Some girls love to shop, some girls hate to shop, but every girl has made her fair amount of mistakes shopping. As you get extra cash in your pocket from that new job or extra babysitting gigs, keep these mistakes in mind and maybe try not to make them this time around.

1. Blowing way too much money on one item

Everyone has that one sweater they won't tell you how much it cost.

2. Getting an item for when you lose weight

Don't buy goal pants, they just make you feel worse when they don't zip.

3. Buying daring clothes you'll never wear out of the house

Oh yes, the dress that looks like lingerie is totally a responsible purchase.

4. Spending way too much money on a theme outfit

Is the Instagram post really worth forty dollars?

5. Buying an item eerily similar to an item you already have

Just, look at your closet before you leave.

6. Buying something because a salesperson helped you

They don't get commission and they probably don't care.

7. Defeat sales

You've been looking all day and just want to buy something. Weak.

8. Brand shopping

Just because it's Vera Bradley doesn't mean it's actually cute.

9. Buying matching outfits with your friends

You're not the Olsen twins. Just color coordinate if you have to.

10. Refusing to change sizes

Going from a S to an M is not a big deal, stop sparing your comfort over stupid little letters.

11. Red carpet shopping

Yes, Jessica, that would look great on the red carpet, but you're never going on one.

12. Buying something out of season on clearance

That sweater is going to be itchy and out of style by the time winter gets here.

13. Buying a trendy piece you hate

Don't like overalls? Easy fix: don't buy them.

14. Refusing to buy second hand

It's like a treasure hunt all on its own. And it's not ridiculously overpriced.

15. Splurging a big paycheck

Just because you made more that doesn't mean you have to spend more.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
