Congratulations! You've said I do, and are on your way to planning the wedding of your dreams. It has probably been a roller coaster of emotion, but don't worry the roller coaster continues. Here's an outline of what you can look forward to during the wedding planning process.

1. Excitement

You have a new ring, people are flooding you with congratulations, because guess what you are getting married.

2. Shock

By phase two, reality slaps you in the face. Because you’re getting married. You now realize that you just said I do to spend the rest of your life with someone.

3. Acceptance

The shock has subsided you’ve accepted this wonderful change in your life and you are looking forward to it. What could go wrong?

4. The family starts giving their opinion

Your family loves you and only wants the best. Most of them are excited while others feel the need to tell you that you are indeed ruining your life.

5. The friends

Your friends are probably overjoyed but there’s a few who are probably still stuck at phase two (see shock).

6. Determination to plan! plan! plan!

You’ve done hours of Pinterest research, sacrificed sleep for planning, and now you are ready to throw this whole wedding by yourself no coordinator necessary...

7. Crying

Crying because you realize Pinterest weddings are quite expensive. Planning a wedding might be a little more difficult then you thought.

8. Calling everyone

Now you are enrolling the help of every single person you know. Because planning a wedding all by yourself is not as easy as you thought.

9. Regretting some of the calls

Because the more people involved means the more opinions involved. You never knew how important high ceilings were to grandma. Because low ones are depressing of course.

10. Relax

Don’t let the stress get to you. This is your day and the first step to marrying the love of your life. This is a positive experience, so let it be one!

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
