5 Reasons Pride Is Better When You're With Your Partner

Before this year's Pride, I had only been to Pride once. The first time I went to Pride, I went with a bunch of my friends and I was single. Going to Pride this year with my partner was completely different.

1. You're Already In A Safe Space, But You're With Someone You Love

Pride is a space where you can be fully yourself, whatever that means to you. When you are with your partner you already feel safe, but being in an environment where you are surrounded by love and support it is ten times greater.

2. You Have Someone To Dance With

A good pride means you are dancing and dancing alone is never fun. Whether you go with friends, family, or your partner; dancing is so much more fun. My partner says that I don't dance well but she still danced with me at pride.

3. You Get To Take Cute Pictures Together

Pictures with your partner are amazing and can capture memories. At Pride you get to take several pictures in an environment that celebrates people like you and the relationship that you are in.

4. You Don't Have To Awkwardly Go To Booths Alone

Pride is partially about free stuff and when you are with someone you don't have to go alone. The awkward conversations that happen at those booths when you're alone are cringy and sometimes you feel bad for not buying anything. If your partner is with you then you can either make them talk to the person or you can just talk to each other and then get the free rainbows.

5. It Means More 

Going to pride alone or with friends is fun but it never means as much as going to your first pride with your partner. The overwhelming feeling of acceptance, love, and happiness spreads over you. Sharing the experience of pride with your partner is a million times better than any pride you have ever been to.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
