I Wear My Heart On My Sleeve, And I Would Not Want It Any Other Way

I was always told that wearing my heart on my sleeve is terrible, but now I am coming to terms that it's not.

Here's the thing about me wearing my heart on my sleeve, I mean what I say. I will look at you and tell you exactly what I'm thinking, how I'm feeling and share a lot more than I should. I trust strangers, I am willing to look vulnerable, I am willing to discuss my weaknesses. I don't know how to play games, how to manipulate others to get what I want or how to wear a different mask in public.

I am real. I will show you my scars and tell you my stories. I am not ashamed of my past or my mistakes. I want to make you feel comfortable, I want to make you feel safe knowing I'm not lying to you, I don't have ulterior motives and I'm not trying to get close to you for selfish reasons. I'm talking to you because I genuinely like you, I genuinely want to know more about you. I genuinely care.

I will hug you a little tighter, give you more than one kiss, stay for one more hour and try to keep you in my life. I'm the one who always makes time for you when you need me. I'm the one who remembers birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. I'm the ones who always remember you and who you are.

My mission is to heal and fix people. My mission is to try to rebuild what others have destroyed. And before you say, "That's not possible, you can't fix people." You may not be able to fully fix someone, but you can sure as hell try to make their life a little better.

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.
