What It Feels Like To Order From Tobi
Tobi

Tobi has become the brand of “going out.” College girls everywhere turn to Tobi to help them find an outfit guaranteed for a great weekend. From dresses with harnesses to plunging necklines, Tobi really has it all. But, ordering from the site is about as stressful as getting into a bar during Syllabus week. Here is a typical Tobi shopping experience

  • You get an e-mail about new items, so you take a peek.
  • You alert the group chat so they are all aware of the online shopping spree that will occur after class.
  • You scroll and heart some things ...
  • ... and see a couple of questionable pieces.
  • Who is actually going to buy this?
  • Then you find the top.

  • It’s the crop top you've been hunting for!
  • It's not just any crop top — this one is black with a halter!!!
  • Now you need a skirt to match, and that bodysuit looks real good.
  • You consult the squad and ask for opinions.
  • You wonder if the bodysuit is too slutty and worth the “no return policy.”
  • They convince you out of the heinous interesting skirt and advise on a better color for the bodysuit.
  • Always go with black.

  • Finally time to buy!
  • Ugh, it’s not a 50-percent-off sale, so you have to create another fake Facebook and email address.
  • What if someone friends you on this account?
  • Whatever pretend to be Amy Schumer.
  • OK, time to log in!
  • Oh sh*t you forgot the password to your real Facebook.

  • Oh well, you finally have the TOBI50 code!!!
  • Now you need to search for the clothes you want!
  • You finally find the “Take Me There Crop Top” and “Little Lies Bodysuit.”
  • You can finally add to cart!
  • OK, time for shipping.

  • WHEN DID TOBI START CHARGING FOR SHIPPING!?
  • You've already put in so much work, you give up the extra $7.
  • Even though that is straight up BS!
  • Finally, you press the confirm order, and there it goes to TobiLand
  • Why doesn’t Tobi ship INSTANTLY?

  • You earnestly check your email until you finally have a package!
  • Only class and a long walk to the mailroom stand between you and happiness.
  • Then it takes the mailroom man a century to find your package.
  • But there it is! All wrapped in gray packaging.
  • You proudly hold that package so people can see you are gonna look good this weekend!

  • You alert the group chat to meet in your room for critiques.
  • You practically rip the tags off because you are so excited to try everything on!
  • Then the disappointment hits ..
  • This isn’t your dream crop top.
  • This isn’t how it looked on the model.

  • Maybe it's the bacon, egg and cheese you ate today?
  • Maybe it’s the bra you're wearing?
  • Do you even wear a bra with this top?
  • You turn to face the critics.
  • Your one honest friend blurts that top is a NO.

  • Your friends all try it on to save you from having to ship it back ...
  • ... but everyone just ends up laughing about how ridiculous they look in it.
  • Then you pull out the bodysuit and see that it’s white.
  • You ordered black.

  • The crew tells you they like it, but don’t know what you will wear it with.
  • “White is a little springy,” they say.
  • Ugh, but it’s non refundable.
  • You’ll make it work.
  • Besides, you’re desperate and need something new!
  • So, you repackage the dream top and print return labels.
  • You feel #blessed that Tobi has free returns.

  • Then you prepare the trek back to the mailroom to say goodbye.
  • At least you have one new outfit for the weekend.
  • Besides, they’ll have new clothes next week so you can always look again ...

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.
