If you’re like me, you love to shop. Clothes, jewelry, home décor, anything, really. And if you’re really like me, you like to know that your money is going to more than just some chain store that will inevitably use your money to make more chain stores. The following companies are organizations that you can spend your money at, get amazing products and still end up donating to worthwhile causes.

1. Pura Vida Bracelet Company

I am a representative for this company (I just love it so much) so if you use the code MARISSAUMBLE20, you’ll get 20% off your order!

Don’t let the name fool you- it is way more than just a bracelet company. While it started out selling bracelets that were handmade by artisans in Costa Rica, this company now sells swimsuits, beach towels, accessories and clothing too! Every bracelet that you buy turns a profit for not just the company, but also the artisan in Costa Rica that made it. They also have a charity tab on their website so that you can see just bracelets that donate to charities. Most are unisex- men can wear them too. The bracelets are also super cheap! Check it out here!

2. Toms Shoes

Most people know this company as the company that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need with every purchase of a pair. However, Toms has also partnered with Oceana to donate to save Sea Turtles as well! Check it out here!

3. Ivory Ella

Ivory Ella makes T-Shirts, other clothes and jewelry all printed with an elephant design. 10% of all profits go to Save the Elephants, which is a non-profit organization that does exactly what it says it does- works to save the elephants. Check it out here!

4. The Polar Preserve

The Polar Preserve is much like Ivory Ella. Their products come in fun colors and are printed with Polar Bears on them! A portion of the sale from every t-shirt goes directly to polar bear conservation efforts. It not only preserves the polar bears, but also the climate in which they live. Check it out here!

5. Better World Books

Every time someone purchases a book form Better World Books, a book is donated to someone in need. They even sell textbooks! They are partners with many non-profit organizations, including Books for Africa, National Center for Families Learning, Feed the Children and Room to Read. Check it out here!

6. Project 7

This is a specialty gum and mint company that gives back to the seven areas of need (hence the name Project 7). This company donates to feed the hungry, quench the thirsty, heal the sick, house the homeless, save the earth, teach them well and hope for peace. Products are available through Amazon and Amazon Prime. Check it out here!

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
