10 Common Thoughts of a Pinterest Addict
Jess Lively

According to my boards, I am not only organized, fashionable, and crafty, but I achieved these qualities very easily. Pinterest can be an escape from the reality of your t-shirt filled closet, or a black hole waiting to suck you in, and once you create that "future wedding" board, there's no turning back. The world of Pinterest is full of vast oceans filled with designer handbags and DIY projects. Somehow, this magical land has convinced you that you can change your life in the easiest ways possible, as long as you pin a picture to a board.

1."Thank God these cupcakes are healthy."

There is no way that extreme double chocolate cupcake dipped in edible glitter will be unhealthy, because the pretty blue font above the picture said so. And this kale smoothie with extra spinach will also be super tasty because the group of girls drinking them on the beach are having the time of their lives, all because of this smoothie.

2. "I need this outfit."


One of the most addicting areas of Pinterest is the clothes. Especially after learning the 15 different ways you can wear this one shirt, you have to have it, no matter what. Beware: looking at your closet filled with sweatpants and T-shirts after an afternoon of pinning can quickly shift your mood from inspired to utterly disappointed.

3. "I will have my dream body by next Tuesday."

Adding the "30 day butt challenges" to your fitness board is one step closer to putting your workout clothes on and heading to the gym. But once you scroll down and see the matching "30 day arm challenge" and "30 day leg challenge," you have just become your own glorified personal trainer. Since you are now a personal trainer, doing all 30 days of these challenges are not necessary, and a five day challenge seems much more appropriate.

4. "I am the Picasso of my generation."

Yes, it is possible for me to make a professional canvas, and I will become rich after selling it on Etsy. These painting skills do not stop at canvases folks, they also apply to nail art.

5 "Occupation: professional Pinterest blogger."

Spending hours pinning extremely useful tips and tricks is just not enough, you must organize all your boards and make them look pretty with matching cover photos (side note: this may just be me, but I like it, and I am proud).


6. "I am a crafting goddess."


According to this post, all I need is some paint and a power sander, and I can turn my bedroom furniture into a page out of a vintage magazine. Then I will also be a hipster.

7. "My dorm room will look like this."

Yes, that full size, white leather couch will fit into your dorm, and you will never spill your coffee on it because of the full size coffee table, that will also fit into your dorm.

8. "I can pull off purple hair braided in three different ways."

The girl in the 4 minute tutorial just showed you how to make beach waves in her luscious purple hair in a 4 minute tutorial, so you have no excuse not to try it.

9. "Side Occupation: Makeup Artist."


Pinterest posts will either tell you to spend your life savings on makeup at Sephora, or $20 at Target. Either way, the girl in the video said it will change your life, so it's worth it.

10. "Has it really been three hours?"


Binge watching an entire season of Parks and Rec is one thing, but binge pinning pictures of Ben and Leslie, yummy waffle recipes, and easy hairstyles at the same time is a whole new level of binging.

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.
