You're Almost There

For every college student reading this, you know it's crunch time. Whether you are currently/have been on break or in the process of finishing the semester, every college student can agree that finals week is one of the most stressful weeks of any given time.

You're thinking that the semester is going smooth and steady and then all of a sudden...BAM! The last few weeks are just around the corner. Those last-minute assignments that professors forget to tell you until close to the end? Say hello to additional stress piling up.

Whether you're studying for exams, finishing up projects, writing papers, or prepping for that final presentation, it's nothing but anxiety and stress in the air. Coffee becomes your best friend (or in my case, tea). The late night munchies kick in to gear during the most random hours of the night. And those frequent trips to 7-Eleven, Dunkin, Wawa, or any gas station? Yeah that becomes a normal cycle.

And to make it even busier? The Holidays are in the air. You want to be in the holiday spirit yet it's sort of hard to when all these necessary assignments, tests, papers, projects, and presentations are piling up. All that holiday shopping? That will have to wait until the week of Christmas.

Flash forward to now, the present. The finished line is awaiting. For every college student out there (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, super senior, etc.) currently studying, typing, prepping their life away, keep that end goal in mind. All those late night studying, typing, prepping, frequent gas station runs, and coffee trips will be worth it. You're going to look back at each semester/quarter and year and think, "Damn, I sure did survive that roller coaster."

Keep your head held high. You're almost done.

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.
