15 Things Everyone Who's Obsessed With Online Shopping Understands

It's easy to get hooked on shopping online. It's easy, convenient, usually involves some really great sales. Of course, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Every serial shopper knows these feelings all too well.

1. When your favorite site has a sale.

Now's the perfect time to search your wish list and finally get all that stuff you want!

2. Or better yet, free shipping!

Is there any better incentive to shop online than free shipping?

3. When you try to convince yourself that buying three things to get a deal is better than just buying one.

But what if I need more of it?

4. When you click on an item and it says "shipping not available."


You expect me to go to the store and buy this?!

5. Or worse, it's out of stock!


Followed by frantic emails to costumer service asking when it'll be back.

6. When you start rationalizing putting that thing in your cart. You know which one.

You definitely don't need it. Or do you?

7. When you start out looking for one specific thing but end up browsing the entire site.

If you're order stuff anyway, you might as well see if there's anything else you need!

8. Making trips to the post office is part of your daily routine.

You're on a first-name basis with your mailman.

9. You end up having to justify all the things that end up in your cart.

"I really do need more clothes, and stuff for my room, and phone cases, and..."

10. That moment of glee when you finally place your order...

A lot has led up to this moment!

11. Tracking your package every day so you know when it arrives.

You have to be prepared!

12. When something in your order doesn't fit or doesn't work...

Because returns are the worst.

13. When your friends insist you have a problem.

They just don't understand!

14. When you check your bank statement...

Maybe you should take a break!

15. But you know that even if you stop for a while, you'll be back online soon enough!

You deserve to send yourself a present!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
