10 Irrelevant Things You, A Broke College Student, Keep Buying

It's not often that a college gal has extra money to spend, but what do I do when I have a solid $17 in my bank account... scroll through online shopping. I've created a pretty solid list of the 10 things you probably don't own but could spend a while on Amazon shopping for.

1. Car Coasters

Natural Life literally has the cutest, whoever thought of this is absolutely genius.

2. Bobby Pins

Literally, who can ever have enough of these! Always something to buy!

3. Lululemon

OK, don't hate me, but I kid you not these are just the best things you will ever put on your legs. Once you do, there is no turning back.

4. Chacos

I was never a Chaco girl, but these are just great to have for summer, the pool, and doing earthly things.

5. Boho Bandeau

Again, Natural Life killing the game with useless things. Seriously how cute though?!

6. Makeup Bags

Canvas Pouches could rule my world. I just can't have enough, they are too cute!

7. Little Prayer Box

These are available at T.J.Maxx and are a super cute place to store your prayers.

8. Sudoku Calendar

These are so cool and they have a sudoku puzzle for everyday!!

9. Wall Canvas

Who can ever have enough of these?? Wall canvases are my most favorite thing. I could unload at Hobby Lobby.

10. Mini Mason Jars

You can grow plants, fill these with hair things, or bucket lists. What else could one need!

So here is my irrelevant list of things you should currently online shop for instead of studying! I hope these things benefit your life like they have benefitted mine!

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.

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.

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.
