10 Inevitable Signs You're Addicted To Online Shopping

Hi My Name is ____ and I'm a Shopaholic.

10 Inevitable Signs You're Addicted To Online Shopping

There are two types of people in this world: those who need instant gratification from retail therapy and us online shoppers that live for the thrill of checking the mail and or our front doors for 3-7 business days.

Online shopping is the closest thing to an addiction that I know, and yes I've seen Confessions of a Shopaholic and I'm considering attending SA (shopaholics anonymous) meetings.

But seriously no other thrill compares to filling up that online shopping cart and waiting for its arrival. Every online shopper knows that when a package does arrive it's like Christmas morning every random day of the week.

An online shopper's anonymous class might be needed if you love the following,

1. The hunt

We scroll through all 64 pages of the "tops" section of the website just to make sure we weighed out all of our options

2. The overflowing cart

A cart filled with items costing $500+ that you know you can't afford.. A girl candream right?

3. The elimination process

Do I really need this crop top in black, white, and red? probably not. So you take that dream cart from $500 to something way more reasonable.

4. Go back one more time

Yes no that I secured my favorite items in my cart we will check the 'New Arrivals' section of the website every single day for a week just to make sure I'm getting the good stuff..

5. Eliminate 2.0

Now that you've waited a week some items have probably gone out of stock/your cart is probably in need of some eliminating once again.

6. Make a decision

Now that you've finally made a solid cart up its time to proceed to payment. Seriously the thrill of typing in that credit card information will never get old. Even though you have the expiration date and code on the back committed to memory...

7. Finalize that order girl

Oh wow clicking that button to finalize that order is truly magical, because before you know it major swag will be on your doorstep.

8. Now we wait

Yes, we actually sit by the front door and wait to see the mail lady reach into the mailbox or that truck to get up the drive way. The view from the front door is essential for us online shoppers.

9. Track that ish daily

Oh you better believe we track our packages daily. The waiting process is painful but at least when we see the sweet words 'Out for delivery' we know it's game time.

10. The arrival

Ripping open a box to a gift you bought for yourself is honestly spiritual.



The process of shopping online is ridiculous now that I'm writing this but I will stay loyal to the grind. Mall shopping is overrated *hair flip*

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
