13 Signs You're A Shopaholic

Girls, we all love to shop. Who doesn't? But there's a huge difference between loving to shop and being completely addicted. Here are 13 signs you may be a shopaholic!

1. You can't go into a store without buying something.

Shoes, jeans, a sweater? Regardless of what it is or what you actually came for, you leave with something new to add to your closet.

2. Homework tends to turn into online shopping.

Every time you sit down to get things done, you end up on your favorite store's website with 15 items in your cart. You just can't help it; it's such easy access!

3. You literally cannot close your drawers or your closet.

Your drawers are overflowing, and you can't seem to close the doors to your closet. You basically need another room to store all the clothes you own.

4. Saving money is impossible for you.

Paycheck, birthday money, Christmas money, even babysitting money — all spent on those clothes you have to have.

5. You have your debit card number memorized.

You don't even need it by your side when buying something online because it's completely memorized!

6. Every paycheck is spent almost immediately.

Payday is here and you find yourself already in a store prepared to spend all that hard-earned money. You only work to afford all those clothes anyway!

7. You're haunted by clothes you didn't buy.

You didn't buy that shirt because it was a little too expensive, but now you can't stop thinking about it. You can't get it off your mind or the regret of not buying it.

8. You rarely wear the same thing twice.

Everyone knows you as the girl who would never be caught wearing something twice. Why would you when you basically have your own personal mall in your closet.

9. Getting things you ordered online is like Christmas.

When that package arrives, you can't help but jump with joy. You've been tracking it, stalking the mail man, and now it's here. It's a dream come true.

10. You tend to find things in your closet you forgot you bought and have never worn.

When looking through your closet, you tend to find clothes you completely forgot about, tags still attached.

11. Retail therapy makes everything better.

You find yourself shopping when you're sad, when you're stressed and when you're nervous. It takes all your troubles away! Who needs therapy when there's retail therapy?

12. Free shipping makes your heart skip a beat.

You hit the "check out" button and "free shipping" shines across the screen. You can't help but smile as butterflies fill your stomach.

13. The employees at your favorite stores know you by your first name.

You walk into the store and they aren't surprised to see you. You're a regular at the mall. You basically live there!

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.
