This may bite me in the butt but oh well.

A Week In The Life Of Me: Procrastination Station
Cosmopolitan UK

Every week at the beginning of the week I ALWAYS tell myself that I'm going to have my article done first to set an example for my team. What ALWAYS happens is that i wait until Saturday or Sunday evening to write my article. EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. I don't know why i procrastinate every week, because i have all Friday afternoon off, and basically every Tuesday and Thursday until 11 off. It's a continuous cycle of "I should get that done early" on Monday, to "Oh i have until Sunday" on Thursday, to "OH CRAP THATS DUE TONIGHT" on Sunday. Here is generally how the procrastination/distraction process goes:

1. Monday: "Oh Im going to get that done early!" *gets distracted by trying to figure out whats going on at GSA*


2. Tuesday: "Oh hey I'm going to start my article tonight!" *gets distracted by Sloth video on Facebook*



3.Wednesday:"Oh yea my article is due in a few days better get on it" *gets distracted by golden retriever video/picture on some sort of social media*


4. Thursday: "Pff I've got till Sunday to finish this, but I should come up with an idea" *gets distracted by something in my room*



5. Friday: "Have to send out that reminder! I should probs start that article" *falls asleep listening to music in bed"


6. Saturday: "Gotta send out the second reminder.....and start my article" *gets distracted by waffle at brunch*


7.Sunday: "The third reminder (and probably like 5 more) has to go out today and what am I missing...... CRAP MY ARTICLE HAS TO BE SUBMITTED!" *goes into panic mode and runs around with a bowl on head"



And this is a day in the life of an editor whom is also a writer.......
This is the weekly struggle I put myself through. Every week i tell myself I'm going to be different, but every week the same thing happens. Is there some sort of reward for this? Probably not, but hey I still can do what I love every week so thats a plus.

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.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
