A Terrible Shopping Experience

What's worse than walking out of a store empty handed? It's walking out of a sale empty handed.

With winter already by the doorstep, there are only a few things to call in for a warm welcome. Jackets, coats, scarves and hats are all in great demand and since temperatures drop to below 0 Celsius you understand that you have to get off your couch and go shopping. As a person who hates shopping for anything and everything, I can guarantee you that my whole jacket shopping wasn't a blast. My dad took me to a well know jacket factory and felt that somewhere in that store there would be a coat or jacket for me. I was sure of the contrary. After three rounds my head was already spinning. I mean how do people even shop? Don't they get annoyed just staring and flipping through clothes as if they were the pages of a book. As some time passed I could feel my body temperature increasing without even a coat on. I didn't find a coat my size because well I guess people don't care about the extra small size anymore.

Done with our shopping extravaganza we finally stood in the line to return some clothes. Don't even get me started on how long it was and how much time it took us to reach the front. Let me just say huge. Amidst all the depressing thoughts of having not found a perfect jacket I finally see one that I really so i turn towards my dad and I say," Dad look at that it's so cool." Next thing I know I'm already there grabbing it, while doing so I dropped a watch and this polite lady says," Mama mia that's mine." I was so ashamed and embarrassed. Has anyone ever not done this before ? I apologized freakishly and walked towards my dad who had seen the whole incident. I was so freaked out, my dad on the other hand said," Ask her where she got it. " I said, "Not after all this"! So he politely asked her in his "softest" tone and we walked back over into the coat section searching for "the one " only to find an interesting coat that fit me. It had an extra fur strap and we stood for good 15 minutes trying to figure out what that was for. I mean there was already a hoodie so why ? We asked around and based on guesses came to a conclusion that it was to make a scarf. Excited to buy the coat we headed towards the front only to realize that the coat was worth a $100. We walked right out of the store. It was 10 in the night and we had spent three disappointing hours searching for a coat and walked out without one. What a day. My dad then said, "I'm just going leave you here one whole day to sit and search for coats." My head was exploding after all I did have a headache.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
