Thank You Mom

Thank you mom, for everything you do. I don't know what life would be without you.

Thank You Mom
Kayla Hinton

I wish I could show you how much I love you but it seems impossible because it is such an infinite amount of love. You have the hardest job out there, caring and protecting me. I am so beyond blessed for all you have done and I want to give you thanks.

Thank you for always loving me.

I have been hurt by boys. I have been to the point of feeling like there is no point anymore all because of a stupid broken heart. You mended what I once thought couldn't be fixed. You showed me what love really is and what it really can be. I thank you for showing me that, it has made me stronger and opened up my heart more than ever.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Not many people are good listeners. However mom, you are. We will be driving in the car and I am screaming at the top of my lungs because of something that has frustrated me and your responses/advice amaze me. You either will be calmly agreeing or going of the hinges along side your daughter. Thanks for letting me talk to you about my biggest problems, but the worlds smallest.

Thank you for putting me first.

You have gone through a lot. You have lived this life much longer than I and you have worked so hard in your career. For what? For me. For your kids. You are selfless, you are strong you are everything I hope to be if I ever become a mom.

Thank you for understanding my personality.

You are the only one that truly understands my mind. Perhaps it was because you literally made me or perhaps it's because you basically are super women. I think majority of people see me and think I am insane. However, you mom, you think I am the worlds most perfect human being despite my flaws. You are accepting to not only me but the world, not many people are like that, so thank you.

Thank you for being strong.

You are strong when no one expects you to be. You constantly put on a brave face and never let your kids see you breaking. You know how hard that is for a human to do? You are always the one holding and hugging me when I'm down. You put us before you and all your problems. Thank you for being strong, but just know it is okay not to be, I am here.

Thank you for supporting me.

I could want to work at fast food the rest of my life and you know what you would say? "Whatever makes you happy, I'm happy." You don't doubt or question my choices. You accept them. You back up whatever I want to do in life. I have changed my major multiple times and each time you have given support that I didn't even ask for. Thank you for never doubting my capabilities.

Thank you for being you.

Lastly, thanks for being you mom. How is it that there 7.5 billion people in this world and I got blessed with you? Whenever I am sad, happy, indecisive, under appreciated I look to you. You may not think you are the best mom but I am telling you, you are. My opinion is the only one that should matter. I just hope you know how thankful I am for everything you do and don't cry too much after reading this.

I LOVE YOU!

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.
