In This Article:

Let's face it- people will do anything to relieve the stress that occurs throughout their everyday lives. It turns out that a 2013 survey suggested that one in three recently stressed Americans were said to shop to deal with their stress, which turns into a whopping 91% of the population overall. Retail therapy is a real thing, people!

Although the summer feels — and everything great that comes along with it — are starting to settle in, there are definitely still everyday stressors that haunt everyone. Luckily for Americans, however, because Home Goods is here to help us all out. A lot of people may forget that this store even exists, and that is a shame because this is one that does not only fail to disappoint but can do wonders for the shopping soul. Have no fear, because Home Goods is here to solve all your problems one random item at a time!

They literally have everything you need (and don't need)

The aisles of Home Goods are filled with everything- from furniture and wall art to knick-knacks and statuettes. Whatever you are looking for you can most definitely find here, and even if you aren't looking for anything, in particular, you are bound to want to get something on your way out the door.

Even through the organized mess, it's still an aesthetic

The thing about the shelves at Home Goods is that they are the literal definition of an organized mess- in a good way! The aisles are categorized by item, but the shelves still look like they are a mess because the items are usually strewn all over. With all the different colors, shapes and sizes, it kind of makes the whole place look like a messy adventure.

It's a place where you can go if you're bored

It is always a good idea to go shopping when you're bored, but it's on a whole other level when it comes to Home Goods. Because of their diverse display of stock, this store is the perfect place for exploring and taking silly Snapchats with your friends. If you and your squad are ever bored this summer, you should definitely try this place for a new kind of shopping.

It's affordable- even for college students!

Every college student is aware that they have to be careful with how much money they're spending on the daily (even in the summer), but at Home Goods, everything is pretty much discounted or at a reasonable price. From everyday items to dorm necessities, plan to do your back-to-school shopping here instead.

For as inexpensive as it is, they still have really cute things

When people usually think of cheap stores they think the stuff they carry is not the best. Well, Home Goods is the perfect store because that reasonably priced stuff also happens to be really cute and one of a kind. Odds are you can't find these random items anywhere else, so pick them up before someone else gets a hold on them!

It's the PERFECT place for last-minute shopping

Because Home Goods has pretty much everything, this store is definitely qualified for being one of those you can go to for last-minute items. Whether it be last-minute Christmas shopping for your co-workers, finding cute napkins for the Thanksgiving table, or a birthday gift for a friend, Home Goods has got you covered.

You can easily treat yo' self on a bad day

Everyone deserves a pick-me-up after a bad day, and what better way do to that than some unique retail shopping. Browse the shelves and find something super random that makes you giggle or even weirdly fascinated. Whatever it may be, at least it's going to be cute AND super affordable!

They have something for everybody

The fact that this store has so much to choose from in different styles, there is bound to be at least something for everyone available here. From their kitchen section and decor to paperweights and stationary, this store has literally anything for anyone.

Their clearance section is the sh**t

Everybody loves the sales rack, and it's even better at an affordable store like this one. Filled with knickknacks you never thought you needed but simply cannot live without now, you can finally get those irresistible fairy lights for your room or that cute picture frame for your mom's desk at work. The best thing about this section is that it's always changing- guess you have to take a second trip!

It is a DIY haven

For anyone who loves to DIY, forget your local craft store and try this chain for a change. Craft stores tend to be on the expensive side at the least, and with this store, in particular, you can find more cool stuff to create new looks for less. In a word, Home Goods is where it's at.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
