Anyone who knows me well knows that shopping is one of my favorite activities. Don't get me wrong, I'm a broke college kid just like you... but I work hard for my money while being a full-time student, so I really don't see anything wrong with me spending my money on things that I want. Plus, I can also be found window shopping in between paychecks.

So basically shopping is actually my cardio! With that being said, there are definitely a lot of stores that can make or break a mall. Continue reading to find out more about what stores I love to find in the mall!

1. Free People

Okay, so obviously on a part-time salary shopping budget Free People is definitely considered luxurious... but I just love their clothes so much, and their store is always perfectly arranged!

2. H&M

H&M has super cute clothes at a somewhat reasonable budget! You can always find something to wear to work or even on the weekends here!

3. Bath and Body Works

This is my absolute favorite non-clothing store simply because I am obsessed with candles and currently have 20+ hidden in my closet!

4. Nike

I'm obsessed with Nike shoes and love having a stash of them in the closet!

5. Athleta

This is another luxurious store for me, but for someone who is obsessed with leggings as I am, this store is an absolute must-have!

6. Barnes and Noble

Obviously another non-clothing store, but the combination of amazing books and Starbucks makes anyone's shopping experience better! Plus, I recently Bought Khloe Kardashians book and I absolutely LOVE it!

7. Altar'd State

This store reminds me of a slightly more affordable Free People, which is obviously why I love it! They have the cutest clothes, jewelry, and some of the best smelling candles! Although their clothes are still a little bit more expensive than I'd ideally like to pay for, it's still a great store!

8. Forever 21

This has been one of my favorite places to shop since I was in high school, and they've definitely kept me coming back for years.

9. Loft

Since I am approaching graduation, I've slowly begun acquiring a collection of professional wear, and Loft is my favorite place to go for it! Plus, they also have a lounge collection which is super cozy.

10. Nordstrom Rack

Okay, so it isn't super common to find a Nordstrom Rack inside of a mall or even attached, but I have been in one and it's a great place to shop! Plus, you can even find discounted Free People items there!

So, on a scale of 1-10 where does your mall rank?
