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.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
