Congratulations, you’ve bought the dress, you’ve walked down the aisle, and you’ve gotten married. Time to party like 99% of the source of stress in your life for the past several months has suddenly been lifted off your shoulders by doves.

I’m sure the after party was killer and the honeymoon was great, but it’s your first day home together and now what?

Maybe you go to brunch. IHOP? Local diner? You order the waffles with extra butter. Your husband orders pancakes with extra syrup. You get in a small fight about which one is better and then make up quickly, but try to civil, people.

After that, you should definitely NOT immediately bug your photographer about the wedding photos. But a bit of light stalking is fine.

You guess you should get a head start on those wedding present thank you cards. You try to remember who gave you what, but end up using vague phrases like “kitchen accessory.”


Now you’ve decided to resell your dress; maybe there were some regrets.

Hooray! It got sold right away.

Now what are you going to do with that dress money? You’ve seen some pretty cute Pomeranian videos on Facebook. Today happens to be Treat Yo Self 2018, so why not.

Oh yeah! You almost forgot you wanted to change your last name.

You get your paperwork together and your ducks in a row. Now, you must wait. First you wait at Social Security…

Then the DMV…

Then you wait at the mailbox for your new driver’s license. You can’t buy alcohol with a temporary!

Now you’re looking for excuses to get out of jury duty because you got summoned after changing your name on your driver’s license.


Time to go back to your job at the office. No need to dress too fancy, at least you still have your wedding manicure working for you.

You get a LOT of congratulations at work. Maybe you should have practiced your modestly pleased smile in the mirror beforehand.

You get home to discover your new Pomeranian has gotten loose.

Now there’s a mess on the laminate floor. Curse that deceptive coat of fluff!


Yay! Your wedding photos came. You decide to make a scrapbook because it’s more personal and it’ll give you an excuse to stare at the photos for a long period of time.


Wow you’ve been busy recently. Don’t forget to get more sleep!

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.
