An Ode To Five Below

Thank you for being the true MVP; my wallet appreciates it.

An Ode To Five Below

Some people call you a glorified dollar store, but they are so wrong. You are so much more than a glorified dollar store to me. This store was basically made for students in college. There is just about everything that we could need here. Every time I shop here, I almost never leave the store empty handed.

I'm not going to lie, a lot of the things in my room right now are from you. You are definitely a hidden gem to those who have never heard of you before. If I know that I'm going to need some organizational items, you are the first place I think of going to. Since everything is reasonably priced at five or below, you're a perfect stop for the broke college student in need of some over-the-door hooks or storage bins. Thank you for always being one step ahead of my thoughts and helping me organize my life.

Don't even get me started on the tech area! Screen protectors and cases for days for just about every device out there from smartphones to tablets. Chargers galore! Although the chargers aren't the best all the time, they serve their purpose for the time being. I can always count on you for having the coolest looking accessories for my iPhone. Thank you for having six feet chargers so I can sit comfortably in my bed and binge watch Netflix off of my phone.

To avoid the "Freshman 15" (or to work it off) you have a great assortment of fitness items conveniently priced with the college students wallet in mind. If I don't want to go to the gym, I can simply purchase some weights and a foam roller and I am good to go. Thank you for allowing me to achieve zen in my room on my reasonably priced yoga mat.

You are definitely the place I hit up before I have a movie night with my friends. Everyone can get their favorite candy (and even their second favorite) without breaking the bank. Thank you for not judging me when I buy more candy than I probably should be buying.

Although college students don't typically need a lot of physical school supplies besides their laptop, I always rely on you to supply me with items to refill my desk with. Pens for note-taking an paper to take the notes on. Crayons and markers for all of those adult coloring books and even tape to put up my masterpieces! Thank you for allowing me to express my creativity in an inexpensive way.

You are really the best thing that has ever happened for some college students. You never cease to amaze me with your ways of getting me to spend my money there. You're just amazing in every-way possible and I'm so grateful for you.

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.

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.
