The Actual Thoughts Of A True Shopper

If shopping was a sport, I'd have a gold medal. Instead, I just have gold jewelry.

The Actual Thoughts Of A True Shopper
Lindsey Pyatt

Shopping — my favorite activity, hobby and sport. Yes, I just called shopping a sport. In my opinion, one can be "good" at shopping, just as he or she can be skilled or "good" at baseball and soccer. With that being said, there are most definitely people that do not excel in the shopping field just like the people who don't hit it off on the field. Aside from a few good drives in golf, let's say my best skill, "athletically," is picking pieces from here and there to put together. I mean, we could technically call this math too it's basically addition. A true shopper often has similar thoughts while "practicing," which is why it is good to be aware, but not always necessary to listen to them.

The Conversation Every True Shopper Has In Their Head (in order)

You: This is so cute.

Your head: Is it cute or is it AHHHHMAZING?

You: AHHHHMAZING. For sure. I mean, look at it.

You again: I need this. Like it's necessary.

Your head: No, no you have it in black. Stay strong.

You: The same item just means consistency.

Your head: Your bank WILL HATE you, I promise.

You: I'll skip dinner this week!

Your head: We both know that's a lie.

*finds another item*

You: Oh my gosh this is to die for.

Your head: Seriously stop. Like why am I even here?

You: I didn't ask you to come.

Your head: Don't you dare.

*Swipe*

You: I got both. Don't feel like you have to come next week- I get along just fine without you.

Now, if my bank account actually let me get both every time, that would be a dream. But I would be skipping lots of dinners. Some call it debt, I call it "building credit"? (totally kidding!!!) (kind of). I will certainly admit that this sport is one of my favorite things to do, and I know I'm not alone because if I were, I'd always be best dressed (and I'm not).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
