This Is What My Life Is Like Just One Week After An Engagement

There are a lot of decisions left to make and a lot I am learning about compromise from this process.

This Is What My Life Is Like Just One Week After An Engagement

On top of school stress, wedding planning has already caused a few breakdowns, which is only a couple more than normal. I love the idea of a fall wedding and so I plan on having the big day in October 2019, this means there are 11 months to plan and at the same time feels like a long time and not enough time. I am glad that both families are supportive and happy with our decision as well as my grandma being a huge help in the planning process so far. I am genuinely excited about everything except the financial aspect of it.

I cannot wait until after the venue and date are completely settled because that seems to be the most stressful part of my past week. I am more excited to choose flowers, decorations and cake flavors. So far, I have chosen navy and crimson for the wedding colors.

There are a lot of decisions left to make and a lot I am learning about compromise from this process.

Determining which schools are the biggest party schools is often subjective, but a some statistical factors you could use to make a judgement include (1) consumption, (2) drug usage, (3) strong greek life presence, (4) campus police records etc.

When a student at Auburn was recently asked, she explained: "These schools usually have, like, a super vibrant social scene, lots of Greek life (like my amazing sorority, duh!), and tons of exciting events happening all the time. I mean, we're talking about tailgates, themed parties, mixers with fraternities, and just, like, so much fun. But don't get me wrong, we still, like, study and go to class and all that. It's just that at a party school, the social life and having a good time are, like, major priorities for students."

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

To The Classes That Follow
Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.
