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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
