Top 5 WTF Moments During The DNC
CNN

In comparison to the RNC, the week before, the DNC was expected to be much smoother and less outrageous. However, issues began pouring in since day one.

1. Wikileaks reveal.


In yet another email scandal for the Democrats, Wikileaks published thousands of emails between staffers of the DNC which discussed ways to undermine Bernie Sanders' campaign during the primaries. This gave evidence to the worst kept secret in the Democratic Party, the DNC preferred Hillary to win. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, insisted of being neutral until now and was booed by Sander supporters when she took the mic Monday of the convention. She promptly resigned as the chair, only to be scooped up later by Hillary's campaign.

2. Bernie gets booed


Despite the new revelations, Bernie still a job to do. That same day, Bernie addressed his supporters, urging them to support and vote for Hillary Clinton. That did not fare well as his own supporters booed him as he tried to calm them down while saying "this is the reality we live in."

3. Sarah Silverman rant


That same night, Sarah Silverman and Senator Al Franken took to the stage. The night's theme was unity and to display that, Franken (a Hillary Supporter) and Silverman (a Bernie supporter) tried to show that bruised feelings can heal. Silverman tried to explain that Bernie supporters can still rally behind Hillary but was booed by ardent Bernie supporters. She eventually went off script, "to the Bernie or Bust people, you're being ridiculous," which prompted even louder boos from the audience.

"You're being ridiculous"

4. Sander delegates stage fart in


To show their commitment to Bernie and defiance to Hillary and the DNC, delegates pledged to Bernie staged a fart in. Prior to Hillary's speech, delegates chowed down on beans and would let it rip during Hillary's acceptance speech to show what they really thought of her.

5. Hillary's critics


After Hillary's acceptance speech, some critics attacked her delivery instead of her content. Specifically, lamenting over her lecturing and aggressive tone with many saying that she should calm down and smile more. More of this to come if she is elected as President.

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.

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.
