12 Signs You're Hopelessly Addicted To Pinterest
Pinterest

Hi, my name is Claire Hampton and I'm a Pin-aholic. (This is the part where you say, "Hi Claire.")

Today we will be discussing the 12 signs of Pinterest-itis. If you relate to all or most of these, then you too are a Pin-aholic.

This article is not responsible for any extra time you may spend on Pinterest after reading it.

1. Everything you say or quote comes from Pinterest

Praying it's not a conspiracy because, if so, I've fallen for the bait.

2. You have a board for everything, and I mean everything

Everyone was getting a Pinterest in the 6th grade, or was it 7th? Anyways, I made an account too and immediately got sucked in.

3. You've planned out your entire wedding

Tell me, why doesn't money grow on trees again?

4. Your sentences often begin with, "I was scrolling through Pinterest and found..."

But really though...

5. The photo album on your phone is filled with screenshots of things you have found on Pinterest

This is probably why I have over 500 pictures in my screenshots album.

6. You're always scared people will think you're getting married (when you're not) because you just spent a few hours pinning engagement rings

16 isn't too young to start planning, right?

7. You had your college dorm room designed long before you were old enough to take the ACT

It's never too early to start preparing for college, especially when it comes to choosing a color scheme.

8. Wishing your closet was filled with all the pins you have in your clothing, shoes, and accessories board

Or just wishing you could actually pull off anything you have in your clothing, shoes, and accessories board. Those 6-inch wedges are super duper cute, but you know in reality your ankles are too weak to wear them and you would fall and break your neck in like 0.2 seconds.

9. We've all looked up and cooked recipes but they never turned out as aesthetically pleasing to the eye

Yup. Nailed it.

10. Has like thousands of DIY things pinned but has never tried one of them


They seem like great ideas when you first pin them, but then you realize you would have to exit out of Pinterest and you've scrolled this far already. Not to mention you would have to actually get up.

11. Pins a bunch of exercise routines, is determined to try them out, but never “gets around” to them

Seriously, I think I've done maybe one. I always give myself great excuses, like, keep pinning!

12. Low key hoping your future husband has a Pinterest so he can know what kind of engagement ring to get you

And also hoping that he is not upset you already planned the entire wedding before you even met him. Maybe he won't want a say in things? Well, here's hoping!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
