Only shopaholics know that shopping is a real hobby. Shopping is the best past time and theres nothing we would rather do than shop to our hearts content. So heres how you can tell if you truly are a shopaholic or if you just enjoy shopping.

1. You spend most of your time looking up things to buy on the internet.


You are constantly scrolling through the vast array of items being sold at your favorite stores. You like to be the first to scope out all the new hot items at your favorite shop. Most people are stuck scrolling through their social media feed while you are scrolling through online store websites.

2. You have lots of things in your closet that still have a tag on them.


You shop so much you probably have a bunch of items that are unworn or unused and still have tags on them. Still, you seem to buy more things! It's never ending, and you can not have more than enough clothes, shoes, purses, watches, whatever your heart desires!

3. You buy things you do not really need.


Theres a huge difference between things you really need and things you want. Most of the time, if you are a shopaholic, you spend your earnings on things you want. You could totally live without most of the things you purchase, but do you really want to? No. Life is better with all the things you want!

4. Emotions drive your spending habits.


When you're happy, you shop. When you're sad, you shop. When you get mad, you shop. Whatever emotion you are feeling, it most likely leads to you wanting to go make a sweet purchase.

5. Spending gives you an adrenaline rush.


You feel so alive when you buy something you really want. Especially when its a big purchase you have been saving up for or if you get a really good deal on an item you have been eyeing for a long time.

6. Some days you just get the urge to buy something.


Sometimes you just cant help but really want to go out and make a purchase. Something inside of you makes you feel like you need to buy something, anything, even if its something super small and cheap.

7. You always have something sitting in your checkout cart.


Anytime you go to your favorite store's website, you can bet there is probably something already sitting in your cart waiting for checkout.

8. You constantly track your packages.


It is like a strange addiction. You are always checking your phone to see if your tracking number reads delivered yet or you are checking how far your package is from being delivered to your door.

9. When one package arrives, you start waiting for another.


Once a package is delivered, you know it's time to start waiting for another or if there is no other package to wait for it's time to buy something so you have a package to await.

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.
