53 Thoughts From A Single Person At A Wedding
Storypickers

Weddings: the crown jewel of celebrations, the party of all parties, the ceremony of the ultimate step in a relationship!

... gross.

Or so I thought as I watched my friends and my family members stroll down the aisle to bind themselves to another human for the rest of their lives.

Being the single person (without a plus one) at a wedding is never easy. Your closest companion throughout the event is the bar and the dancefloor, but you make it work for yourself, or so you thought. However, some things may cross the mind of a single pringle witnessing holy matrimony. These are just a few:

1. Ugh, I hate weddings.

2. Ew, they're so cute.

3. These decorations are so cliché.

4. Do they really need all of these centerpieces?

5. I wonder how much of this crap came from a Pinterest board.

6. Oh, good choice in music.

7. Look at them, getting married and stuff.

8. Please, no one cry. I can't handle tears.

9. STOP CRYING MY MAKEUP WILL RUN.

10. I need someone to hold my hand right now.

11. Why am I single?

12. Wait, I know why.

13. Thank God that's over.

14. Where's the bar?

15. There it is.

16. I need someone to flirt with.

17. This day isn't about me, though.

18. But it doesn't hurt to be a little social.

19. Is there anyone else here that's single and cute and remotely my age?

20. Oh, come on.

21. Aaaaaand all the couples are dancing.

22. Maybe I'll ask someone to dance.

23. Maybe the love of my life will show up and this will be the most magical night ever.

24. Oh, they're kissing again.

25. Why does this DJ suck so much?

26. I might as well dance.

27. I hope no one is judging the fact that I'm dancing alone.

28. I don't really care, but still.

29. Time for speeches. Hopefully, no one embarrasses themselves.

30. I really hope someone embarrasses themselves.

31. That was so cute.

32. Am I about to cry?

33. MORE KISSING GAH WHY.

34. Where's the cake?

35. I want this one day.

36. Can't I just fall in love and have my own sappy story?

37. Wait, ew, no.

38. They really are so cute.

39. I love her dress.

40. She could have picked something better for her bridesmaids though. Yuck.

41. I'm so happy for them.

42. But they're making the biggest mistake of their lives.

43. I need another drink.

44. Where's the bride, I wanna dance with her.

45. I wonder if she has any single friends that I can dance with.

46. No, stop this is not about you.

47. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

48. I LOVE THIS SONG.

49. I wonder if the photographer took a picture of me.

50. Hopefully, I don't look too lonely.

51. This is so beautiful.

52. They are so happy.

53. I love weddings.

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.
