As someone who is cautious with my money, it is extremely difficult for me to justify spending a lot of money on a new shirt. But I really love new clothes. I want to be stylish. I want to be cool. So here are a few of my favorite places to buy used clothes so I can look fashionable but not hate myself for spending $70 on a pair of jeans.

1. Poshmark

This is by far my favorite place to find cheap clothes online. You can buy used clothes from people for way less than their original price. I usually bid down a lot less than the price people ask for originally as well because shipping isn’t included in their posted price, and my bid almost always gets accepted by the seller. But my favorite part of using the website is when the sellers include thank-you cards or wrap your clothes in a cute way. It’s like getting a Christmas gift in the mail which is hard for anyone not to love.

2. Thred-Up

-There are plenty of great brands on this website, and the first time using it you can get free shipping on your order. It can be difficult sometimes to find something I really like, but I like just checking up on the app when I am in the mood for some new clothes. And unlike Poshmark, you do not buy clothes from the individual sellers so the packaging is consistent and always very cute.

3. Yard Sales

-Some people hate yard sales because they think all they ever find is junk, but that’s usually because they don’t know how to go to yard sales. A couple of my favorite shirts have come from yard sales. And you cannot find clothes cheaper than you can at a yard sale. My recommendation for buying clothes at yard sales is to really look, and to go to a lot of yard sales at the beginning of a yard sale weekend because that is when you will find the best things in general and also, you are not guaranteed to find something you really love at every yard sale, so you need to be committed.

4. Thrift Stores/Plato’s Closet

-Depending on what you are looking for will really determine where you might want to shop for your clothes. Plato’s Closet is going to have the more popular and expensive brands you might be looking for and just a wider selection of things you might want to buy. Thrift stores are typically cheaper, but you might have to look a little harder to find something you want.

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.

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.
