What Life Should Be
TruthTheory

The question that is asked by most, if not all, people is “what should I being doing with my life?” Well, quite frankly, there is no true answer. Life is what you make it by making choices to do or don’t do things. I believe life should be adventurous, be filled with laughter and love, and simply, be happy.

Life should be adventurous. No one just wants to sit around all day long, doing nothing and being bored out of their minds. At least, most people wouldn’t want that. Sometimes money is tight, that feeling is known widely. There are plenty of places to go that can get you out of your normal settings. Such as going on a picnic in the park with friends or family, going to a zoo to look at all the different types of exotic animals, and even going swimming in a lake or a swimming pool, of your choice. These options are limitless. Explore, it definitely makes life worthwhile, and getting to spend it with people you love just makes it so much more worth it.

Laughter and love should always be a part of life. All types of stories bring up memories that were, and still are, filled with love and laughter. It could be remembering all the good times with those who have passed away, or just silly stories from any time at all. Laughing and having good times makes more memories that can be told for many, many years. Spending time with loved ones makes memories that can be shared over and over again. Just think, life could be so different if certain people weren’t in your life.

Simply, life should be happy. You shouldn’t have to make your life miserable to suit someone else. Happiness comes in different ways, but finding what makes you truly happy is the most important thing. Do things that make you happy, whether others approve of it or not. It is your own life, live it to the fullest.

Life should be filled with laughter, love, adventures and happiness. Having people to share it with makes it worthwhile.

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.
