9 Thoughts Everyone Is Thinking At A Wedding
Double JJ Resort

The vast majority of us have attended a wedding or two in our lifetime thus far, but what we donā€™t realize is that there are some similarities between weddings: our thoughts. Many of us have a variety of feelings about the marriage and the people included, but we have the same thoughts during the entire entourage of the wedding. Here are a few.

1. When will this start?

The typical partygoer is there to celebrate the marriage sure, but mostly for the free food and an excuse to trap the kids with the babysitter. You would be surprised by how many people are impatient for it to start, though.

2. Will they last?

It is a question that no one wants to say out loud. Will this currently happy couple last? Or will this entire thing end in a messy divorce in a year or so? Sometimes we automatically know the answer, but it isnā€™t always that we are sure they are soulmates.

3. When is my wedding?

This is mostly geared toward the females, but we all wonder when it will be our turn to send out fancy invitations to relatives whose names we barely know. We wonder who it will be to, or when they will even pop the question. Weddings are romantic and can make for a good date, but they also spark feelings of romanticism.

4. They look so happy.

Everyone watches the couple of the hour, and everyone notices the brilliant smiles on their faces. We all wish for a similar happiness, but theirs is contagious for now.

5. This is the only time he is allowed to cry.

I have yet to be to a wedding that didnā€™t include the groom crying. Those tears are probably the most we have ever seen from that man, but it isnā€™t bad, it is good. Us females are watching and wondering if our husband will be crying, but the men wonder if their spouse to be will be worth those tears in front of everyone he knows.

6. How is the food going to be?

Like I said, most of us are there for the food. Will it be a buffet, or is it an actual meal that is served to us? Did they hire a cheap cater or the good one with that secret gravy that blows your mind? Will it be filling, or should you get your insulin ready to raid the dessert table?

7. The ceremony was beautiful.

Even the simplest of weddings have a certain beauty to them. Whether they went all out or decided on a simplistic courthouse wedding, there is a certain edge to it that compliments them as a couple and makes it nice and sweet.

8. They have a lot/little friends.

We all see the groomsmen and bridesmaids standing up beside them. Sometimes there are ten of each, and sometimes there are only one or two each. It poses the question of how many friends they have or lack. It is kind of an interesting thought.

9. What do I want for my wedding?

Aside from questioning when your wedding will occur, the next step is trying to decide what you liked and didnā€™t like about their wedding and what you would like to use. Stealing ideas and such. Did you like their season choice? Location choice? Food choice? Everything that goes into a wedding is a choice that most of us play through our head and decide if we wouldā€™ve done it the same for our own big days.

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 clichƩs, 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 donā€™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. Donā€™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 youā€™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. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™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.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
