11 Confessions Of A Shopaholic

The shopping addiction is real!

It all began when someone told me to stop doing so much for other people and spending all my money on everyone else. They said I need to be able to treat myself to what I want and that's okay. And that it when the addiction began.

It is hard to just walk into a clothing store and not purchase something you see that you really want and really like. And this is me on a daily basis. I can't help but purchase something I see and I like. I have an infinite number of shoes, jackets, dresses, tops, jeans, and every other article of clothing you can think of. I have clothes everywhere. In the closet, drawers, bed, bins, other people's closet, and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend's house as well.

I was never the girl who cared about what she wore or how she looked. But I guess as you get older that changes. You start to care about what other people think and how you looks and who's looking at you. I no longer care what other people think but I do like to look good, I mean, come on who doesn't! I wish I could say that it is easy to just stop shopping and buying what I like, but it is not at all. Sometimes I get scared I am going to spend my whole entire paycheck in one store.

But here are some confessions I must make as a shopaholic:

1. It is hard to control how much I spend and what I spend it on.

2. I constantly online shop and look for the best sales.

3. Shoes are just an addiction I will never get rid of and the collection will just keep on growing.

4. I will never leave the house for a night out wearing anything less than a dress and heels.

5. I can't not go into a store and not buy something.

6. My closet is always so full and I still can never find anything to wear, so what do I do? Go shopping of course.

7. Some store owners know me so well that they know my style and pick out my outfits when I walk into the store.

8. I max out my credit card once it is paid off. Just a word of advice, don't do it you'll regret it.

9. My clothes will never define me because I am always switching up styles.

10. I love to bargain shop but if I want something and its a bit pricey I will buy it anyway.

11. I will never walk out of a store with less than 2 bags.

I don't think I will ever be able to stop shopping, but when I do have to start saving money I will have to limit myself somehow.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
