Get Married When You Are Ready

One of the happiest days of your life is when you get to stand in front of of your friends and family and say the words, "I do" to the love of your life. You get to look like a princess and finally after a long time, you get to have your prince, but without all of the controlling parent stuff that goes with it.

Many people will tell you when to get married. They will tell you that getting married after college is the best thing to do, so you can have everything started in life and you'll be good to go. However, I feel that big moments in your life shouldn't be planned according to the people that surround you. Our lives are far too short to live by others and waste away years that we have during that college time to wait to get married.

In the end, this life is the only one you get. You get to decided on many, many things and I firmly believe that marriage is one of them. Whether that is as soon as you're out of high school, or when you start college, or even ten years after you started your occupation. The happiest day of your life should be decided by you. Not your parents, not your grandparents, not your friends. It's all up to you, and when you're ready for that commitment.

Likewise, if you're someone that has a different goal in mind when to get married, I kindly ask you to not crush your friends on when they are ready for that step in their life. Regardless if they are too young in your eyes because in the end they are them, and you are you. Only you can decide when you're ready, and if that may be now or later, it will always be your choice. That being said, enjoy your special day, I hope that it will be as magical as you have dreamed it would be, and I pray that all things fall calmly into your hands.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
