There is a plan beyond your present that is unseen

The Truth Behind Breakups
www.themindunleashed.com

At one point or another in your life you will most likely experience a breakup, and not all breakups are the same, but I can guarantee you that eventually, if you haven't already, you will experience at least one breakup that completely blindsides you. A breakup that you never saw coming. When this happens you will almost always start questioning everything, wondering what it was that you did wrong and how you can fix it. That is, until you realize the real truth behind breakups. 9 times out of 10 I believe a breakup occurs because one or two people in the relationship are not ready, or are incompatible with each other. Generally if the breakup is due to incompatibility you will have seen signs for a few weeks before the actual breakup. These signs may include various arguments and fights and most of the time you can foresee a breakup in the near future. Blindsided breakups on the other hand are often the ones I believe are due to individuals not being ready. This could be both or only one individual in the relationship. Now, this is the tricky part. Thinking that you are ready may not actually mean that you are ready. That is a little confusing, right? Just because you believe you are ready does not mean that you are actually ready. God has a plan for each and every one of us. If you believe that there is something greater than yourself and that everything happens for a reason, this will make a lot of sense. No matter how much you feel or think that you are ready, there may be an unseen reason why this relationship is not working out that you cannot see presently. It could be because there is another person that God has planned you to be with. It could be that there are things that need to be top priority for you instead of a significant other at this point in time. It could be that there are still other things that you need to accomplish before you get too serious with another person. It could be that you need to find more things out about yourself before being with another person long term. It could be thousands of things that are unseen at the present moment. One thing that I can promise you, is that if you are meant to be with someone, you will be with that person. You do not need to change who you are, chase them, or spend your time wondering what you did wrong. If you are meant to be with someone, it will work out that way when/if it is supposed to. Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

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.
