Shopping for clothes is hard. You're on a limited budget, with limited time to look.

You're regretting the lunch you ate earlier as you try to wiggle yourself into some skinny jeans (but you deserved that lunch, I promise). Insecurity runs rampant as you look at the mirror in the fluorescent lit room, or, even worse, when you have to walk outside the dressing room to show your friends.

There are good times and bad, successes and failures, and many gifs and photos that every girl can relate to of the ordeal.

1. Is my acne really that bad?

Let me tell you, pimples and horribly lit rooms do not get along. I swear that I can spot, pun intended, every single little red dot and blackhead on my face.

2. Is that a beard?

The peach fuzz is very real. I wish I had brought a pair of tweezers with me.

3. I need to blend my makeup better.

I might as well just bring my makeup to the dressing room or else I'm going to be walking around looking like a Donald Trump clown.

4. My heart says Yes but my wallet says No.

True story: "Sarah this purse totally fits your style *checks price* on second thought this isn't the one."

5. How bad are these deodorant marks?

Real Life Horror Story: when you're taking off a dark shirt and you discover all the deodorant marks that are left behind.

6. This looks so much better on the mannequin.

And sometimes it looks so much better on you and you wonder why you aren't a model.

7. Thick thighs call for a bigger size.

One moment I could be praising my thighs for having the power to crush a watermelon, and the next I could be hating them as I reluctantly choose a bigger pant size because my thighs just won't quit it

8. When am I ever going to wear this?

I'll always find this perfect dress with one minor flaw: I am never going to wear it.

9. Do I want the small or the medium?

I could opt for the shirt that fits me better, or I could get the bigger size and go for that cozy look.

10. I hope they don't think I'm stealing.

Sometimes I tell them I have 5 items when I actually have 6, and I'm paranoid everyone thinks I'm stealing.

11. Yes, I am in here.

There's nothing more terrifying than a worker trying to open the door to see if someone's in there.

12. Why did anybody design this?

I can't stand criss-crossed straps. There, I said it.

13. The frizz is 100.

As someone with curly hair, constantly taking off and putting on shirts multiplies my frizz by 2000%, and the lighting always manages to show every little stray hair.

14. There's only so many times I can take off my pants.

Three things about pants when it comes to trying on clothes: How many more times do I have to take off my pants? Can I leave my pants unbuttoned? and Where do I leave my pants?

15. Why didn't I shave?

I could walk out of the room to show my friends' these cute pairs of shorts, or I could just pretend they didn't fit and get them later.

16. "I'm going to try this on to be funny."

Whenever I am with friends, I always make a beeline for the ugliest clothes... only to seemingly look the best in the fuzzy, pink sweater vest from 2004.

17. Do I want this shirt in teal or black?

Most of the time I just end up buying both colors anyway.

18. Mirror selfie time to show my friends.

How do you pose for a mirror selfie? Do I cover my face? Do I not?

19. What size am I even?


When you're a woman and have to shop for jeans, you might as well give up on the idea of sizes.

20. I love this.

There should always be times where you try on an outfit and think "Damn, I would date me." We all deserve that moment.

21. AND it doesn't have pockets.

You find them. You find the perfect pair of jeans that hug your legs in all the right places, and when you try to put your phone in the pocket, you're met with the pain and agony of the fake pocket phenomenon.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
