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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
