5 Shops in Tampa You Should Visit

#1.) Altar'd State - Located in International Plaza, Altar'd State is currently my go to store as a college student shopping on a shoestring budget. Not only is the apparel eclectic, but the fairly new retailer sells a variety of fresh home goods, gift items and accessories. Altar'd State also gives back to the community by donating a portion of every sale made to local and international charities. Altar'd State is currently having an additional 70 percent off sale on already marked down items. These types of sales are not uncommon for the store as well. In the past two months alone, the company has also had additional 50 percent and 60 percent off sales. In the past I have bought faux leather leggings for $14, denim shorts for $9, winter sweaters for $15, dresses from anywhere between $10-$20 and even skirts for just $1.

#2.) Tampa Indie Flea - This local flea market only takes place once a month, but it is well worth the wait. Shoppers can find a multitude of crafts made by local artists, baked goods, vintage clothing and accessories, plants and furniture items. I stopped by January's Indie Flea, located at the historic Rialto Theater for the first time and found lots of great deals. I bought a pair of earrings and a necklace from one jeweler for $30 altogether and found unused or gently used vintage shoes and clothing anywhere from $1-$10. At this market, there is definitely something for everyone. Currently the Indie Flea is planning to host a pop-up market in Gainesville in the near future.

#3.) Vagabond Gita - Although I have not been here yet, Vagabond Gita is a bar, street market, gallery, food trucks and provides live entertainment in Seminole Heights. You can stop by and watch artists create works of art in front of you, visit vendors that make jewelry, hand-painted clothing and soap products or just stop by to enjoy food drinks and great music to dance to.

#4.) Juxtapose - Located in Hyde Park, this store is chock full of name brand clothes and knick knacks from companies such as Free People, BCBG, Trina Turk, Rebecca Minkoff and many more. Juxtapose just had a sticker sale with marked down prices anywhere from 20-60 percent off the original price.

#5.) Tampa Bay Outfitters - For those of you who enjoy outdoor brands such as Patagonia, Chacos, Camelbak, The North Face and Columbia to name a few, this is the perfect place for you. This store always has a sale rack full of apparel from name brands such as these. The first time I went in, I found a Patagonia fleece pullover on sale for only $45 (marked down from $120!) For college students coming to school from up north, it can be a shock when winter comes around and it is surprisingly cold here in Tampa. This is definitely the place to go to find those popular fleece pullovers for a fraction of the price.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
