7 Things You've Said If You're Addicted To Online Shopping
The Telegraph

Online shopping to some is just looking on the internet for things you cannot find in stores. For many others, online shopping is a way of life. Online shoppers are the most resourceful people on the planet. From ordering food to furniture or clothes to cups, online shoppers know how to shop without even leaving their living rooms. Some may see online shopping as an addiction, however, online shoppers, including myself, see this as the future. Like every obsessive group, we have our special lingo. So, here are seven sayings that represent the life of an online shopper.

1. "I'll order it online."

This is your slogan for life. You could be out in public and see something you love but that will not stop you from finding it and ordering online. It is something about the chase from website to website looking for the perfect thing while sitting in bed that gives you a rush!

2. "Is my package here yet?"

Although the website gave you an expected date and time that your package will arrive, nothing will stop you from checking the tracking code and the mailbox every day frantically looking for that unicorn coffee mug that was an impulse buy.

3. "Do I really need this...?"

You make a valiant effort to talk yourself out of buying certain things. Although you may like it, sometimes you have a rational discussion with yourself about your spending. No, you do not need the same shirt in 4 different colors but you will probably convince yourself that you need them anyway... oh well.

4. "I think I have a coupon code for that in my email."

You are constantly checking your email for the new deals. You take extreme couponing and sales to a new level. You scour the internet for coupon codes and websites that offer 20 percent off with an email sign up.

5. "Hopefully, this will fit."

Ordering clothes can be tricky at times. You look at the size chart trying to find a size but then you remember that you do not know how to read a size chart. But that's okay! You just make your best guess and let out a sigh, praying that it will fit.

6. "When did I buy this?"

Sometimes, we order so many things in one sitting that we forget what we buy and then we get a package in the mail that gives us a shock. So, when this happens, do not be alarmed. It was just a surprise present from you to yourself.

7. "I wonder if I can but that online"

The answer is yes... yes you can.


So, to my online shoppers, keep doing what you're doing because that pumpkin costume isn't going to buy itself! Happy shopping!

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
