Online shopping is a true addiction. It’s the best way to stay inside all day and not sacrifice a good, healthy day of retail therapy. Online shopping is a passion and an art. You hunt down all the best sales and resort to Amazon for practically everything. There’s an excitement that comes with receiving a package in the mail every day and you wouldn’t give up this addiction for anything, especially if you had to leave your apartment and shop the normal way.

1. Most of your emails consist of promotions.

    These emails definitely help you find sales faster but they completely add fuel to the shopping flame. If you’re casually scrolling through your emails, there is no way you won’t get distracted by seeing that 20 percent off discount from your favorite brand. You’ll click out of your inbox and start scrolling through the sale section.

    2. FREE SHIPPING! FREE SHIPPING! FREE SHIPPING!

    If you were ever contemplating placing that order, this promotion just sold you. Free shipping makes you teary at the eyes and is hands down the best deal you can ask for.

    3. You love not having to get dressed to go shopping.


    You can stay in your pajamas all day and scroll. No need to worry about putting on makeup or curling your hair. You can simply roll out of bed, grab your laptop and your wallet and shop until you drop.

    4. Instead of buying something in stores you’ll order it online.

    Yes, your favorite eyeshadow is in stock at Sephora but there’s no reason to worry about human interaction for the day because you can easily order it online.

    5. You’re willing to sacrifice your school work for some online shopping.

    You basically have a doctorate degree in online shopping and that’s the highest form of education you could possibly need. Every now and then it’s OK to take a break from your studies and focus on your real academics — the sale's section drop-down link.

    6. There’s no need to stress about buying gifts.

    Everyone is impressed by how you managed to buy the coolest gifts at the best prices. It’s easy to say that after spending countless hours surfing the web, finding the coolest online shops and the best deals. You’re easily the best gift giver during the holiday season.

    7. Your bank account suffers.

    It’s easy to spend but it’s not easy to deal with the repercussions of your spending. Your heart sinks when you get that notification that you account is below balance. Surprisingly, that scares you for only a second and then you're back to your online shopping spree.

    8. Cyber Monday is better than any holiday you’ve ever celebrated.

    There're so many deals that it becomes overwhelming. You know that this is the perfect time to strike. You’ll treat yourself to that $100 coat that was marked down by 75 percent. On this sacred holiday, there’s nothing stopping you.

    In the end, your excessive online shopping may actually be worth it. You have the opportunity to save more money than regular in-store shopping. You might even find some amazing items that aren't even sold in stores.

    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.

    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.
