Your first year of college comes with a lot of emotions and new experiences. From the mysterious food in the dining halls to bonding with friends, the freshman year is one of the toughest years of college. The American classic that is "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" can perfectly describe the ups and downs of maneuvering that first year.

1. When you and your roommate can finally get weird with each other


You're going to be spending some SERIOUS time together over the next 10 months. Time to get comfortable.

2. Realizing time is key when it comes to getting a good seat in class


If you don't believe me, try showing up to your 100 person geology lecture with three minutes to spare.

3. Bragging to your classmates when you pass the test everyone else failed


You're not sure how you did that either, but you're rolling with it.

4. That first drunken make out that none of your friends will ever let you live down


It was embarrassing and a little hazy. Never fear, your pals definitely snapped the whole thing.

5. The moment when you've had one too many cups of coffee during your all-nighter

Your body is tingling and you're sleep deprived, but damn it if you didn't finish that paper.

6. That one freshman who thinks he's The Hulk after two drinks

This should be fun to watch, stick around and enjoy the show.

7. And finally, doing whatever it takes to meet the word count on your final

You've had 25 words left for three hours. JUST END IT ALREADY.

"Talladega Nights" is one the most iconic movies of our time, and completely applicable in any situation.

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.
