I Planned My Future 'Peter Pan' Inspired Wedding, And This Is What It Taught Me

Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust. That's Peter Pan's fool-proof recipe for flying. It is also what some people think I need to find a guy to go along with this out-of-the-box wedding theme.

"Peter Pan" was my all-time favorite Disney movie when I was little. Every time I saw Wendy, John, and Michael fly to Neverland with Peter and Tinkerbell, I knew I was in for a great adventure. I can say for sure that I "never grew up" from loving that movie, just like Peter Pan taught me to do all those years ago.

So, why wouldn't I use "Peter Pan" as a theme? I already got my Pinterest board. It's not going to be too cartoony. I'll be very whimsical and woodland with "Peter Pan" accents, like centerpieces with inspirations from different places and characters of Neverland, and using important colors that represent the movie in the bridesmaid's dresses and table settings.

My flower girl and ring bearer will be dressed as Wendy and Peter, respectively. However, from planning this big event in my life, I have learned one important thing, besides the fact that I should be a wedding planner.

Go with your heart, even if it goes against what others think.

In life, there will be some people who will disagree with what you want or think. People should realize that, at the end of the day, you must do what is right for you and make decisions based on what makes you happy. I get teased about this wedding theme all the time by family and friends, and it is all-in-good-fun, but it's what I know and what I want. I'm not going to let anyone else change my mind.

If people say to you, "If you don't do this, I won't be friends with you," kick them to the curb because A) They are not your friend if they say that and B) You do not need that kind of negativity in your life. If you are passionate about something, make it a reality.

Don't settle for anything less.

This is what I always say about my theme. I want this theme, and if my future husband wants something different, we will compromise and go with my theme. Also, if any man is interested in this, I'll be taking applications for a future husband soon.

Please search my name on Pinterest if you want to see my theme come to life.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
