Two summers, one bachelorette party, and I ended up being the one who packed the snacks

went to my best friend's bachelorette last weekend. The last one was summer 2023, and I spent most of it volunteering to hold everyone's phones during photos so I didn't have to be in them.

This time I was still the phone-holder, but mostly because I'm cheap and didn't want sand in my pockets. Down 55 lb since that first party, no big gym saga — just dorm microwave chicken, tuna packets, Greek yogurt, and walking campus loops between classes.

At brunch I got the veggie omelet and stole exactly two fries off my friend's plate, so clearly I'm a wellness influencer now. The strange bit is the side-by-side still looks like two different people, and my brain hasn't updated.

Anyone else have an event or photo that made the change feel real before your mirror caught up?
