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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2054

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...
