What Single People Want To Say During Engagement Season

We are ecstatic that you're getting married, honestly! It's really adorable to see how happy you are together and see the amazingly cheesy engagement photos....and then the other 17 that you've decided to post because "they were too cute not to!" We agree, it is very cute, but please we don't need to see you, your significant other and your ring 30 times on our news feed. We don't need to be put through that torture. You were in our shoes once, remember? Last engagement season? Weren't you also complaining about the high volume of rings?

Okay, so you don't remember? Let me jog your memory. Engagement season is that happy time of year that everyone is filled with good cheer and holiday spirit, it's a time that everyone realizes what they're thankful for and who they want to get the most thoughtful gift for. That get's people thinking! Man, I'm willing to spend this much or do this sweet of a thing for someone? I must really like them. Hell, maybe even love them. Maybe...just maybe...I love them enough to marry them AND that could be my Christmas gift!

Do you remember now? Thought so. Don't look at us like that. We're just reminding you what it feels like to be on the other side of the screen. I promise you that we are so, so, SO happy for you! Everyone deserves to have their moments of pure, unadulterated bliss on Facebook and in life, but just remember we can't share in your bliss for every single photo. The first few? Okay, sure, the happy couple is gorgeous! But can you let it rest now and just wait until the next set of photos to rub it in our faces?

....Okay...maybe we are a little jealous. You look deliriously happy and then we forget what it's like to be so happy in love that you want to shout out to the rooftops or share it endlessly on Facebook as if to say "LOOK WHO I CONVINCED TO MARRY ME HAHA." While we're on the other end finding the stupidest reasons to be unhappy for you. We think the ring is ugly. Those photos were too cheesy. The couple is way too young. I've actually seen them fight so much, omg.

We're sorry we put a damper on your engagement photos and posts. We forget what it's like to be excited like that sometimes. Just like you forget what it's like to have to see a couple be much happier than what you think you are at this very moment.

Congratulations. Happy Engagement!

(Please stop reminding us every week with a new photo from your engagement session.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
