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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
