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 ...

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
