This past weekend, I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding. It was so much fun to be part of her special day and everything that goes into a wedding. So many moments of stress, laughter, excitement and anticipation occur on the day of. Everything from hoping I don't accidentally trip walking down the aisle (you'll be happy to know that I didn't) to relaxing as someone did my hair and makeup, to really hoping my bridesmaid dress still fit after having not tried it on for a couple weeks (probably not the best idea on my part, but I was able to zip myself in).

1. I sure hope I don't trip and make a scene walking down the aisle.

2. Wow, these heels are so uncomfortable. Why did I think wearing these was a good idea?

3. OMG, did you see the groom's face when he saw her walking down the aisle? If my husband doesn't have a good reaction I'm turning around.

4. Ugh, I need to remember this. I totally am stealing this idea for my wedding.

5. What's that? Open bar? HECK YEAH, I'm not going to be able to feel how sore my feet are in no time.

6. When is dinner because I am ravenous.

7. Oooo, they're cutting the cake! I wonder if he'll shove a piece in her face or just feed her a little piece. It'd be so funny if he did shove it in her face... but if he gets it on her dress he is SO dead.

8. I haven't tried this dress on in weeks I sure hope it still fits.

9. I feel stressed and I'm not even the one getting married.

10. I hope they have a basket of comfy sandals for dancing because there is no way I can keep these heels on a second longer.

11. Boys are so lucky. They get to wear pants and a shirt and here we are in tight dresses, painful heels and a super uncomfortable bra.

12. This is great. I wish someone would come and do my hair and makeup for me every morning.

13. I really need to find another occasion to wear this dress at, because I look...

14. I can't wait to take so many cute pictures with everyone (and of course some bathroom mirror selfies)

15. I hope no one here is judgmental because. . .

16. What's that? More drinks? Yes, please.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
