7 Ways You Know You're A Bargainer

You're the Shopping Queen, the Bargain Hunter, the Deal Stealer, etc. and there's a damn good reason why you earned your name!

1. You head to the sale section as soon as you enter the store

It's a habit. We kind of just brush past all of the pretty displays and new, nicely merchandized product. We don't care, because we know a few treasures are hiding in those messy, misplaced racks!

2. You tell everyone about your bargains (even if they don't ask)

It's a good conversation starter! Nine times out of ten I'll use this excuse to break the silence. Hear crickets while talking to an old friend? Flash them your foot and tell them how your new boots were only twenty dollars at T.J. Maxx!

3. All of your favorite sites are saved on your phone/laptop

Easy access makes online shopping quick and painless! (Well, painless at least. "Quick" and "bargaining" should never be together in the same sentence.)

4. You use all the discounts you can at checkout

You go to your favorite stores with coupons in hand, or to your favorite sites with a few discount codes to try. Or, you leave it up to Honey to do the latter, which is an app downloadable to Google Chrome which automatically plugs in previously used discount codes when at check out. Needless to say, it's a bargainer's best friend.

5. You have great brand knowledge

The good ones, the bad ones, and everything in between - you know them all: their quality, their history, their philosophy - but you especially know if you're getting a good deal on them (or not)!

6. Friends always want to know where you get your steals

It must be at least once a week that I get a text or DM from a friend or stranger asking something along the lines of, "How the heck did you manage to those jeans for twenty dollars, and where can I go to get some myself?" Oh girl, I gotchu.

7. You'd run a marathon three days in a row before buying something full price

Is there need to say more?

See you in the sale section!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
