Here are my top tips for the most efficient ways to online shopping.

1. Check measurements

Since you cannot try on the clothing items, check the measurements for each size then measure yourself to get the best fit possible. You can often check the models' measurements to see how it would look on you or how long it will be.

2. Check reviews

For clothing items on the site, check the individual reviews. Customers will often leave pictures of themselves in the article of clothing that way you can better imagine how it will fit you. Also, you can look at the comment reviews to see if they recommend to size up or down.

3. Do your research

Only shop on sites you trust because there is less of a chance your order being messed up. If you do not know the site or have never used it before then research it because most of the time you can find review videos or sites telling you other people's experiences with the site.

4. Sign up for rewards programs

Most major clothing companies have rewards systems. All you have to do is simply sign up with your email or phone number. So when you shop you are earning points toward your future purchases. They also tend to send first-time signup bonuses, which is a fun extra bonus.

Hopefully, if you use these tips, it will make your shopping experience as easy and stressful as possible.

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.

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
