The Struggle Of Being A Free People Addict

Something my generation seems to adore, and yes I am guilty of this, is paying top dollar to look as if you have only one dollar. Many renowned retailers have caught on to this trend...

One of them being Free People

I cannot lie. Though I recognize the problem, and quite frankly the ignorance, in continuing to shop so irresponsibly, I cannot and will not stop walking into that beautiful little store which reminds me of a peaceful community yoga studio and a trendy thrift store all at the same time.

Here are six struggles all Free People Junkies understand all too well...


1. The initial adrenaline rush you experience when you're only 50 ft away from the store.


2. That first step through the door when it's too late to walk away from the inevitable debt you'll be facing.


3. The upsetting reality that Free People will never actually be free...

4. There are so many bralettes. One for every yoga class you'll never attend.

Too bad none of them support the girls...

5. Fighting with the hand sewn dressing room curtains.



6. Figuring out how you'll pay the $350 for your soft maroon T-shirt, sunset orange bralette, and vegan leather pants.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
