To My Bridesmaids,

Thank you. That's all I can really say. Thank you for agreeing to stand by me as I take this leap. A leap so big that my life will never be the same. Thank you for always being there through the countless tears and laughs over the years. I hand-picked the seven of you because in so many ways you have each touched my heart unlike anyone else. I couldn't pick seven more diverse, intelligent and beautiful girls, even if I tried.

Thank you for agreeing to try on countless dresses until we find the perfect one. For agreeing to spend money on a dress that hopefully you wear more than once. For choosing to put up with me for the next year as I run around like a chicken with its head cut off as I try to plan this wedding while going to school and scoring my first big girl job.

From the moment we were in middle school and became friends, I knew that I wanted you by my side as I get married. I know that we might not be as close as we once were but I know that you will always be there for me no matter what. Throughout the years, you have always been there through the ups and downs of life. I promise to try and make the next year as painless as possible for you all and I promise to not have you wear a dress you don't like.

Thank you in advance for all the wedding events and showers and parties you will have to attend in the next year. I know that I haven't always had time for our friendship and I know that sometimes I really fail as a friend but I hope that this next year changes so much. I hope that as you help to lead me down the aisle that our friendship never weakens.

I could never thank you girls enough for the hell that you are about to endure this next year but I couldn't pick better girls, even if I tried. Forever friends and sisters 'til the end. I cannot wait until we are sipping on mimosas the morning of my wedding, for in that moment nothing else will matter other than the amazing young women that I will be surrounded by as we try to squeeze my ass into a wedding dress.

Thank you for everything.

Love, The Bride

P.S.- Please no penis shaped stuff at the bachelorette party, that shit is just weird.

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.
