Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust. That's Peter Pan's fool-proof recipe for flying. It is also what some people think I need to find a guy to go along with this out-of-the-box wedding theme.

"Peter Pan" was my all-time favorite Disney movie when I was little. Every time I saw Wendy, John, and Michael fly to Neverland with Peter and Tinkerbell, I knew I was in for a great adventure. I can say for sure that I "never grew up" from loving that movie, just like Peter Pan taught me to do all those years ago.

So, why wouldn't I use "Peter Pan" as a theme? I already got my Pinterest board. It's not going to be too cartoony. I'll be very whimsical and woodland with "Peter Pan" accents, like centerpieces with inspirations from different places and characters of Neverland, and using important colors that represent the movie in the bridesmaid's dresses and table settings.

My flower girl and ring bearer will be dressed as Wendy and Peter, respectively. However, from planning this big event in my life, I have learned one important thing, besides the fact that I should be a wedding planner.

Go with your heart, even if it goes against what others think.

In life, there will be some people who will disagree with what you want or think. People should realize that, at the end of the day, you must do what is right for you and make decisions based on what makes you happy. I get teased about this wedding theme all the time by family and friends, and it is all-in-good-fun, but it's what I know and what I want. I'm not going to let anyone else change my mind.

If people say to you, "If you don't do this, I won't be friends with you," kick them to the curb because A) They are not your friend if they say that and B) You do not need that kind of negativity in your life. If you are passionate about something, make it a reality.

Don't settle for anything less.

This is what I always say about my theme. I want this theme, and if my future husband wants something different, we will compromise and go with my theme. Also, if any man is interested in this, I'll be taking applications for a future husband soon.

Please search my name on Pinterest if you want to see my theme come to life.

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.
