13 Stages Of Being A Bridesmaid As Told By 'Friends' And 'New Girl'
caitlin lewis

Spring of 2017 has been busy for many reasons this year for me, but part of that reason is because I've been asked to stand by the side of, not one, but two beautiful brides this year! But, hey, that's two times I can eat cake and look beautiful right? Win-win.


1. When your best friend asks you to be her maid-of-honor


2. When you get that professional makeup and hair done and have on your dress and just feel magical and like a Disney princess


3. When it's only 2 p.m. & you're not even the bride but you're the one who's stressing out

4. When you have some moments of panic because there's issues with your bridesmaid dress


5. When the bride is on the verge of a mental breakdown but she swears she's good. Yeah, go get her a margarita, stat!

6. Slaying the "Who Know's the Bride Best" game at the bridal shower


7. The Bachelorette party


8. When you're starving but you don't wanna ruin your makeup before pictures...

9. When you see how much everything costs and you gotta start really saving up


10. When you're at the reception and it's time to start dancing

11. Watching the bride opening gifts from you like



12. After months of preparation, and a whole day filled with wedding stuff and the Big Day is over with... it's been real, but your body peaces out before you do.


13. Seeing it all come together just as they dreamed and you see your girl finally get to marry the love of her life #UglyCry

Being a bridesmaid is fun, no doubt, but prepare yourself for all the emotions while you get ready to parttttyyyy!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
