7 Reasons Shopping Is Not Fun And Never Will Be

Let's face be honest, those 'people' who say "I Love Shopping" are great people who lie. The only positive of shopping is that it makes you exhausted and forces you to take a nap when you get home.

7 Reasons Shopping Is Not Fun And Never Will Be

1. You have to try on everything

Unless it's summer, taking off all your layers is the worst part. If you buy it without trying it on, when you get home you realize it doesn't fit. But if you try it on before you buy it, it still doesn't fit and you have to try on another size and then another size and another one. Then you have to put all your layers back on. It's like cardio and no one likes cardio.


2. You can't find what you're looking for

Face it, no matter how many stores you go to you won't find the outfit you saw on Pinterest. Pinterest isn't reality.


3. You're a different size at every store

Once you find the perfect outfit, the sizing really knows how to screw you over. H&M does that whole European sizing and then you go to an American store and you're either smaller or bigger than you originally thought. Why can't we get a consistency going on?


4. Going with a friend is like a quick visit to Hell

Shopping with friends is never fun. There is always that one friend who swears she doesn't like or need anything from the store and just as you're about to leave the store she finds something she likes and you have to do the whole process over again.


5. There is always a line

Fitting room line or register line, there is always a line. The worst part is, while you're waiting, you will always see triple a number of employees walking around when only two are at the register and it's like an explosion inside your head.


6. Nothing is cheap

You walk into the store wanting a simple sweater and jeans and you find out the total is $60, but you buy it anyway. Do you know how many beers you can get with that plus a cheeseburger? Let's start making smarter decisions people.


7. You leave with an empty wallet

Congratulations, you've managed to spend the money you never really had.

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.
