6 Reasons Why I Love To Go Grocery Shopping
WordPress

As a kid, many of us hate to go grocery shopping with our parents or grandparents. I know I did. The whole idea of just trailing behind my mom as she roamed the various aisles and debated between two products and then ended up not getting them just did not interest me at all. Now, I am the complete opposite and I have turned into my mom. Here are ten things that I love about grocery shopping.

1. Roaming Around

I love just walking around and browsing at everything.

2. Looking At Literally Every Product In The Store.

I could spend hours in a grocery store looking at products and trying to figure what the best ones are, if there are good reviews, or if there are any new products that I want to try. It is ironic how I would through a tantrum if my mom did this when I was little but not I do it.

3. It's a Getaway

Honestly, if I am feeling stressed or bored I go to the grocery store. It is so relaxing and calming to me. My time to just not really think about anything and just get things I need or sometimes things I just want. I never think of going to the grocery store as something I have to do. I want to go. I really enjoy it.

4. Getting To Choose My Foods.

I LOVE having the power and control over getting to choose my own foods and what I buy at the store. I like being able to buy healthy foods and then when I am being bad and buy ice cream I can't get mad at anyone but myself when I feel sick because I ate the whole thing in one sitting. It's great.

5. Getting Good Deals

There is nothing better than getting a good deal and saving money on food and products at a grocery store. Buy one get one free? HELL YEA!

6. It's Something To Do.

Time can go by so quickly when grocery shopping. Trust me I have spent so much more time in a grocery store than I thought until I looked at the time on my phone. Just like that, an hour had gone by so fast.

Grocery shopping can be seen as a chore or as a casual fun experience. You make it what you want.

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.
