The Search For A Perfect Wedding Date

Hey Everyone,

For those who do not already know me, my name is Kendall Sharp. I’m 21 years old, stand 5 feet 9 inches tall, always smiling, talk too much and sometimes can be a lot to handle. Those who’ve fought through my awkwardness and ear damaging karaoke, swear I am the loyal friend everyone wishes they had.

My family, on the other hand, is a bunch of nutcases, like me. I have fifteen first cousins from one side of my family, and we are all best friends. We are together so often that we tend to do things as a group. Just like tweens and belly button rings, one cousin’s engagement initiated a sudden chain reaction of the Ahrweiler Family Grandchildren getting engaged.

The cousins put much thought into the timing of their engagements. They concluded that a cousin can propose to their fiance, but only if their wedding transpires after my 21st birthday.

I was elated. My cousins were waiting long periods of time in anticipation of my birthday. One of my cousins waited six years to be engaged. I vowed to be the life of each family wedding that comes my way. This obligation brings great joy and equal pressure. This responsibility is therefore expected of my wedding dates.

Attention qualifiable bachelors of Iowa State University; better yet, any guy looking for a great night with a girl like me. The fifth family wedding is on July 15th and I need a date. I have eighteen days to find a guy to bring to my cousin’s wedding.

To be my wedding date you should encompass the following attributes:

  • Good sense of style
  • Social with entire family regardless of my absence
  • Dance skills worthy of clearing a dance floor
  • Know every word to 1985 by Bowling for Soup
  • Carry a drink in each hand at all times
  • Notify me when the midnight snacks are brought out. I always miss those
  • Easy on the eyes
  • Keep track of my id and debit card. This is a challenge, they are lost far too often
  • No puking or falling asleep outside or making me babysit you
  • Not in a relationship
  • No children
  • No criminal record
  • 20-25 years old

What’s in it for you:

  • Free meals
  • Open Bar
  • Free trip to Lake Geneva for a weekend
  • Dancing for three hours = HELLA EXERCISE
  • Picture for Instagram that’s bound to give win you more followers
  • Open Bar

If you are interested in going on this adventure, submit a short explanation as to why you should be my wedding date to my personal email: sharpk516@gmail.com No more than ten sentences and please make me laugh. The more sarcasm the better.

Good Luck!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
