30 Thoughts You Have When You're Invited To Your First Wedding
punjabigraphics

As you get older, getting invited to weddings and baby showers becomes inevitable. Once you hit 20, Facebook notifications come in from childhood friends, college acquaintances and relatives. It's bad enough being forever alone but the realization of becoming an actual adult soon follows. Here are 30 thoughts on being invited to your first wedding:

1. OH, MY GOD!!! NO WAY! I can't believe they're getting married!

2. I'm so excited to see everyone! I've always wanted to go to a wedding.

3. Wait, does this mean I have to buy a new dress?

4. Wait, do I have to buy them a wedding present...?

5. Can I get them like a ten dollar thing?

6. I should probably call my mom to figure this out.

7. 100 DOLLARS FOR A GIFT?!?!

8. I didn't even get a new outfit yet.

9. What the hell am I supposed to buy? Like a lamp?

10. Oh god... I'm the only single one going to this.

11. Now, I need to find a date.

12. Where am I going to find someone that I can take to a wedding?

13. I guess I can always bring my best friend.

14. Is it open bar?

15. How drunk can you get at a wedding and it still be socially acceptable?

16. Maybe I'll switch my card onto a different gift.

17. Oh, my date and I can go halfsies... but that still involves me finding someone to bring.

18. Do I have to wear heels? I can barely walk in flats so I don't want to embarrass myself in front of people I don't know that well.

19. Wait, do I go to the church AND party after?

20. Would it be awkward if I went alone?

21. I hope they play good music.

22. Wow, this is getting kind of expensive...

23. Are all weddings going to be this expensive?

24. I definitely don't have money to keep doing this.

25. I'm way too young to be invited to go to a wedding for my friends.

26. Maybe I'm not that young?

27. Wow, I can't believe I'm getting so old.

28. Oh my god, is this going to keep happening?

29. This is so weird. I can't even believe I know people getting married.

30. I can't believe how much of an adult I am.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
