7 Things You've Said If You're Addicted To Online Shopping
The Telegraph

Online shopping to some is just looking on the internet for things you cannot find in stores. For many others, online shopping is a way of life. Online shoppers are the most resourceful people on the planet. From ordering food to furniture or clothes to cups, online shoppers know how to shop without even leaving their living rooms. Some may see online shopping as an addiction, however, online shoppers, including myself, see this as the future. Like every obsessive group, we have our special lingo. So, here are seven sayings that represent the life of an online shopper.

1. "I'll order it online."

This is your slogan for life. You could be out in public and see something you love but that will not stop you from finding it and ordering online. It is something about the chase from website to website looking for the perfect thing while sitting in bed that gives you a rush!

2. "Is my package here yet?"

Although the website gave you an expected date and time that your package will arrive, nothing will stop you from checking the tracking code and the mailbox every day frantically looking for that unicorn coffee mug that was an impulse buy.

3. "Do I really need this...?"

You make a valiant effort to talk yourself out of buying certain things. Although you may like it, sometimes you have a rational discussion with yourself about your spending. No, you do not need the same shirt in 4 different colors but you will probably convince yourself that you need them anyway... oh well.

4. "I think I have a coupon code for that in my email."

You are constantly checking your email for the new deals. You take extreme couponing and sales to a new level. You scour the internet for coupon codes and websites that offer 20 percent off with an email sign up.

5. "Hopefully, this will fit."

Ordering clothes can be tricky at times. You look at the size chart trying to find a size but then you remember that you do not know how to read a size chart. But that's okay! You just make your best guess and let out a sigh, praying that it will fit.

6. "When did I buy this?"

Sometimes, we order so many things in one sitting that we forget what we buy and then we get a package in the mail that gives us a shock. So, when this happens, do not be alarmed. It was just a surprise present from you to yourself.

7. "I wonder if I can but that online"

The answer is yes... yes you can.


So, to my online shoppers, keep doing what you're doing because that pumpkin costume isn't going to buy itself! Happy shopping!

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.

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.
