30 Thoughts You Have When You're Invited To Your First Wedding

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
