Every girl dreams of her wedding day. As a child you play with your dolls, envisioning the big day. Then as you grow older you begin to fantasize, what will he look like, how will his last name fit with yours, and what will forever be.

But sometimes as we grow older, we begin growing more and more realistic. We start challenging whether or not that day will ever come, and if HE truly exists. Some of us begin allowing the doubt to change into negativity. Saying, "forget it, I'll never be married." Attending weddings of our friends, and our family, watching them say "I do," as we tell ourselves, "I won't."

Maybe you've let go of the fantasy, and forgotten the fairytale. There's nothing wrong with that because sometimes that's apart of growing up.

Maybe you've gotten older and have started purchasing various species of cats.

Maybe you're in school watching all of your friends get engaged.

Or maybe you're just tired of being disappointed.

But the thing is, there's something about that moment, the moment your future is secured, and the ring is on your finger. The moment your bridesmaids are getting ready, and your mom is buttoning up your dress. That is a moment every girl deserves. Because that moment says, "love truly does exist." And this is your day.

It's not just about the fact that you planned this day, set up all the decorations, and invited all the people, or that you're surrounded by your friends and family.

It's the fact that today says, "I love you."

And "I choose you."

This is the moment you get to relish in for the rest of your life. Every girl deserves this kind of moment because every girl deserves to be told, "you're special, and you deserve a day like this." Maybe you want it so bad, or you've pushed it aside altogether. But know, that you're worthy of it.

Know that you deserve to have your family, and friends surround you with love. To shower you with gifts, and spend an outrageous amount of money on you. That you deserve a guy to get down on his knee and ask you the most important question anyone could ask you.

Of course, the wedding itself is so special, and the planning is important. Walking down the aisle to greet the love of your life, and enjoying your first dance is all something we dream of or have been told of. But that moment, that moment you're sitting in your dress with all your girlfriends by you. Your mom getting emotional, and your dad coming in to see you before walking you into the church.

All of it is so special and so incredible.

Having that kind of moment, pausing and relishing in the fact that in a few hours, or minutes you'll become someone's love, forever. You'll change your last name, add a ring to your finger, cut a cake, and drive off to a new life.

Every girl deserves that, every girl deserves that moment.

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.
