Ladies, College Is About Meeting Your Bridesmaids, Not The Groom
Maddie Stallings

This past week, I saw a tweet that read “college is about meeting the bridesmaids, not the groom.”

It hit me because lately, I have just been in this mood of wanting a boyfriend, and trying to search for “the one.”

That tweet kind of gave me a wake-up call, like hey, I am young, I am free, and I should just be having a good time with my girls.

I just finished my freshman year of college. I have made friends and built strong friendships since graduating high school. Some of the girls I am friends with, I could imagine being my bridesmaids. Now, the guys in my life, yikes, definitely no grooms so far.

But that's okay, I am okay with focusing on my girlfriends and just having a good time.

It is prime time in my life, time to be carefree, have girls nights, and make lifelong friends.

Not only have I met some of my best friends in college, but I still have friends from elementary and high school.

I have started to learn how to cherish and depend on my girls because well FRICK BOYS!

There is really no rush to meet your groom in college, there is no need. Chill out and spend time with your girls, because you want your best friends standing by your side when you do finally meet and are marrying your groom.

Your girls should always come first and make sure those friendships are strong. Boys will come and go, especially in college.

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.

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.
