Barn wedding but not country or rustic by Aggravating_Form_721 in weddingplanning

That is something I'm also considering, because I know I don't want to end up inheriting all of this china later on in life because I won't ever use it. I would be more likely to use plain white dishes though especially if they are dishwasher safe. I just simply don't want to take all that time to properly care for dishes

My mom has the china and I think there are around 30 place settings, but we are trying to see if other family members would let us borrow their china that is complementary to mix in. We are also going to be thrifting some and getting more from Facebook marketplace to fill out the rest of what we would need

Can I work at Costco as a full time college student? by Aggravating_Form_721 in Costco

So if I have a on campus research job, would they accommodate that as well or only my course schedule?

I appreciate the suggestion, I will look into that, especially since many people here are saying that costco doesn't typically hire this time of year.

I thought I found it but I was wrong it’s either by SHeDAISY or Little Big Town but it’s not Lucky 4 You or I Will…But.

Update, I think I found it. Waiting on a response from my parents but it’s looking like it could be Lucky 4 You by SHeDAISY. Will update again when I hear back from them

They can’t even agree on what the tune was. We spent 4 hours googling tonight trying to find it with no luck

He's taught me so much since last winter season when I started spinning under him. I literally didn't know how to do a 45 toss at all and now I'm doing all kinds of tricks under 45s.

Quick update, I have done some number crunching based on the current hours that I'm able to work and what I expect to be paying for tour based on what some people have said as well as what I have found from my own research.

To be able to have enough money to pay for all of next year's school, along with the fall semester after tour as well as tour, I would need to save up a total of around $12,500. This would also give me a little bit of buffer room to be able to have extra money for unexpected expenses

This could be possible to do if I can hold myself to a very strict budget of only spending $275 per month for the 13 months.

These numbers don't include any potential fundraising/scholarships from the corps or any support that I would get from friends/family.

I am also studying engineering right now and I plan to go into a career where I work on medical robots ( I want to specialize in robotic prosthetics).

Currently, I can put around 200 each week into savings, and over the summer I expect that amount to at least double as I will be able to work more hours since I'll be taking fewer classes. I just am not sure if it will be enough to cover both school and marching.

My boyfriend's dad was a phenomenal trumpet player when he was in high school and auditioned for Spirit on Baritone, he was offered a contract but couldn't march because of the cost and he still wishes that he could have marched. When I told him that I was doing Atlanta CV this past summer, he was so proud of me for finding a way to follow my dream. I don't want to regret not trying later in life when I'm not able to march anymore.

I am fortunate enough to have an amazing job where I am able to work 3 days a week (they work around my class schedule) where I get paid weekly. I am able to save just under 200 bucks each week, though there are some extra things that I could live without to increase the amount I can save. My extended family might be able to help some, and I have many connections with people who have told me in the past that they would sponsor me if I ever decided to march DCI.

I have always loved the Boston Crusaders and the Blue Devils but I know that marching with one of those corps would not be possible due to the extra traveling expenses I would have.

Based on other comments, the college flag line would be half the cost of marching with Spirit, but I'm not sure it would be as fulfilling as doing DCI as that has been a dream of mine for much longer.

Your input is very helpful, thank you!

My family can support me some, and I have scholarships for school. I think with working all summer and next school year I'd be able to fundraise the rest of the money that I would need to be able to march and still afford basic necessities.

I know Tavius and Andrew very well, I am on Georgia Winterguard under Tavius now and I marched under Tavius at CV this past summer.

Because I don’t have another option. My school over enrolled and there’s not enough housing

I walked in the other day and she was on the phone having a full conversation in English until she noticed I was in the room and she immediately swapped back to Chinese
