Only you will know when the time is right, so only you can decide.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
