15 Things Everyone Who's Obsessed With Online Shopping Understands

It's easy to get hooked on shopping online. It's easy, convenient, usually involves some really great sales. Of course, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Every serial shopper knows these feelings all too well.

1. When your favorite site has a sale.

Now's the perfect time to search your wish list and finally get all that stuff you want!

2. Or better yet, free shipping!

Is there any better incentive to shop online than free shipping?

3. When you try to convince yourself that buying three things to get a deal is better than just buying one.

But what if I need more of it?

4. When you click on an item and it says "shipping not available."


You expect me to go to the store and buy this?!

5. Or worse, it's out of stock!


Followed by frantic emails to costumer service asking when it'll be back.

6. When you start rationalizing putting that thing in your cart. You know which one.

You definitely don't need it. Or do you?

7. When you start out looking for one specific thing but end up browsing the entire site.

If you're order stuff anyway, you might as well see if there's anything else you need!

8. Making trips to the post office is part of your daily routine.

You're on a first-name basis with your mailman.

9. You end up having to justify all the things that end up in your cart.

"I really do need more clothes, and stuff for my room, and phone cases, and..."

10. That moment of glee when you finally place your order...

A lot has led up to this moment!

11. Tracking your package every day so you know when it arrives.

You have to be prepared!

12. When something in your order doesn't fit or doesn't work...

Because returns are the worst.

13. When your friends insist you have a problem.

They just don't understand!

14. When you check your bank statement...

Maybe you should take a break!

15. But you know that even if you stop for a while, you'll be back online soon enough!

You deserve to send yourself a present!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
