The Bridesmaid Diaries
Mia Simms

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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
