Online shopping is a true addiction. It’s the best way to stay inside all day and not sacrifice a good, healthy day of retail therapy. Online shopping is a passion and an art. You hunt down all the best sales and resort to Amazon for practically everything. There’s an excitement that comes with receiving a package in the mail every day and you wouldn’t give up this addiction for anything, especially if you had to leave your apartment and shop the normal way.

1. Most of your emails consist of promotions.

    These emails definitely help you find sales faster but they completely add fuel to the shopping flame. If you’re casually scrolling through your emails, there is no way you won’t get distracted by seeing that 20 percent off discount from your favorite brand. You’ll click out of your inbox and start scrolling through the sale section.

    2. FREE SHIPPING! FREE SHIPPING! FREE SHIPPING!

    If you were ever contemplating placing that order, this promotion just sold you. Free shipping makes you teary at the eyes and is hands down the best deal you can ask for.

    3. You love not having to get dressed to go shopping.


    You can stay in your pajamas all day and scroll. No need to worry about putting on makeup or curling your hair. You can simply roll out of bed, grab your laptop and your wallet and shop until you drop.

    4. Instead of buying something in stores you’ll order it online.

    Yes, your favorite eyeshadow is in stock at Sephora but there’s no reason to worry about human interaction for the day because you can easily order it online.

    5. You’re willing to sacrifice your school work for some online shopping.

    You basically have a doctorate degree in online shopping and that’s the highest form of education you could possibly need. Every now and then it’s OK to take a break from your studies and focus on your real academics — the sale's section drop-down link.

    6. There’s no need to stress about buying gifts.

    Everyone is impressed by how you managed to buy the coolest gifts at the best prices. It’s easy to say that after spending countless hours surfing the web, finding the coolest online shops and the best deals. You’re easily the best gift giver during the holiday season.

    7. Your bank account suffers.

    It’s easy to spend but it’s not easy to deal with the repercussions of your spending. Your heart sinks when you get that notification that you account is below balance. Surprisingly, that scares you for only a second and then you're back to your online shopping spree.

    8. Cyber Monday is better than any holiday you’ve ever celebrated.

    There're so many deals that it becomes overwhelming. You know that this is the perfect time to strike. You’ll treat yourself to that $100 coat that was marked down by 75 percent. On this sacred holiday, there’s nothing stopping you.

    In the end, your excessive online shopping may actually be worth it. You have the opportunity to save more money than regular in-store shopping. You might even find some amazing items that aren't even sold in stores.

    I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

    To My Loving Boyfriend,

    • Thank you for all that you do for me
    • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
    • Thank you for always supporting me
    • I appreciate you more than words can express
    • You have helped me grow and become a better person
    • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
    • I promise to cherish every moment with you
    • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
    • I love you and everything you do

    To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

    Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
