The Stages Of Online Shopping, Described By "Parks And Rec"
Giphy

Online shopping is quite possibly one of the greatest technological developments of the modern world. The browsing, the wishlist creating, the shipping calculations, what could be better? No television cast can describe the ups and downs of the virtual shop better than the iconic cast of "Parks and Recreation".

1. Remembering you need clothes but have no desire to go to the mall.

via GIPHY

The mall is always crowded, loud, and smells like pretzels. There's always a threat of running into someone you know, or feet blistering from walking around. Don't worry: there is an alternative to the pain that comes from in-person shopping (Hint: You can use your computer).

2. Realizing you don't need to leave your house to shop.

via GIPHY

All you need to is a computer and a wifi connection, and you can do all your shopping in the comfort of your own room!

3. Adding everything you see into your cart.

via GIPHY

It feels a lot less consequential to add all the clothes you like into a virtual cart rather than a real one. Besides, you deserve it. In the immortal words of Tom Haverford, "Treat yourself"!

4. Looking at the final cost.

via GIPHY

All those half-off shirts add up pretty quickly. If you're not doing the math throughout the browsing, the final sum can be pretty upsetting.

5. Finding an online coupon and saving 10%.

via GIPHY

It feels good to beat the system through Groupon. You could never save like that in store.

6. Reading that it'll take 6-8 business days to arrive.

via GIPHY

The largest downside to online shopping: the unfortunate wait time. It'll prove to be the longest 6-8 days of your life.

7. Opening up your package when it finally arrives.

via GIPHY

The wait is over! It's like a present you sent to yourself!

8. Trying everything on and seeing how great you look.

via GIPHY

New clothes=instant confidence boost. You're killing it in that 10% off outfit!

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.
