We all have that one store in mind where you already know when you step foot inside you have to tell your best friend to hold your credit card and not give it up even if there is "7 for $27.50". Here are a list of stores you are guilty of knowing how dangerous they are.

1. Victoria's Secret

"It's just 7 for $27, the $0.50 doesn't matter, and I'll only pay like $30" YEAH OK, you end up buying boyfriend pants, a half-zip, and of course you can't refuse the $5 sprays and lotions.

2. Ulta

"I just need eyeliner and I have a $3.50 off coupon". $75.00 later and you can't even carry everything you've picked up such as that Naked palette, Philosophy shower gel and lotion, matte lip colors, it just ends up being a giant mess every time. Oh yeah, and you forgot that eyeliner you needed.

3. Bath and Body Works

"2 for $22 3-wick candles?! I need 9." I don't know about you, but I'm pretty close with the manager from this store, and not because I previously knew her. We're on a first name basis..

4. Walmart

You go in there for literally one thing, and you walk out with a cart full. Don't try to convince me otherwise, you know it's true.

5. Michael's

"I need to buy a drawing pad for class" Yeah I actually got the drawing pad, along with glitter, crayons, paints and rhinestones that I will most likely only use once.

6. Sephora

Every girls makeup dream store. You know you NEED everything in there and you know you WILL spend more than $100 easily. Trust me, been there done that multiple times.

7. Target

Oh you just needed the essential tank tops and tee-shirts right? Don't worry, you didn't forget all of the unnecessary makeup that you don't need (even though you already bought half of Ulta and all of Sephora). And you also didn't forget those movies you always wanted and the cute office supplies too. There's another $90 you just blew, congrats.

8. The dollar store

You wouldn't think the dollar store could possibly be dangerous, but it really is. Since everything's a dollar you need like five of everything. Before you know it your total is well over $40 and that my friends, is how a dollar store is dangerous.

9. Pandora

I don't need a man to buy me my rings, I go and buy my own! Preferably the ones with the most bling because they sparkle perfectly in the sunlight while I'm driving. While I'm there I might as well get another charm, and maybe a pair of earrings too.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
