Any genuine person can agree that these are "trends" we must get over in the new year.

1. Men thinking they have control over women's choices

2. And their bodies 

3. Dress codes 

4. Because our bodies (both men and women's) are a canvas and you can dress your canvas how you want to 

5. Using the R-word like it's okay 

6. Which it's not, no matter what context you use it in 

7. Slut Shaming

8. Skinny or fat shaming

9. Judging others in general  

10. For ANYTHING 

11. Such as the way they dress 

12. The way that they talk 

13. The way that they study or practice anything from religion to school work

14. Telling men that they aint shit

15. Because this isn't fair to men 

16. And women wouldn't like it if men told them something similar in context

17. Because men and women are the shit

18. Cheating. Leave this in 2018. 

19. From exams to your partner, leave your cheating trait behind 

20. Shit-talking

21. Because this doesn't make anybody feel good about themselves

22. Lying

23. I shouldn't have to say anything more about this

24. The idea that people are objects 

25. Not just women, but every body

26. This includes immigrants

27. And our president 

28. They are all people, not objects deserving of hate, assault, and cruelty

29. The idea that men and women are equal 

30. Because we aren't

31. Our creator made women to do the things men can't do and men to do the things women can't do 

31. Therefore, we are not equal 

32. But we are equally useful and purposeful in society

33. The idea that children don't have a voice

34. Because they do, we just don't give them the chance to show it

35. The idea that anxiety and other mental disorders define a person

36. A good way to gain insight on this is to practice saying something such as "My son has depression" instead of "my depressed son" 

47. This way you are not using someone's illness to literally define them 

48. The idea that being nice costs nothing

49. Because it can cost you relationships and opportunities if you are "too nice"

50. And result in you getting used 

51. But, despite this, please be a nice person in 2019

52. The general idea that you are not worthy 

53. Because I promise you, you are 

54. The idea that fresh starts have to wait until Monday 

55. Because a fresh start, starts today

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
