Coming to college, I hoped to find friends that I could have when I leave my university and continue to be friends for a long time. I've had some really troublesome friendships over the years, and typically they never last more than a few years. It's never been easy to always end up losing someone you thought you'd be friends with for the rest of your life, but college started something new.

I, like every other freshman, met tons of people my first couple of weeks on campus, and I found a good group of friends pretty quickly to settle into. What shocked me though was on the first few days, I met two girls and who I now call my best friends. Here's to these two because they snuck up on me, but have changed my life for the better.

To The Best Friends Who Snuck Up On Me,

I met you both because I heard the sentence, " You can't punch a ghost," and just had to know the context to that sentence. Once I jumped into that conversation, I met the two people who would be my inspiration, my listening ears, and most of all my best friends at college. I have other friends from home, but you two are so much more than that.

I get to see you two almost every day, and some of the best memories since stepping onto campus have been with you guys. I know we'll continue to create memories together, and I'm so grateful for that. Having you two in my life has made it so much more fun than it was before. One of you can be pretty abrasive, but I respect the honesty and straightforwardness you offer me. The other one of you two is super encouraging and always makes me feel as if anything is possible. You two are completely different, but that's what makes being friends with you both so great.

You two are vastly different, and I love being able to have such diverse best friends in you two. Every day with you two is an adventure because I never know what to expect. You two keep me on my toes and keep my days exciting. It may have only been two months since we met, but it already feels like a lifetime of friendship. These two months have been exhilarating, and I hope we keep spending time together and creating even more amazing memories.

I know I have two true friends in you guys because no matter what, you never judge me. I can be my truest self, and you two accept me for me. You know my story pretty well now-- and I've shared a lot about myself with you guys-- but you haven't taken anything I've shared as a bad thing. You've simply listened and accepted me. I've never felt this understood in my life. Thank you for accepting me, every little messy and damaged part of me.

You two are also stars shining brightly that guide me to try harder every day. I am inspired by the hard work you both put forth in your life and your studies, and I only hope to match up to your capabilities. You also encourage me to do more and be better, and I'm so glad you two do that. With you guys by my side, I feel like anything is possible. Thank you for making me want to be better, and thank you for encouraging me to reach for the stars.

I have never had friendships like these two, but I'm so grateful for them. Thank you for coming into my life, even if you snuck up on me. You two were the greatest surprise someone could ask for.

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.
