10 Things 'How To Get Away With Murder' Teaches You About College
Variety Media

Shonda Rhimes's hit series "How To Get Away With Murder" has captured the hearts of the nation. Every Thursday night, we are all at the edge of our seats, hearts palpating, and consistently hyperventilating as we anticipate what surprise the show is going to throw at us this time. What has become more than a television series has taught us what it means to protect those you love the most, how to stand up for yourself, and especially to never accept defeat. Now, what has "How To Get Away With Murder" taught me about college...


1. The overly-excited student will somehow always find their way to sit next to you on the first day of class


2. After three all-nighters in a row, you start to get on edge


3. As much as you'd like to believe you're the only one suffering, you never are alone

4. After missing just one lecture, nothing seems to make sense anymore


5. You'll always tell yourself, "I'm going to study a little every day," but you can't seem to ignore the little voice in your head


6. When you get asked to answer a question in class, you realize you have no idea how to study


7. Then you realize the review that was given in class is nothing like the actual exam


8. There will always be that one person who will ask what grade you got on the test you know you bombed


9. In due time, you begin to pick up on where to start in order to start succeeding


10. Then you finally realize that college may not be so terrible after all

It's a scary world out there, but just remember what Annalise Keating once said: "Think carefully. Everything after this moment will not only determine your career, but life."

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
