I recently started thrifting a lot in the city especially since I've been trying to save my money. Finding good thrift stores in NYC can be a challenge so I thought I could share my favorites and help out someone who wants to shop but not spend too much money at the same time.

1. Cross Roads

Out of all of the thrift stores I've been to in New York City Cross Roads is by far the best one. They organize their clothes into sizes and skirts, pants, shorts, etc. I never feel overwhelmed at Cross Roads because everything is so well organized. Also, they have many pieces from Zara which is by far my favorite store of all time. They have a rack called "employees picks" and it's absolutely the best!

2. L Train Vintage

This thrift store has really good denim pieces. I got a pair of high waisted denim shorts there and they were $20 which is pretty pricey but I absolutely love them. Their denim shorts range anywhere from $5-$25 which is a pretty good deal! It's also right off of the L Train so it's super convenient to get to!

3. No Relation Vintage

I went here with my mom the other day and they had really cute flannels and jean jackets! It was also cheaper than Cross Roads and L Train Vintage. I didn't buy anything but I definitely plan on doing so. I found a really cute Lucky Flannel but it was pretty big on me. I definitely plan on coming back and buying something! The thing with thrift stores is that you have to constantly keep coming back because your size and preferred style isn't guaranteed to be at that store that same day.

4. Buffalo Exchange

If you're ever in the Flatiron District definitely check out Buffalo Exchange because it's less than a half a block away from Cross Roads! Buffalo Exchange is also another well-organized thrift shop which really helps a girl out whenever she's shopping. Shopping is already such a struggle so it's nice to go somewhere that's cheap and organized.

These are just some of my favorite thrift stores in NYC. I posted a Try-On Thrift Haul on my Youtube Channel that I will link down below! Thanks for reading!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
