Ordering from Vistaprint

Do you find that you are seeking professionally done business cards? Do you need corporate stationery? Or maybe you just want to have some nice printouts of your super attractive face on a fridge magnet or 3 year calendar. Well then, Vistaprint’s definitely got you covered.

A few days ago, I suddenly found myself in the need of some business cards, and, as is the norm nowadays, decided to order some from a website. However, I didn’t really know what to use, not having much experience printing from an online retailer. I found some really shifty sites (that I did not feel comfortable even inserting a gift card number into) all the way to stunningly beautiful sites, like Moo, that I couldn’t hope to afford but still ordered a free set of business card options (from square to rounded corners to luxe ultra-thick) that turned out totally awesome. But, if you’re looking somewhere in between (i.e., you actually want them to arrive but you have a budget because you don’t want to throw money away, even if you are lusting after cards that are a whopping 32 points thick.

I have definitely found that Vistaprint fits this need. I was able to order 100 business cards from the site, quick and easy. Just upload your predesigned PDF, or, if you like, you can design your own from templates, right on the site itself. There are a ton of options, from minimal to businesslike to casual to fun and flirty. And there are multiple options to fit right into any given profession. If you want to design it yourself, there’s a helpful guide to set up bleed marks (so that your images don’t get cropped on the edge) and make sure that your dimensions are correct and ready to go for printing.

I found myself riveted, tracking the package online obsessively, waiting for them to arrive (I had previously ordered a portfolio book from Blurb, and was super excited to see how it came out). So when I finally got the notification that it had arrived, I was ecstatic. Not only had my cards arrived early (a whole two days before they were anticipated), I also received extra cards, more than double the amount that I requested! I was excited, and hey turned out great. I chose a relatively cheap option, but it came with glossy paper included, and the finish looked amazing.

I think the only thing that I would consider when ordering from this site is the shipping cost. As with any shipping, the price increases dramatically the sooner you want them. Additionally, the tracking of the package can be confusing. In my case, the package said it arrived on a Monday, but actually arrived Tuesday (either way, it was early). So scheduling does need to be taken into account when ordering. But I would definitely recommend this site (and Moo if you want some beautiful stuff and don’t mind paying a little extra). And with so many options (business cards are just the tip of the iceberg), you can’t go wrong!

Either way, happy printing!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
