Being My Bridesmaid Will Mean More Than Just Standing By Me At The Alter

In This Article:

Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm a Pinterest-freak and could spend all day on there trying to plan my life.

My wedding day is something that I am very excited for and explore a lot on Pinterest. (Don't worry Mom and Dad, I'm aware that I have many years to go until then). I am so excited to get married and have a family one day, and it's a goal I think about when I'm having trouble finding the motivation to study and be productive, my future is very important to me.

As fun as it is to look at bridesmaid's dresses and plan invitations, the most crucial decision to make is who those people will be. I know some people in my life right now who I'm positive will still be a great friend down the road and possibly even bridesmaids, you know who you are. There are probably some future bridesmaids who I haven't even met yet, which is crazy to think about. I'm still very young so there are a lot more people I am going to meet until then!

So, for you, future bridesmaids, I'm going to need A LOT of help and support during this times. I do not know for sure, but I'm assuming that around the time of my wedding I will obviously be very excited, but probably very nervous as well. This is a HUGE life milestone and one that will forever change my life.

As my close friends know, and my future bridesmaids will know, I can get a little anxious sometimes...to say the least. My anxiety will most likely be very heightened at this time! I'm going to need you guys to keep me grounded. Help me breathe when I'm freaking out about every little thing, like what centerpiece and what side dish to pick. You guys have to help keep me sane during this crazy time.

By this time you will definitely approve of my future husband, because why would I marry a guy without my girlfriends' approval? You guys sometimes know me better than I know myself. Make sure I don't marry some jerk if I'm blinded by my feelings.

Please put up with my craziness during this chapter of my life! This is such a big decision and I will probably lose my marbles a couple times. I will probably be very overwhelmed, but I'm positive you guys will get me through it - I chose you for a reason.

Most importantly, I want you to know that no matter what you will always be my people. Yes, I will have a husband, but I still will need my other best friends. I will need God-mothers for my kids, and someone to call when I need advice or just a laugh when my kids are driving me nuts!

Thank you for getting me through this, I couldn't do it without you. Please don't ever leave my side, I promise I will never leave yours.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
