They say there are three basic necessities that a human needs to survive: Food, Water, and Goodwill. Goodwill is a safe haven for all cheap shopaholics like me. I love the feeling of buying one thousand items and merely breaking a twenty.

For fellow Goodwill obsessed shoppers like me, I praise you for recycling clothing and having a keen and sharp eye for the finer things in life. There is nothing quite like going into Goodwill and finding the deal of a lifetime. I don't know about you all, but I will most likely still shop at Goodwill even if I won the lottery.

Honestly, it's not about shopping...it's about the hunt and the search for the best deals. So for all you Goodwill addicts, please relate to me and my unhealthy obsession.

1. You have frequently gone to your local Goodwill so much that you've memorized the clothes.

There have been times where I would go into my local Goodwill and know what clothes are new, and what ones have been sitting there for a couple weeks. Oops.

2. You have been to two or more Goodwills on a given day.

Sometimes I would be guilty of visiting one city and the next, and I always make it a priority to stop at each city's Goodwill.

3. You donate clothes on separate days just to get multiple "$5 off $20" coupons.

I am not sure if all Goodwills do this, but at the ones near me, you can get Goodwill coupons if you donate (cue me dropping off one box of clothing a day to get the max number of coupons).

4. The employees recognize you.

Yes, I am a regular. No, I am not ashamed.

5. The majority of your closet came from Goodwill.

I just love to show others how little I paid for this gorgeous dress!

6. You feel a special joy when you buy a piece of clothing with the colored tag of the day.

Half off and 99 cent Sundays? Sign me up!

7. You've trained yourself to memorize clothing brands, and you can tell exactly which store a shirt came from.

Xhilaration? Target. Lauren Conrad? Kohl's. Worthington? J.C. Penny's. The list goes on and on.

8. You visit Goodwill at least once a week.

You always got to keep on top of the deals!

9. Your idea of a fun day with friends or a date is thrift shopping at Goodwill.

It's like looking at an antique museum...except you can buy the artifacts!

10. You spend at least an hour or two every time you shop to make sure you have checked every crevice for clothes that you missed, or for clothes that just came out of the back.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
