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).

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.
