They say there are three basic necessities that a human needs to survive: Food, Water, and Goodwill. Goodwill is a safe haven for all cheap shopaholics like me. I love the feeling of buying one thousand items and merely breaking a twenty.

For fellow Goodwill obsessed shoppers like me, I praise you for recycling clothing and having a keen and sharp eye for the finer things in life. There is nothing quite like going into Goodwill and finding the deal of a lifetime. I don't know about you all, but I will most likely still shop at Goodwill even if I won the lottery.

Honestly, it's not about shopping...it's about the hunt and the search for the best deals. So for all you Goodwill addicts, please relate to me and my unhealthy obsession.

1. You have frequently gone to your local Goodwill so much that you've memorized the clothes.

There have been times where I would go into my local Goodwill and know what clothes are new, and what ones have been sitting there for a couple weeks. Oops.

2. You have been to two or more Goodwills on a given day.

Sometimes I would be guilty of visiting one city and the next, and I always make it a priority to stop at each city's Goodwill.

3. You donate clothes on separate days just to get multiple "$5 off $20" coupons.

I am not sure if all Goodwills do this, but at the ones near me, you can get Goodwill coupons if you donate (cue me dropping off one box of clothing a day to get the max number of coupons).

4. The employees recognize you.

Yes, I am a regular. No, I am not ashamed.

5. The majority of your closet came from Goodwill.

I just love to show others how little I paid for this gorgeous dress!

6. You feel a special joy when you buy a piece of clothing with the colored tag of the day.

Half off and 99 cent Sundays? Sign me up!

7. You've trained yourself to memorize clothing brands, and you can tell exactly which store a shirt came from.

Xhilaration? Target. Lauren Conrad? Kohl's. Worthington? J.C. Penny's. The list goes on and on.

8. You visit Goodwill at least once a week.

You always got to keep on top of the deals!

9. Your idea of a fun day with friends or a date is thrift shopping at Goodwill.

It's like looking at an antique museum...except you can buy the artifacts!

10. You spend at least an hour or two every time you shop to make sure you have checked every crevice for clothes that you missed, or for clothes that just came out of the back.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
