https://theaggie.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TjMaxx_BijanAgahi.jpg

1. Walking in and asking yourself "What will I buy today that I don't really need?"

2. Trying to put yourself on a budget:

3. Realizing you're way over your budget already but telling yourself it's okay because "You deserve it"

4. Seeing the sale section:

5. Trying to say "No" to the cashier when they ask if you want to save money by signing up for a TJ Maxx Credit Card because you know you're there all the time and it would save you so much money but also credit card debt.

6. Thinking to yourself "Well if I put back this mug that's $4 I can put towards this sweater but the mug is so cute but the sweater is $10..WHAT CAN I GET RID OF?"

You know you've done it.

7. Getting to the checkout line and telling yourself you're done shopping but you know you aren't because they stick all of the really good stuff in the checkout line for you to add to your cart while you wait.

8. The LINES:

9. Getting to the checkout and seeing your subtotal at $102.36

10. Thinking "Maybe I should put back a few things."

11. Leaving with so many things you didn't need, but at least you got good deals????

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
