Shopping for some is fun but for me and many others, it is the worst kind of torture out there... I would seriously rather do calculus homework than go on a five-hour shopping trip and get nothing.

Why do you want to try on so many clothes and get nothing out of it?! Would it not be simpler to have a list of what you actually need and just go get them. I mean it works for food shopping so why wouldn't it work for clothes shopping?

So here is a shopping survival list for you crazy shoppers out there that think its actually fun to go shopping all day long. Seriously though how are you not exhausted from all that shopping?

1. Wear a comfy outfit!

It is the worst to wear a complicated outfit that you can't just throw on and off when you are trying on a bunch of clothes. I would also suggest wearing slip-on shoes if possible because you will get sick of retying or zipping up your shoes. I've put a few outfits I personally would wear and can contest to being incredibly comfy.


2. For the love of God don't wear heels

Please be merciful to your feet and wear some nice flat shoes that will not give blisters to your feet and in the long run not damage them either.

3. Bring refreshments

Personally, I get hungry from all the hard work it takes to shop like, walking around and trying on clothes. It's exhausting!! So the easy solution is to bring a hella big bag and stuff full of snacks such as gummy's, and granola bars. You will never regret the extra weight because you'll eventually get hangry on the shopping trip.

4. Make sure to take breaks

Everything will eventually start to blur together and you'll then start buying items that you just won't wear ever. An easy solution to this is to just take a break and inventory what you have already bought and considered what you still need.

5. Create a list before shopping

To prevent purchasing things you simply don't need create a shopping list of what you actually need and have it in a place that is easy to access. Every time you feel the urge to buy something just look at your list of items and see if it is on it. If it is not on it then put it back. This will also help you keep a budget on each shopping trip

6. Set a budget

If you are struggling with going overboard each shopping trip you go on then set a budget for yourself. To help reinforce this budget tell your shopping buddy about it and ask them to help you keep to it. This will help you eventually become more efficient in spending your money and saving it as well.

I hope this short list will help you guys prepare for your next shopping adventure in the future. I've slowly been picked these up myself and have gotten this advice from friends as well I'm actually the kind of shopper that makes a list and goes and gets the exact items on the list and leaves.

Lol ya, I'm not a huge shopper but shopping with friends is always a blast. You get to hang out and try on crazy clothes for laughs! And there is always food at the end no matter what.

Shopping is exhausting. So, good luck and have fun and hopefully, this helped just a little bit.

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.
