Shopping made fun!

An Inside look on the Wish App

The Wish App is now one of the most downloaded Apps on the market. This savvy shopper app connects mobile users to the Wish website, where you can buy technology, clothing, make up, and shoes. If you can name it, you can sure find a cheap knock off on the Wish App. From a personal experience, I have not had any troubles with purchasing from this App. My most recent purchase includes 10 Colourpop Lip kits, all for 89 cents a piece with a dollar shipping. I mean, I couldn't help myself. Just like everything else that is too good to be true, there's always a catch. Here is guide to get the best deals from wish with out getting burned.

The biggest gripe about Wish is the extremely long shipping. Shipping ranges from 11 to 22 days depending on the item. I ordered my Colourpop on November 11th and it is expected to arrive December 9th. Luckily, shipping is really cheap. Your orders are being shipped straight from China and most items shipping cost is a dollar. That is also the reason for the extremely long shipping time. That's pretty impressive. You can keep track of your shipping and estimated arrival time from your cart. Make sure to check the shipping before purchasing, especially on larger items! Honestly, I forget about my items before they even arrive and it's like mini Christmas for yourself when you check the mail.

I know in the past ordering clothing and other items through cheap apps have been considered taboo. That is still the case when it comes to the Wish app. The best way to not get burned is to completely bypass the product photos and go straight to customer reviews. The reviews offer great insight on the product and is the safest way to go. Here customers upload actual photos of the products they receive and comment on the quality. You can also read the store rating to see how the overall company treats their orders. This is the best way to know how small a shirt runs or if it's even worth purchasing.

If you are not in a hurry to receive your items and do not mind some investigating work before purchasing this is the app for you. Wish claims to make shopping fun and for me it has. Of course I'm not going to re-do my whole wardrobe off this app but it's fun to see the cheap items they have to offer. Did I really need these cool cat coasters for my coffee table? No, but for a dollar, damn right I do.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
