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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
