Everyone knows the struggle of online shopping, its cruel and miraculous all at the same time. It tempts and teases you with all the beautiful fashion and makeup we want but can’t afford, but also lets you buy things with the click of a button. Lets be real we all spend hours looking at our computer or phone screens scrolling through pages of things we don’t need but desperately want. If you’re in a sorority it seems like a necessity to shop for things like recruitment, formal, socials, and of course all things with your Greek letters on them. It’s really not our faults they made it so easy for us to find the things we want.
Online shopping sites like Wanelo, Pinterest, Lulu’s and so many more are all responsible for why my credit card bill is so high. It seems criminal honestly, they post irresistibly cute clothes and shoes that are so close to ours we can almost touch it, but then there’s that dreaded buy button. I’ll never lose my love for actually going to the mall or going to a boutique, but there’s nothing like getting a package in the mail and trying on your new top or shoes, its like Christmas morning. Sometimes it feels like a part time job, spending hours looking through websites searching for the one thing you’ve been looking for is definitely work. Don’t forget they always ask our emails at the actual store so when we get those emails of cyber sales or a new season we have to go look, it’d be rude not to.
I can personally relate to anyone who says they have a shopping addiction; I am a repeat offender with online shopping until my credit card limit is reached. Having so much free time in college is dangerous and scary because it’s like you can watch your bank account dwindle. There are so many aspects that contribute to becoming a broke college student, however online shopping is definitely my top contributor. Besides, no matter how much it hurts my bank account I will always love shopping, online or in stores.
