you over my 18 years on this Earth and this a thank you to every single one of you.

Thank you for being a great best friend. Thank you for being you.

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

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.
