22 Things Girls Without The "Bride Gene" Are Thinking During Weddings

Not that I don't respect the whole concept of marriage, but why have a huge stress-filled ceremony? Is it all for the presents?

Weddings. Beautiful occasions full of love and people expressing the innermost feelings about the bride and groom, and it also makes you think about the "one true love" and "happily ever after" waiting for you someday.

Well... maybe not for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I see the merit and the meaning behind marriage and do not see anything wrong with it. It's the huge, extravagant, stress-filled ceremony of it all that I can't wrap my brain around!

The planning, the money spent, and once again, THE STRESS! And it is all for one measly day of your life. And maybe it's just me, but I cannot fathom and comprehend a good reason to put myself through that, and I have never been the type to constantly plan for a wedding.

My future career goals, degrees I want, colleges I want to attend, yes. But I have not been dreaming of and coordinating my wedding since I was 4 years old like other girls. And you know what? That is OK. And if anyone else tells you otherwise, well that's their view and you probably can't change it.

1. There are too many people here I don't know.

2. Why do weddings always start late?

3. Wow... That's a dress! (Can be a compliment or insult)

4. What's up with weddings needing to have flowers all over the place?

5. She spent how much on that dress?!

6. How long have we been sitting here?

7. I wonder if any of the bridesmaids put food in their bouquets in case they get hungry.

8. I'm bored. Would it be rude if I started playing Candy Crush on my phone?

9. How likely is it that at least one person in the wedding party is drunk?

10. Why do we have to clap after they pronounce them man and wife? I almost always use my blinker when driving. Where's my round of applause?

11. Why are people are crying?

12. I hope the reception doesn't suck.

13. Or worse, the food could suck...

14. I hope the bride isn't clumsy. Spilling stuff on that dress would stink.

15. Look at all these presents! All they did was say, "I do." I had to get through a whole week of testing, turning in term papers, taking the GRE, and applying to grad school! Where's MY blender?!

16. What kind of cake is there?

17. Is this an open bar? If not it's OK. I brought my BFF. Flasky.

18. To all the drunk guests busting a move on the dance floor, calm down before you hurt yourself. Or more importantly, me.

19. Apparently, if you are an adult you cannot have chicken nuggets as your entrée.

20. Is the reception over yet? I can hear Whataburger calling my name.

21. Why do women actually try to catch the bouquet?

22. At least one of their boyfriends is probably praying his girl doesn't catch it.

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.

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.

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.
