10 Signs You're A Shopaholic

I've had a shopping problem since I was really young. I loved going anywhere if it meant that I got to push a cart or even carry a bunch of things around. It's weird, but I even got excited when it was time to go food shopping, and not just for the giant jar of Nutella.

In my years of swiping cards and browsing sale racks, it has been brought to my attention by literally everyone that I have a problem. A major shopping problem. Here's a list of ten things that can lead to your diagnosis of being a fellow shopaholic.


1. Instead of talking your problems out, you swipe your credit cards.

2. This is your reaction whenever there is a sale:

3. You buy things you don't even need to buy, simply for the sake of buying.

4. You walk into a store with one thing in mind and leave with about five bags.

5. You have bookmark after bookmark saved on your laptop from your favorite online stores.

6. Your closet is way too small. Like seriously too small.

7. You get a rush from buying something new, even if it's just a replacement buy for something you already have.

8. When shopping for other people, you end up shopping for yourself as well.

9. Shop 'til you drop is taken to the extreme.

10. Your face every time you look at your bank account statement:


Congratulations! If you have done some or all of these things, I'm proud to announce that you're a shopaholic! Now try not to flaunt it before your family and friends send you through an intervention.

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.
