The Stages Of Online Shopping, Described By "Parks And Rec"
Giphy

Online shopping is quite possibly one of the greatest technological developments of the modern world. The browsing, the wishlist creating, the shipping calculations, what could be better? No television cast can describe the ups and downs of the virtual shop better than the iconic cast of "Parks and Recreation".

1. Remembering you need clothes but have no desire to go to the mall.

via GIPHY

The mall is always crowded, loud, and smells like pretzels. There's always a threat of running into someone you know, or feet blistering from walking around. Don't worry: there is an alternative to the pain that comes from in-person shopping (Hint: You can use your computer).

2. Realizing you don't need to leave your house to shop.

via GIPHY

All you need to is a computer and a wifi connection, and you can do all your shopping in the comfort of your own room!

3. Adding everything you see into your cart.

via GIPHY

It feels a lot less consequential to add all the clothes you like into a virtual cart rather than a real one. Besides, you deserve it. In the immortal words of Tom Haverford, "Treat yourself"!

4. Looking at the final cost.

via GIPHY

All those half-off shirts add up pretty quickly. If you're not doing the math throughout the browsing, the final sum can be pretty upsetting.

5. Finding an online coupon and saving 10%.

via GIPHY

It feels good to beat the system through Groupon. You could never save like that in store.

6. Reading that it'll take 6-8 business days to arrive.

via GIPHY

The largest downside to online shopping: the unfortunate wait time. It'll prove to be the longest 6-8 days of your life.

7. Opening up your package when it finally arrives.

via GIPHY

The wait is over! It's like a present you sent to yourself!

8. Trying everything on and seeing how great you look.

via GIPHY

New clothes=instant confidence boost. You're killing it in that 10% off outfit!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
