20 Thoughts I Had While Shopping For A Bridesmaid's Dress

So many dresses, so little time.

20 Thoughts I Had While Shopping For A Bridesmaid's Dress
Collider

One of my best friends is getting married, which means bridesmaid dress shopping was a must. She decided that as long as the dresses were the same length and color, each bridesmaid could choose whatever style we wanted to wear. This is great because everyone gets to wear what they feel most comfortable in. But it also means we had to go shopping and actually find a dress...which was definitely an adventure.

1. LOOK AT ALL THESE DRESSES. How do I pick one??


2. Why do designers always have fancy names for colors? Our dresses are NAVY but nooo they’re technically “marine”

3. I need a dress with pockets ASAP

4. Of course, the one I like is more expensive than the others.

5. Maybe the clearance rack will have something.

6. Nope, nothing “marine” over there. Darn.

7. Maybe I can start a GoFundMe for my dress.


8. Oh, I did NOT wear the right bra for this occasion.

9. Note to self: sports bras are probably not the best for bridesmaid’s dresses

10. Can someone zip me up?

11. Oh, you can’t get it to zip? That’s great. Terrific.


12. This size fits in a different dress though?? NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE


13. Omg, I think I ripped this dress.

14. This is why I can’t have nice things.

15. Why are there so many mirrors in here? I could do without all these angles of my body.

16. Wow I really should’ve shaved before this

17. I think I found the one!

18. I can’t breathe in it but that’s normal, right?


19. Just remember, this will all be worth it in a few months.

20. Because your best friend is getting married and you love her and would do anything for her. Including not breathing for a night.

Despite all the shopping struggles, I am seriously pumped for this wedding. Being a bridesmaid is an honor, and it is so great to support someone you love on such an important day.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
