Dear My Maid of Honor

Because I Wouldn't Want Anyone Else By My Side

Dear My Maid of Honor,

Thank you for everything you've done for me and everything you will do for me in the future. Thank you for being there when no one else and thank you for being my best friend. You were there through my awkward years and strange times. You were there during all of my laughs and through many of the tears. You were there when I obsessed over every new crush and helped me get over every heartbreak. You were there through insane life choices like what color I'm dying my hair or what to order when we do out to eat. Honestly though, I'm happy you made the choice to become my friend back in high school. I'm forever grateful for you and your ability to put up with my weirdness, my endless rambling and always making me feel like I had someone to turn to.

Okay so I may have not gotten the ring yet, but let's face it we both know that it's coming... eventually. Maybe even sooner than later, but honestly you knew for years now that I would be asking you to stand there and be next to me as I marry the man of my dreams. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side with all the planning, and adventuring, especially with picking out the dress.

I'm thankful I had you when I was first interested in this guy. You gave me great advice and constantly told me I was ready to try, even though I didn't think so. The advice you gave me was to give everyone a chance but never to jump in head first unless they were willing to jump in with you. And well I'm glad listened to you. You always gave me the best advice, though sometimes I wouldn't take it and feel stupid afterward. Anyway, somehow this one passed all your tests and you approve of him. And I'm so glad that you do. Let's face the truth, you're going to know the moment he asks way before I do and hopefully, you're going to be there wherever it happens.

I know you're going to accept the title of Maid of Honor when I officially ask you, but don't worry I'll still ask you in an insanely creative way. And we will venture through this crazy planning process together. I can't wait and I hope you can't either! I want to apologize in advance though for any crazy bridezilla things I might do.

But thank you again for being my best friend, my partner in crime, and my number one. Thank you for saving my sanity, or giving up yours to reach my level. Thank you for all the late night food runs, last minute sleepovers and random shenanigans we have done. Thank you for being there to tell what was and wasn't a good idea. Thank you for being the one I want to be by my side.

Love,

Your Best Friend

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
