What Vegas Taught Me

"Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops."

What Vegas Taught Me

Reflecting on the weekend that I had, I have learned some new life lessons, thanks to Las Vegas and my best friends. I spent Wednesday though Sunday in Nevada and I came to find out that the city is not for me. Large crowds, and half naked people make me nervous and overwhelmed. I wanted to write this article to reflect and share some of the memories with friends and family about my trip, so here it is:

1. I turned 21 last week, and I feel no different other than the fact that I can LEGALLY drink! I still feel like a teenager who is trying to find their place in life.

2. I saw a lot of strange people. From Elvis, to a naked 78 year old man dressed as a baby, strange.3. I zip-lined through Fremont Street, and I found out that I love heights even more than I thought. Next time I go, I want to zip-line from the Rio Hotel, which is 50 stories tall :)

4. I don't like to gamble. I gambled on the way home from the airport and lost five dollars. I felt sad that I will never get those five dollars back, ever again.

5. There are so many beautiful buildings in Vegas. My favorite was inside the Bellagio Resort with all of the flowers and sculptures.

6. Being in Vegas during night time is very different than being in Vegas during the day. Waking up and looking outside to see the desert is very contradicting because at night, the state is nothing but a huge party.

7. My moms and her friends are the funniest people alive, along with Hayley of course. I have never laughed so hard in my life until I was with these woman! Thanks again for great trip. P.S. They can still party, trust me.

8. A man free styled about me and it was one of my favorite memories of the trip.

9. No matter what type of shoes you wear, your feet will always end up hurting.

10. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas is a real saying ;)

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.
