Being a bridesmaid is hard work, but it is also extremely fun. You get to dress up and look nice and have your hair done up. You feel like a princess when you are finished getting primped.

You also have the job of helping the bride with a million wedding tasks. She will ask you to get her things. She will ask for you to go talk to people for her. Anything she asks you must do.

Then there are pictures. There will be so many pictures you will feel like your face is stuck in a smile, but it's worth it. The bride has pictures arranged already, so all you have to do is get in place and smile.

After pictures is the big moment. You wait for your cue then you walk down the aisle and get in your spot. You have to keep your smile on and try not to fidget. Then, you wait for the beautiful bride to come out. I love the reactions of the audience when they first see her. Then, you wait for the kiss that seals the deal then you walk back up the aisle.

Then, there are a few more pictures. After that you go to the reception. The reception is so much fun because of the dancing a laughter we all share and the food is amazing. Then, the bride and groom takes the floor for their first dance. That moment is so beautiful. Next comes the bridal party dance. In the wedding I was just in, the bride surprised us with a fast song instead of a slow song. It was so much fun and it was exciting! The speeches come nect and the best man and the maid of honor say kind words for the bride and groom and for their new lives together.

I loved being a bridesmaid. It was fun, tiring, and a little stressful all at the same time. However, I wouldn't have traded this chance for anything else in the world!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
