It Comes and It Goes

1. Done with finals = Start drinking

It's time to go home. Whether you're a car ride or a plane ride away, you feel so close that you can taste it.

2. Party with all your home friends

When you get home first things first: you have to see all your friends. What better way to see them all but to go out and party with them.

3. Eat all of your hometown delicacies

You've been home for a day or two. You finally have a car at your disposal, so can go out and eat all that food you've been dreaming about while eating dining hall food.

4. Binge watch Netflix series

It's mid-break and you're running out of things to do because you have all the time in the world. Time to start a new Netflix series. Maybe it's even time to start rewatching old series that you loved so much.

5. Run into ex's and other people you don't want to see.

You've been home for so long now that when you start going to breakfast spots and parties, you're bound run into an old acquaintance or an ex boyfriend or girlfriend who you really don't want to see.

6. Start fighting with parents

Living in close proximity with your parents again after being on your own us a recipe for disaster. Naturally, fights start because you are living under their roof and by their rules once again.

7. Start missing your school friends

When you get to the last episode of the season on Netflix, you see something that reminds you of your friends from college. You start to really miss them.

8. Start to miss living on your own

You miss your freedom! You miss coming home whenever, eating whenever, waking up whenever.

9. Start to miss school parties

The "house parties" at home are just not the same as college parties. You're ready too back.

10. Sit like a vegetable on the couch until it's time to go back.

You have nothing left to do at home but wait. So you sit on the couch and count down the hours until you can return to school.

11. Finally reunited with your friends from school!

12. One little thing you forgot...school work.

While yes, it's amazing to be back at school, that does mean you have to start working again.

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.
