27 Tweets About Pride Month You'll Want To Retweet ASAP

Jennifer Kustanovich

My best friends and I live for the gayest month of the year when profile pictures transform into rainbow-themed masterpieces, the gay couple across the street displays their rainbow flags around the house, and glitter seems to magically fall from the sky!

It's the best time of the year!

My friends and family love to show off our pride and, although we do it all year round, it's especially liberating to have an entire month honoring a group of people that deserve the same respect as any other heterosexual individual. We always go to NYC Pride to celebrate ourselves, one another, and all the sexualities of the world! I've been to pride events all over the globe to experience and support the pure charm of humanity. Not only is pride fun, supportive, energizing, and hilarious, but there is no other environment where the surrounding love in the air is palpable. As people throw glitter, condom and lube packages, and multi-colored flags at you, there is no possible way you can not feel included.

So, stand up for your identity—no matter who you are—and we will be here ready to party with you!

1. Best part of pride month in NYC is the subway posters

The first time I saw these, I started to scream and cry. I love my city.

2. Wig-mazed

I'm astonished, amazed, and trying to copy this as soon as I figure out how get all those wigs on.

3. Oops, guess I made you gay

#howitworks

4. Where my science-geeks at?!

I think I have finally discovered a way to enjoy chemistry.

5. Emotional mamas get it

Supportive parents make the world go round.

6. Hot, sexy, and international humans!

But did you catch that inspirational rainbow kippah on slide 13?! Now that's what I like to call #JewishPride

7. God IS for the gays

She figured it out in a few seconds, you can, too!

8. LGBTQ+ anthems you never knew you needed

Adding these jams to my playlist right now!

9. Sorry, you can't pray the gay away

But really, what kind of monster would want to pray all this love away?

10. It would be even better if the sirens played Madonna's "Vogue"

Move to the right of the road and "let your body move to the music!"

11. Worldwide pride hits me right in the heart-balls every time

It warms my heart to see acceptance in foreign places.

12. Check out the sign in the back

I'm confused about all this confusion.

13. #ProtectTransKids

It's okay to not know, but be open to listening.

14. If you can attend all of them, you get a prize

Buying travel tickets now! Whose joining me? I need an airplane buddy.

15. Grandpa and granddaughter duo

If this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen than I don't know what is.

16. Danny DeVito + Pride = Gaymazing

He was on a float waving to people! I hope I'm that cool by age 73.

17. Yes, it is that part!

Zach, I don't know you, but kudos to you!

18. "Falling in love at a conversion therapy camp"

I also have a confession, not an expert on gay cinema, but totally watching "But I'm a Cheerleader."

19. Never Stop Learning (and Educating)

It's always a good idea to brush up on your knowledge of identity!

20. Unbreakable

Everyone is everyone. All is all. We are united.

21. Weird people are the best people

I'm weird and I'm proud!

22. Relatable

Cue Madonna again!

23. 365 days of pride sounds about right.

And for all our future years.

24. You? Gay? Yeah, we knew already.

When my older brother came out to my mom for the first time, she had a very similar response. Everyone knew he was gay, but he had to be ready to tell everyone himself.

25. Lena Waithe for the win

Waithe's quote doesn't need anymore of a caption.

26. #HoosierDaddy

Love trumps hate.

27. NYC's very own Mike-Hot Pence

That rainbow tie, though?!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Marist College

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
