Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

At least give it a try!

5
Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

1. You have room for more

Deciding what you wear and what you don't need becomes a lot easier because you get a profit from what you decide to sell. Making it much easier to fit more into your closet.

2. No need to use your hard earned money for new items

With the profit you make from selling your old unwanted items, you can purchase new items that you will get much more use out of.

3. You do not need to bring your clothes to a shop that will buy them for much less

Such as Plato's Closet, where you will get 75 cents for a shirt that is new with tags still attached that say $180 (yes that did happen to me).

4. You will make new friends

I have several different shopping apps on my phone, Mercari, Poshmark, Tradesy, Wanelo, and many more! The relationships I have made with some of the sellers are very strong and I continue to buy from them because I know the items will arrive in wonderful condition everytime!

5. Expensive brands for less

You quickly learn the deals and what is worth the buy and how quickly you need to buy before someone else. I have found brand new $400 purses for around $50!

6. You can shop whenever, wherever

You connect with others around the world at anytime! Say you work nights, so you sleep in the daytime. On your days off you can still shop when you're the only one up at 2-5 AM! In bed, on the train, in the coffee shop, even while you're driving! (Please, don't do that though, it is illegal).

7. You become familiar with the brands you like, and your sizes

Have you ever been asked by someone in a store, "can you please check my tag and see what size I am in jeans." It happens often to me, (mainly when I'm with my mom haha). I know exactly what size I am in almost everything, and I can refine my searches to my sizing so if I see something I like, I know I am not looking at something I can't have, because that's always a let down!

8. It's a free job

You do not need to fill out an application, or be a male, female, or any specific race. Everyone is accepted and everyone has a free chance to earn money!

There are many, many more reasons why you should online shop! Start downloading the apps, and at least give it a try! :)

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
