We Are More Than Conquerors: Perfection In The Midst of Imperfection

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation.

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation. Even in a situation that is barren of emotion, it's easy to find a reason to be down. We want things to go our way with limited information, believing that what we desire is best. Like little wannabe gods, we try to rule our lives with so much doubt and fear as a foundation. To be wrong, to be isolated, to not fit in triggers the actions we take for a "better tomorrow".

What I've come to realize, is that to live in fear, is to live a life of mediocrity. To live in fear is to barely live, it's a mirage by which many make their decision. Those who truly live are those who see the cliff, but decide to jump; instead of falling, they fly.

Have you ever just taken a moment to be thankful, to see where you currently are despite the reasons why you shouldn't be. When you don't enjoy each day for what it is, you will always live for tomorrow. The irony about living for tomorrow is that although it's anticipated, it's never experienced.

Our ability to overcome is more powerful than what we choose to fear. The ability to withstand our battles till the end is what opens our eyes to what lies within us. It gives insight to how much God has poured into us. I was offered a position that I thought was above me, and I was ready to run away from the obstacle at hand. Although the fear within shocked me, the promise of God held me in place. Before I knew it, all the things I thought were impossible, became easy.

This is to show that we are more than capable of completing, and withstanding anything that we face. Remain positive and thankful in trial. Believe in who God created you to be.

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.
