If you are one of the people who puts every girl under the stereotype of a shopaholic, you are very wrong because SURPRISE, not every girl likes to shop. In fact some hate it. Like myself. Now, don't get me wrong. I love clothes, shoes, and accessories-I love it all. I just hate all the walking through stores, trying clothes on, digging through racks, searching for coupons part. Sitting comfortably on a couch listening to music, while browsing through online store websites is more my style. All it takes is a couple clicks, typing in a few numbers, and bam. Clothes are on their way to my house. Didn't even have to leave the couch. Unfortunately, online shopping still has it's downfalls. You do not have the liberty of trying on your desired purchase, so you are at risk of it not fitting and then having to actually walk into the dreaded store for a return. So, for you misled people who truly think all girls live, eat, and breathe shopping, let me give you some insight on what we are really thinking while perusing through aisles and aisles of clothes.

1. Yes, there's a brief moment of seeing all the possibilities of purchases and feeling like we're in heaven.

Clothes and clothes galore!!

2. But as we start looking at all the types of jeans, we begin to get stressed.

Super skinny, skinny, high waist, boot-cut, flare, straight, boyfriend, mid rise, low-rise, high-rise. So many options and only so much time.

3. Trying on all the jeans is a whole other story.

Some are too tight, some are too frumpy. Some have awkward length and some have too many holes. Putting on and taking off 10+ pairs of jeans is exhausting and depressing when we can't find the pair that works.

4. But then we find THE pair. They fit great and are comfortable.

Until we realize we only have one shirt in our wardrobe that will go with this awesome pair of pants. It makes us annoyed, but we buy them anyway.

5. Now, onto tops.

At this point, we are tired from changing clothes so many times and annoyed that we only came out of it with one pair of pants. The good thing is tops are easier to shop for, so we begin filling our arms with sweaters, cardigans, long sleeved tops and short sleeved tops.

6. We spend another HOUR in the changing room.

On top of being tired and annoyed, we are now getting hungry and thirsty. It's really a dangerous combination.

7. We are happy with our pile only to realize the final price will be well over our price range.

So we go through the process of picking and choosing, saying goodbye to a top that looked super cute but is just too much money.

8. Finally, we walk towards the checkout line and it's a mile long.

And at the very front is the typical customer who is complaining about the price of every item that is being rung up.

9. Our feet hurt from standing, our stomachs growl in pain, and our heads hurt from lack of water.

We make it the register and find the final price of our clothes is still over our limit. We buy them anyway because we are too tired to figure out what to toss.

10. We make it to our car and fall into our seat exhausted.

Sure we got great clothes, but we can't help but wonder if that whole shopping process was really worth it.

We decide that the next trip won't be for a while or we will just take the risk and online shop because that trip was just too taxing.

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.
