Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

1. You have room for more

Deciding what you wear and what you don't need becomes a lot easier because you get a profit from what you decide to sell. Making it much easier to fit more into your closet.

2. No need to use your hard earned money for new items

With the profit you make from selling your old unwanted items, you can purchase new items that you will get much more use out of.

3. You do not need to bring your clothes to a shop that will buy them for much less

Such as Plato's Closet, where you will get 75 cents for a shirt that is new with tags still attached that say $180 (yes that did happen to me).

4. You will make new friends

I have several different shopping apps on my phone, Mercari, Poshmark, Tradesy, Wanelo, and many more! The relationships I have made with some of the sellers are very strong and I continue to buy from them because I know the items will arrive in wonderful condition everytime!

5. Expensive brands for less

You quickly learn the deals and what is worth the buy and how quickly you need to buy before someone else. I have found brand new $400 purses for around $50!

6. You can shop whenever, wherever

You connect with others around the world at anytime! Say you work nights, so you sleep in the daytime. On your days off you can still shop when you're the only one up at 2-5 AM! In bed, on the train, in the coffee shop, even while you're driving! (Please, don't do that though, it is illegal).

7. You become familiar with the brands you like, and your sizes

Have you ever been asked by someone in a store, "can you please check my tag and see what size I am in jeans." It happens often to me, (mainly when I'm with my mom haha). I know exactly what size I am in almost everything, and I can refine my searches to my sizing so if I see something I like, I know I am not looking at something I can't have, because that's always a let down!

8. It's a free job

You do not need to fill out an application, or be a male, female, or any specific race. Everyone is accepted and everyone has a free chance to earn money!

There are many, many more reasons why you should online shop! Start downloading the apps, and at least give it a try! :)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
