Being a bridesmaid is hard work, but it is also extremely fun. You get to dress up and look nice and have your hair done up. You feel like a princess when you are finished getting primped.

You also have the job of helping the bride with a million wedding tasks. She will ask you to get her things. She will ask for you to go talk to people for her. Anything she asks you must do.

Then there are pictures. There will be so many pictures you will feel like your face is stuck in a smile, but it's worth it. The bride has pictures arranged already, so all you have to do is get in place and smile.

After pictures is the big moment. You wait for your cue then you walk down the aisle and get in your spot. You have to keep your smile on and try not to fidget. Then, you wait for the beautiful bride to come out. I love the reactions of the audience when they first see her. Then, you wait for the kiss that seals the deal then you walk back up the aisle.

Then, there are a few more pictures. After that you go to the reception. The reception is so much fun because of the dancing a laughter we all share and the food is amazing. Then, the bride and groom takes the floor for their first dance. That moment is so beautiful. Next comes the bridal party dance. In the wedding I was just in, the bride surprised us with a fast song instead of a slow song. It was so much fun and it was exciting! The speeches come nect and the best man and the maid of honor say kind words for the bride and groom and for their new lives together.

I loved being a bridesmaid. It was fun, tiring, and a little stressful all at the same time. However, I wouldn't have traded this chance for anything else in the world!

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.

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.
