I've Got A Love/Hate Relationship With Online Shopping But I'll Never Stop

I've Got A Love/Hate Relationship With Online Shopping But I'll Never Stop
Jamie Azulay

I love shopping. I love clothes, and I especially love picking out new outfits. However, I never want to drive to the store. I hate having to try everything on before I buy it, and waiting in line? Forget about it. Online shopping allows me to do something I really enjoy without too much hassle. Sites like Tobi, Shein, and Romwe offer prices lower than anything I could find in the mall. Bargain hunting is a part of who I am, so naturally, I resort to my laptop when I "need" some new clothes. Although I adore the simplicity of online shopping, it still isn't perfect. Nothing is; right?

As I mentioned above, I despise trying clothes on in the store. I find it to be an absolute nuisance having to lock myself into a dark, dingy closet only to strip down and try on outfit after outfit after outfit. I enjoy shopping, but I enjoy quick, easy shopping excursions. I would much rather go into the store quickly, browse a bit, buy what I like, and leave. I would rather try clothes on in my room and put together some cute outfits with clothing items I already own. You can always return what you don't like anyway, and you can avoid the whole process by shopping online. When you shop online, there is never a need to try clothes on before you buy them. This attribute, however, has caused me some problems. Clothes that I order online very rarely fit the way they should. I still do it though.

I still shop online even though the clothes I order rarely fit, and I usually have to wait forever and day to get them. I hate going to the store, and I really dislike having to wait in line to buy clothes. I especially hate having to wait for the things I order online. It's part of the deal that when you order online you have to wait for them to be delivered (unless you pay extra for fast shipping), but I still don't like it.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who has these feelings. I love to online shop, but sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it. Maybe. Maybe not.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
