Do You Really Need To Go Shopping?

As a college student we face the constant struggle known as money. We are always debating whether or not we want to spend the $5 on the pizza, or if we really need that shirt for a club we are in. Then you have the nights where you aren't really in a state of mind to make proper decisions, and the next morning you look at your credit card statement to see you spent $30 at Papa Johns. How did that happen?? But, the BIGGEST struggle is not shopping at all of your favorite stores. Sometimes those deals are too good to pass up, so you have to ask yourself these simple questions.


1. Is it under $20 dollars?

It might not be under $20, but its normally $100 so if you think about it, it is really a pretty good deal!

2. Is it even your size?

Sometimes you fall in love with a shirt but its 3 sizes too big, oversized is totally in this year!

3. Will you wear it?

If I had it I bet I would wear it all the time!

4. What will you wear with it?

Hmm, true, I should probably look for something that matches it.


5. Would you buy it if it was over $20?

Well it's under $20 so we don't have to worry about it.


Ok, so maybe those questions don't really help. Everybody loves a good deal, and everybody loves some cute clothes. We only live once so might as well buy that cute pair of leggings. Unless you're leaving to study abroad in 40 days like me, then you better find a talent and start performing on the streets.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."
