20 Thoughts I Had While Shopping For A Bridesmaid's Dress

So many dresses, so little time.

20 Thoughts I Had While Shopping For A Bridesmaid's Dress
Collider

One of my best friends is getting married, which means bridesmaid dress shopping was a must. She decided that as long as the dresses were the same length and color, each bridesmaid could choose whatever style we wanted to wear. This is great because everyone gets to wear what they feel most comfortable in. But it also means we had to go shopping and actually find a dress...which was definitely an adventure.

1. LOOK AT ALL THESE DRESSES. How do I pick one??


2. Why do designers always have fancy names for colors? Our dresses are NAVY but nooo they’re technically “marine”

3. I need a dress with pockets ASAP

4. Of course, the one I like is more expensive than the others.

5. Maybe the clearance rack will have something.

6. Nope, nothing “marine” over there. Darn.

7. Maybe I can start a GoFundMe for my dress.


8. Oh, I did NOT wear the right bra for this occasion.

9. Note to self: sports bras are probably not the best for bridesmaid’s dresses

10. Can someone zip me up?

11. Oh, you can’t get it to zip? That’s great. Terrific.


12. This size fits in a different dress though?? NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE


13. Omg, I think I ripped this dress.

14. This is why I can’t have nice things.

15. Why are there so many mirrors in here? I could do without all these angles of my body.

16. Wow I really should’ve shaved before this

17. I think I found the one!

18. I can’t breathe in it but that’s normal, right?


19. Just remember, this will all be worth it in a few months.

20. Because your best friend is getting married and you love her and would do anything for her. Including not breathing for a night.

Despite all the shopping struggles, I am seriously pumped for this wedding. Being a bridesmaid is an honor, and it is so great to support someone you love on such an important day.

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
