7 Ways You Know You're A Bargainer

In This Article:

You're the Shopping Queen, the Bargain Hunter, the Deal Stealer, etc. and there's a damn good reason why you earned your name!

1. You head to the sale section as soon as you enter the store

It's a habit. We kind of just brush past all of the pretty displays and new, nicely merchandized product. We don't care, because we know a few treasures are hiding in those messy, misplaced racks!

2. You tell everyone about your bargains (even if they don't ask)

It's a good conversation starter! Nine times out of ten I'll use this excuse to break the silence. Hear crickets while talking to an old friend? Flash them your foot and tell them how your new boots were only twenty dollars at T.J. Maxx!

3. All of your favorite sites are saved on your phone/laptop

Easy access makes online shopping quick and painless! (Well, painless at least. "Quick" and "bargaining" should never be together in the same sentence.)

4. You use all the discounts you can at checkout

You go to your favorite stores with coupons in hand, or to your favorite sites with a few discount codes to try. Or, you leave it up to Honey to do the latter, which is an app downloadable to Google Chrome which automatically plugs in previously used discount codes when at check out. Needless to say, it's a bargainer's best friend.

5. You have great brand knowledge

The good ones, the bad ones, and everything in between - you know them all: their quality, their history, their philosophy - but you especially know if you're getting a good deal on them (or not)!

6. Friends always want to know where you get your steals

It must be at least once a week that I get a text or DM from a friend or stranger asking something along the lines of, "How the heck did you manage to those jeans for twenty dollars, and where can I go to get some myself?" Oh girl, I gotchu.

7. You'd run a marathon three days in a row before buying something full price

Is there need to say more?

See you in the sale section!

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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
