Dear reader,

This article is about Winston. I know I'm a history major, but I'm not talking about Winston Churchill. I'm talking about a much more important Winston. Winston from New Girl. No, not Winston Schmidt. Winston Bishop, the often forgotten, but my favorite character on New Girl.

I am so sorry for your classic Winston prank, but there is nothing wrong with the character Winston Bishop or the actor that plays him.

Not only does Winston deserve his own show for the amount of pure life he brings that show, but he along the way also teaches us how to be a friend. Here's how:

1. He is a pure child 

One of the best things about Winston is that he is always willing to be a kid. When it comes to pranks or any other way to get involved, Winston is there to make you remember not to take life too seriously. Now does he go above and beyond expectations to the point of endangerment and ruining a certain wedding? Yes. But he never puts his ego first and is always ready for a game, puzzle, and new life adventure.

2. He doesn't care what others think

Winston is the kind of friend you can be yourself and party with.

3. He is compassionate 

I think we all can learn a thing or to for Winston's pure love for the true queen of the show, Ferguson, Winston's cat.

4. He shows up

We all should be a friend who is willing to show up and go the extra mile for his friends.

5. He keeps his friends accountable 

Winston is always there to tell the truth about any crap that's happening in their friend group.

6. He is willing to be the minor character 

What really stands out about Winston is his ability to care for others.

We live in a world of performance, and to do this we assume that we all singularly are the center of own universes. But Winston is different. He listens to others, helps them out before he asks for anything in return, and constantly forgives his friends when they leave him somewhere in their "more important" romantic moments. He helps others achieves their goals, supports them on their journeys, and is there for any pranks along the way.

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.
