Getting engaged, planning your wedding and getting married are supposed to be some of the most joyous times of your entire life! Well, there are people in the world who like to say and ask some of the most annoying things that take that joy away from you and replace it with pure, unadulterated rage. Here are some of the things I hear almost on a daily basis that I'm absolutely sick of hearing. Who's with me?

1. "You'll change your mind."

If I hear someone tell me that I will change my mind one more time, I am going to absolutely lose my mind. Sure, you are probably right. I may, in fact, change my mind on some decision I have made thus far. That does not mean you have to tell me about it. I thought that changing my mind was up to me. Apparently, I was mistaken.

2. "When? Where? Who?"

Everyone is always so filled with questions! "When are you getting married?" "Where is the ceremony going to be?" "Who is going to be your flower girl?" If you come up to me to ask me one of these questions, I will probably make something up on the spot. But, let me put it to you frankly, if you have to ask, I probably haven't figured it out yet, or you aren't important enough to me to have told you when I did figure it out.

3. "You have time, there's no rush!"

Oh, my bad, I thought that what and when I do something for myself or my wedding was up to me. Again, apparently, I was mistaken. I don't recall a giant memo going out to everyone in the world telling them to constantly tell me what to do and at what speed I should do it. You don't know my life, so pretty please, with a cherry on top, stop telling me what to do with it.

4. "Are you excited?"

Yup, I am, well I was until you asked me this. This is a dumb question. Please disregard the eye-roll that made me pull a muscle in my face when you ask me this ridiculous question.

5. "When will you be starting a family?"

Well, I mean, when we get married we become family, right? I'm pretty sure that's our business. What if we don't want kids? What if we can't have kids? What if you minded your own business? There's a radical new idea!


6. "When *insert name here* got married..."

Guess what, I don't care! Everything you are about to tell me is either completely outdated information or information I just do not care about. I consider myself smart enough to either plan this thing on my own or ask if I want to know something.

Happy wedding planning to all of you brides-to-be out there! Keep the haters at bay and enjoy this time! Have the wedding you and your fiancé want! You two are the only ones who need to be happy, remember that!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
