Because you only live once, you should strive for greatness to your own desires.

As many people do, I have at least five things I must accomplish in my life time before my hour glass runs out of sand. I believe we are all placed on Earth to fulfill a purpose, big or small. We all have a destiny to fulfill, a potential to reach, and an impact to make, on one or one million people.

I want to live a good life, filled with memories, moments, tears of joy and sadness, and successes. Don't we all?

1. One thing I must do before I die is have my dream job. I have always aspired to love my job, because if you love what you're doing, you will never work a day in your life. Whether your dream job is a teacher, an artist, a mechanic, in the military, or president of the United States, shoot for the stars, and achieve that job.

2. Fall in love and get married, once. Everyone dreams about their happily ever after. My only goal towards that in life is to fall in love, and stay in love. Stay with the person I married, work through issues, stay together and be happy. I don't want divorce in my future. If something is broke, I want to fix it. I don't want to endure the heart ache and pain that comes along with it, especially if children are involved.

3. Achieve the biggest goal I have set for myself. We all set dreams and aspirations set out for ourselves. Whether we made them at age 5 for 50, we all have on thing at the top of that bucket list we are always itching to cross off. I will make it my mission to cross off the number one spot on my bucket list.

4. Travel to different places, see different things. Often, we place ourselves in bubbles and do not pass through the outer circle of our comfort zone. Great things happen outside of our comfort zones whether we think so or not. By allowing ourselves to see what the world has in store for us beyond what we are used to, we will grow as people spiritually and culturally.

5. Educate myself in the here and now. I don't want to be one of those old folks who shun anything that has happened or has been invented in the last four decades. I want to keep up with the changing times, keep my mind sharp, and be open to the new ways. Although, I might not always like the new ways, changes, and new inventions, I will not be stubborn and act as if I live on a different planet.

Fulfill all your dreams to the best of your abilities!

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.
