As you get older, getting invited to weddings and baby showers becomes inevitable. Once you hit 20, Facebook notifications come in from childhood friends, college acquaintances and relatives. It's bad enough being forever alone but the realization of becoming an actual adult soon follows. Here are 30 thoughts on being invited to your first wedding:

1. OH, MY GOD!!! NO WAY! I can't believe they're getting married!

2. I'm so excited to see everyone! I've always wanted to go to a wedding.

3. Wait, does this mean I have to buy a new dress?

4. Wait, do I have to buy them a wedding present...?

5. Can I get them like a ten dollar thing?

6. I should probably call my mom to figure this out.

7. 100 DOLLARS FOR A GIFT?!?!

8. I didn't even get a new outfit yet.

9. What the hell am I supposed to buy? Like a lamp?

10. Oh god... I'm the only single one going to this.

11. Now, I need to find a date.

12. Where am I going to find someone that I can take to a wedding?

13. I guess I can always bring my best friend.

14. Is it open bar?

15. How drunk can you get at a wedding and it still be socially acceptable?

16. Maybe I'll switch my card onto a different gift.

17. Oh, my date and I can go halfsies... but that still involves me finding someone to bring.

18. Do I have to wear heels? I can barely walk in flats so I don't want to embarrass myself in front of people I don't know that well.

19. Wait, do I go to the church AND party after?

20. Would it be awkward if I went alone?

21. I hope they play good music.

22. Wow, this is getting kind of expensive...

23. Are all weddings going to be this expensive?

24. I definitely don't have money to keep doing this.

25. I'm way too young to be invited to go to a wedding for my friends.

26. Maybe I'm not that young?

27. Wow, I can't believe I'm getting so old.

28. Oh my god, is this going to keep happening?

29. This is so weird. I can't even believe I know people getting married.

30. I can't believe how much of an adult I am.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
