Do You Really Need To Go Shopping?

As a college student we face the constant struggle known as money. We are always debating whether or not we want to spend the $5 on the pizza, or if we really need that shirt for a club we are in. Then you have the nights where you aren't really in a state of mind to make proper decisions, and the next morning you look at your credit card statement to see you spent $30 at Papa Johns. How did that happen?? But, the BIGGEST struggle is not shopping at all of your favorite stores. Sometimes those deals are too good to pass up, so you have to ask yourself these simple questions.


1. Is it under $20 dollars?

It might not be under $20, but its normally $100 so if you think about it, it is really a pretty good deal!

2. Is it even your size?

Sometimes you fall in love with a shirt but its 3 sizes too big, oversized is totally in this year!

3. Will you wear it?

If I had it I bet I would wear it all the time!

4. What will you wear with it?

Hmm, true, I should probably look for something that matches it.


5. Would you buy it if it was over $20?

Well it's under $20 so we don't have to worry about it.


Ok, so maybe those questions don't really help. Everybody loves a good deal, and everybody loves some cute clothes. We only live once so might as well buy that cute pair of leggings. Unless you're leaving to study abroad in 40 days like me, then you better find a talent and start performing on the streets.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
